In the Attitude position
Hidden mental attitude.

Four of Cups - Reversed
In the Attitude position
Visible mental attitude.
Meaning: What is the darkest thing holding your focus? Where do you place negative energy? How does it distract you from unseen opportunities staring you right in the face? Emotional reality is tricky and seductive. Once an emotion takes hold, it can trick you with the illusion of permanence, then vanish without a trace. Placing stock in emotional
fluctuations is like grasping at the mist—it will always elude you. Knowing this, you are free to change your reactions to emotions as they bubble up.

Six of Wands - Reversed
In the Spirit position
Visible spiritual path.
Meaning: Not all is as it seems. The women are
ghosts. The child is real. The ghosts have stolen the child and left a changeling in its place. Changelings, common in European folklore, express anxiety about the pre-industrial family
and infant mortality. This card asks you this: How does anxiety express itself in you? Are you jealous of other people's good fortune? Jealousy and envy are helpful. They point us in the direction of what we want. Let it go. If we harbor jealousy, envy, and thievery, we act
against the natural state of the universe. There is enough for all of us.
