direction · resolve · momentum

Opposing pulls can be harnessed rather than fought. Decide where you are going, hold the reins, and move.

Love
Take the initiative; a relationship moves forward with intent.
Work and money
Progress through focus and determination; travel is possible.
Reversed
Pulling in two directions at once. Decide where you are going before you speed up.

Tarot is a mirror for reflection, not a forecast. For timing in marriage or career, your kundli says far more.
