At the Bottom of the Deck

At the bottom of the deck, we have “The World” in reverse.

Some of you may have recently closed a major chapter in your life and are now wondering what’s next.

You might also be feeling a bit restless or bored, looking for something new to begin.

By letting go of what no longer serves you, you’ll create space for fresh, positive cycles to enter your life!

Group 1: The Red Gem

To feel freer and more authentic, it’s better to let go of the belief that your worth is tied to your productivity.

You might come from a wealthy family with highly intelligent relatives. It seems like you’ve always felt pressured to succeed by their standards. As a result, you may struggle to express your emotions when you feel afraid or anxious.

Interestingly, the advice for you is to study history! But this doesn’t mean memorizing dates and events from textbooks. Instead, my cards suggest reading insightful books about human history to better understand yourself as a species. Here are some recommendations:

“Momo” by Michael Ende
“Tistou of the Green Thumbs” by Maurice Druon
“Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius
“The Nicomachean Ethics” by Aristotle
“Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind” by Yuval Noah Harari
“Bullshit Jobs” by David Graeber

Reading these books might be challenging, but they can help you understand the foundations of capitalism and human nature. You may come to realize that many so-called traditional ways of living are actually quite recent, giving you fresh insight into how you want to shape your own life!

Group 2: The Blue Gem

To feel freer and more authentic, it may help to find more balance instead of fully embracing a wild, free-spirited lifestyle. While a playful mindset is often linked to creativity, my cards suggest that staying grounded will actually bring you a deeper sense of freedom and authenticity.

The “Seven of Wands” appears in the center of your spread, where I asked about the reason behind this. It seems your spirits and ancestors want you to embrace independence, as it will bring you more freedom and the ability to make your own choices!

Of course, you might feel scared, but don’t worry—you’re someone who can shape your own life, or this card wouldn’t have appeared.

The advice for you is that taking on some responsibility could be empowering! It might feel like the weight is too much to bear at first, but as you take small steps, it will become more manageable, and soon it won’t feel so heavy.

If you ever feel overwhelmed by too many burdens, remember you can always rely on your family, friends, or even professionals. Don’t worry—the world can feel cold at times, but from my own experiences, I know there are also good people out there!

Group 3: The Purple Gem

To feel freer and more authentic, you need to let go of the belief that you must stay grounded. You might be feeling a bit too afraid of losing everything, especially when it comes to finances and property.

You might be feeling a lot of pressure to act quickly. With three Knight cards showing up, you could be a student or someone young, which may mean you’re facing pressure from your parents, friends, and society.

The advice for you is to keep dreaming! It looks like it’s too early to give up on your dreams.

With the “Knight of Cups” in reverse, you may feel like you can’t marry someone you love without wealth. But my cards suggest that prioritizing time over money is key right now. You might have made your partner wait for your success, but if marriage is your goal, timing matters. If you’re serious about the relationship, now could be a great time to open up and share your true feelings!

If you’re dreaming of a creative career, it’s not too late to go for it! If there’s still something you can do—like showing your portfolio to publishers, making demo tapes, reaching out to agencies, or applying for internships at your dream company—give it a try! You’ll feel so much more enthusiastic and empowered when you give it your all.
