Upright Meaning
Ready, set, go! Your steady pace has turned into a full-on sprint and you are now moving faster than ever. Progress is a process, and you are combusting with frenetic force, pushing your plans into rapid action. Things are falling into place, in a serendipitous fashion. Within structure there is freedom, room for more self-expression and creativity. Boundaries enable you to think about the important tasks, funneling your efforts into concentrated focus instead of using up your reserves. Fueled by your passion, you are moving faster than ever, picking up inspiration along the way! Whirlwinds of possibilities flow freely around you, with you in the center of the storm. Take advantage of the opportunities that come your way. The Universe is working in your favor!
Reversed Meaning
Impatience grows as mounting delays prolong you from taking any kind of action. The postponement is dampening your spirit and you are irritated at the deficiency of the system at large. However, this may be a blessing in disguise. Your constant on-the-go attitude can cause you to make unforeseeable mistakes along the way, whether they have happened yet or not. Going a million miles an hour can be frantic, and you could overlook some key details traveling in that speed. Practice patience and breathe. Slowing down and appreciating what you have can refuel your engine with much-needed creativity and inspiration. Time is constant, but your energy is not. Remember to enjoy the journey along the way, detours and pit stops included.
