Rey de Bastos

AutoridadambiciónFuego

Al derecho

En el reino de la voluntad, el trabajo y el calor creativo, esta es la autoridad externa sobre el elemento. Recíbela con la honestidad del fuego y avanzará veloz.

Invertida

Invertida, la corriente de bastos se vuelve hacia el interior: autoridad defendiéndose a sí misma en lugar de liderar. Nómbralo con claridad y el bloqueo se disolverá.

En el amor

Here the heart is being asked to choose deliberately instead of drifting. Choose, and the tension resolves.

En el trabajo y el dinero

Professionally it warns against effort spent on the wrong field. Audit before you push harder.

El Consejo

“I am allowed to change my mind in public.”
