The Way
Via · mobile
The question is in motion; outcome depends on the path, not a fixed wish.
The People
Populus · stable
The question is dissolved in a group, system, or common flow.
Greater Fortune
Fortuna Major · stable
The situation has a strong spine if the resource is not scattered.
Lesser Fortune
Fortuna Minor · mobile
There is a chance, but brief and speed-dependent.
Conjunction
Conjunctio · mixed
Two paths meet; the quality of the link matters.
Prison
Carcer · stable
The situation is compressed by a frame; this can be protection or delay.
Gain
Acquisitio · mixed
The question bends toward increase, receiving, or gathering resource.
Loss
Amissio · mixed
Something leaves: sometimes as loss, sometimes as release.
Maiden
Puella · mixed
The situation asks for softness, beauty, diplomacy, and measure.
Youth
Puer · mobile
The situation is full of quick impulse, risk, and desire to act.
White
Albus · stable
Clarity, sobriety, and calm mind are needed.
Red
Rubeus · mobile
The situation is overheated: passion, anger, or haste distort judgement.
Joy
Laetitia · mobile
The form rises: there is relief, growth, or visible progress.
Sorrow
Tristitia · stable
The question grows heavy; it needs timing, support, and honest recognition of burden.
Dragon's Head
Caput Draconis · mobile
An entry into a new cycle opens, but passage requires right form.
Dragon's Tail
Cauda Draconis · mobile
An old cycle exits; closure may be proper clearing.
