What the card shows

The young figure holds before him a cup from which a fish comes out, and his attention fixes on that apparition. His body stays turned towards the cup, one foot set at the water’s edge.

Its light

Your emotional curiosity makes you discover your own needs and what plays out in your bonds, when you let an impression settle before you make it a conclusion.

Its shadow

Every impression looks decisive to you: you take a passing emotion for a truth and you react hot, as if the fish out of the cup told everything.
