Two mendicants in a snow-storm pass a lighted casement.

Divinatory Meaning

Upright

The card foretells material trouble above all, whether in the form illustrated--that is, destitution--or otherwise. For some cartomancists, it is a card of love and lovers-wife, husband, friend, mistress; also concordance, affinities. These alternatives cannot be harmonized.

Conquest of fortune by reason.

Reversed Meaning

Reversed

Disorder, chaos, ruin, discord, profligacy.

Troubles in love.
