Upright
A quiet boat glides toward a distant shore, carrying you away from troubled waters toward calmer ones. This is a crossing — a departure from a hard period, a journey that is not easy but leads somewhere better. Leave behind what you can no longer carry and trust the water that is carrying you.
Reversed
You're trying to move on, but something is pulling you back — unfinished business, resistance to change, a burden you cannot set down. The crossing is delayed, or you are fighting the current that is carrying you anyway. The stars remind you: some shores cannot be reached until you are willing to swim away from the old one.
