At the back of this card from the bottom, intense darkness sweeps up consuming any light, until just over half way up when the light starts to penetrate the darkness to reveal in the top quarter the light, centred in the middle of which looks like the waxing gibbous the phase after the full moon. I love the romance of the full moon, so this phase speaks to me of the honeymoon period been over. Across the bottom of the card shroud in darkness four glasses/goblets, stand in a row, invoking the need for stability and grounding.
Across the top of glasses/goblets lay a rodent, its placement has its mouth that could dribble into the first glass/goblet and toilet in the last. Contact with its body is made along the top of all four glasses/goblets. Eating or drinking, food or water contaminated with rodent urine or droppings can cause bacteria and disease. Although not always some bacteria’s and diseases are caught through contact. With the above in mind there is a general unwell feeling from this card, whether lethargic, or due to food poisoning, flu, sickness, or a contact disease etc…
The continual growth of the rodent incisors are, kept under control by constantly gnawing. This brings to mind something that is eating at the emotions or causing an irritation.
