Les Poissons
The Fish
What Swims Close
The Quatrain
Poissons à distance : Très mauvaise chance. Poissons près des yeux : Un passage heureux.
The fish change with proximity: far away, fortune recedes; close at hand, movement and passage are favored.
The Archetype
Distant, bad luck; near the eyes, a happy passage. Water carries unconscious material in most symbolic systems, and this card is specific that it has to be brought close — actually looked at — before it turns from threat into safe passage.
A Practice For Today
Bring one vague worry into clear focus today by actually looking at it directly, rather than letting it stay a distant blur.
