i think in advice position reversed cards are usually telling you what to fix, not what to avoid entirely

so maybe it's less "give up hope" and more "stop waiting passively for things to work out, actually DO something toward the thing you're hoping for"

ok that reframe helps a lot actually. i think i have been kind of just... waiting instead of acting. gonna sit with that

star reversed for me has always been about restoring faith after burnout. like the light's still there you just gotta actually look up and notice it again
