As a person, upright

Someone dutiful and hard-working who takes on more than their share fits this card. They tend to be dependable, follow through and push to the finish even when exhausted. What they bring is commitment, sometimes at their own expense.

As a person, reversed

This person in shadow cannot or will not let go of the load. They may martyr themselves, refuse help and then resent it, or finally buckle under the strain. Learning to delegate is often the change that frees them.

Their strengths

At best this person brings burden, overload and responsibility.

In love

Carrying too much of the relationship alone: the planning, the emotional work, the keeping of the peace. The load is real and it is unevenly shared.

At work

Overload: carrying a team, a department or a business on your back. The burden is real and unevenly shared.

As feelings

Heavy, burdened care is the theme. They may have feelings for you but be weighed down by work, obligations or problems, so the affection shows up as tiredness or distraction. The connection can seem like one more thing to carry, even when it matters.
