Above a card mean: Dependence neediness energy drain

Below a card mean: Mechanicality habit reaction unconscious behavior

In a descending scale, re is the furthest point from do and represents Dependence. Cards drawn below re -- or it’s chromatic counterpart, le -- speak of what needs us, of what requires our energy, our help.

In an ascending scale, re is the second step; as soon as our intention is voiced at do, re appears as resistance. Cards drawn above re or le speak of Mechanicality, which is that within us that works against our intent: our habits, our self-deception, our laziness, our unconscious posturing and reactive behaviors, our dull but waking sleep. Mechanicality is what awaits us when we truly try to act; it is the medium that intention must penetrate.
