Card combination

Death and The Sun

The Waite Death card has a sun rising between two pillars in the background, which makes this pair a card drawn with its own horizon. The tradition reads it exactly that way: the ending and the light already visible behind it, present in the same image rather than promised as a sequel.

In love

Associated with an ending that is genuinely a relief, and with permission to feel it as one.

In career

Read for something finishing that should have finished earlier. The pair is favourable.

The advice

The good part is not a consolation prize. It is in the same picture as the ending and you are allowed to look at it.
