Upright meaning
A lit candle, a brightening horizon. A bright, uplifting energy — especially amid upheaval and loss. But hope can also be a trap: a passive waiting for better while consenting to the unacceptable. In that case it is a call to act. Look closely at the surrounding symbols.
Reversed meaning
In reversed position
Reversed — you have lost hope, or the situation seems hopeless. That feeling colours the spread and may colour the outcome. Give yourself a rest: the light has not gone out, it is only behind a cloud.
