Key Phrase

Be ambitious. Chase your every dream.

Ambitious Pursuit

The Knight types away on her phone with purpose—but what is it that she's writing? Her latest book blog, of course. 'I was up all night reading this one, & oh my unicorns, do I have some things to say . . .' she goes. She doesn't care if 1 person or 100,000 people read it—she just wants to be heard by someone, anyone. In some readings, you'll find that this card can represent a determined teenager or a young adult; in others, you'll find that it can represent any person, regardless of their age, who has a head full of dreams & refuses to let anything get in the way of achieving them. Which is great, so long as they don't get so caught up in those dreams that they lose sight of reality.

Reversed Meaning

This person may have jumped headfirst into something with very little thought beforehand, which usually works out for them, but this time . . . not so much. Every cause has an effect, so be absolutely, positively sure before doing anything potentially reckless.
