## Upright

Keywords: justice, sacrifice, courage

### General

The energy of Tyr, the warrior god, is with you — the courage to fight for what is right, an honourable stance and a fair victory mark this time. Listening to your conscience in a hard decision will prove you right. Don't shy away from leading.

### Love

Devotion, honesty and a fair balance come to the fore in your relationship. You face difficulties together, bravely — not an easy partnership, but a deeply valuable one. Standing behind your word will strengthen trust.

### Career

You may be proven right in a legal matter, or your honest leadership may be recognised at work. Your disciplined effort will bring far more lasting success than shortcuts ever could.

## Reversed

Keywords: injustice, loss of courage, defeat

### General

You may feel you have been treated unfairly, or be unable to find the courage to keep up a fight. Your discipline may have been shaken. But before giving up, ask yourself whether you are truly tired or just afraid.

### Love

There may be an uneven balance of power or a sense of unfairness in your relationship. Doubts about loyalty may surface. Facing problems bravely instead of running from them improves your chances of saving the relationship.

### Career

There is a risk of an unfair outcome in a legal matter. Your motivation and resolve at work may have weakened. Rather than retreating now, focus on regaining discipline in small steps.

## Practical Tip

Believed to bring courage and resolve to struggles that end fairly and quickly, especially legal ones.
