Reversed Meaning

When reversed, the water flows downward from the cups, dousing the wings of the lion, symbolizing a conflict between fire and water.

It suggests learning to unite different people, things, and situations while maintaining equality to establish harmonious relationships. This card may also describe exhaustion from an unequal or imbalanced friendship or relationship.
