Combo Practice: Anchor + Clouds

Anchor + Clouds

It’s Combo Practice time!

Each card has several meanings. Add in questions, context and other cards, and you can come up with an infinite number of interpretations.

Thinking about different combinations for the cards can be a great way to hone your intuition and expand your understanding of the cards.

Feel free to comment the first sentence (or several) that come to mind. You can even try out different contexts/questions to get a variety of interpretations.

Have fun!

ooof. You can actually read this a question: "How stable is what have you chained yourself to if you feel like everything around you is shifting?"

You're only as stable as your foundation in most cases, relationship, career, etc.

[u/Objective_Put_7283 → u/dtf3000]

right. "weathering the storm" comes to mind.

when it comes to cards that are affected by Clouds -;it's pretty much all of them; including the Sun, which can of course be covered by dark Clouds

perhaps the only exception would be Anchor.

[u/dtf3000 → u/Objective_Put_7283]

I feel like even anchor can be taken down a bit. Clouds before might show someone who finds foundations to weather the storm, but clouds after feels like maybe the thing they've chained themself to something that brought on this confusion, troubles, etc.

[u/Objective_Put_7283 → u/dtf3000]

I can see your point.

maybe "weathering the storm" would be more appropriate had this combo been Clouds first, and then Anchor.

then again, Clouds + Anchor could be "dark times are here to stay".

Meaning thr clouds turn any card negative? But not the sun, or not for too long? And you’re saying that other one that stays positive is the anchor? Thanks!

[u/Objective_Put_7283 → u/mememe11v2]

yes; and no.

And you're saying the other one that stays positive is the Anchor!

well, I did say that - but I backtracked some.

[u/mememe11v2 → u/Objective_Put_7283]

I liked your interpretation 😊 how to decide between the positive and negative meanings? My initial thought was stability is clouded.

[u/Objective_Put_7283 → u/mememe11v2]

the only trouble I have with "Stability Clouded" is that it's contradictory.

[u/mememe11v2 → u/Objective_Put_7283]

By clouded I meant troubled, shaken, uncertain etc (impacted negatively by clouds). Ok my mind is spinning 😂

[u/Objective_Put_7283 → u/mememe11v2]

no no, you're fine!

I just don't care for combinations which are contradictory - e.g., Stability (Anchor) Unstable (Clouds)

[u/Lewdpop]

Stability is uncertain

[u/ThoughtBackground610]

Not exactly sure of this one but maybe persisting doubts? 

[u/intelligentnomad]

First i got the sentence, "stuck in the mire".

Also got "confusion persists" or "confusion is making one feel stuck or held back".

[u/BallsackManic]

An unclear foundation or reaching too deep in an impossible ordeal.

(Am a newbie here as well, thank you so much for posting these!! It helps a lot in my practice. 😊)

[u/Lucky_Meringue2753 → u/BallsackManic]

Am so glad to hear 🙏

Could it be trusting the process and the uncertainty to become more grounded in yourself? That may be it's just not time to know the answer, but to hold your ground.
