Symbolic interpretations in the Rider–Waite–Smith tradition, not predictions of established facts. A “yes/no” label is a convention, not a probability.

You need to defend the relationship against doubts or outside pressure.
Competitors are pressing — hold your standard and believe in your work.
Stand your ground — you have more right to this position than it seems.
Tarot cannot diagnose illness or assess treatment. This page describes symbolic interpretations, not medical findings.
