The first remarkable thing you would notice about this card is that the card is mostly yellow. We have learned through this book that yellow represents the intellect, an open mind, logic, wisdom and practicality. It is a card about using your power correctly. It is the one clue that directs us to handle this situation cleverly and thoughtfully. This is not a time for emotional reactions or sentimentality. The background is abundant, yet rocky with small hills and dales scattered along the scenery. There are tents in the right of the card that could indicate a town, group of people, ethnic group or culmination of all your friends and family. The main character seems as if he is "sneaking" away with problems and obstacles as well as being sure of himself. He is also very happy that he handled the situations so well. He is unaware that he left two Swords behind (or actually in the future). He feels grounded by his beige tunic and has the desire for calmness, serenity and harmony by his blue tights, as well as a desire to put these troubles behind him as represented by his red boots and hat. The hat may also indicate that his desire has been on his mind for some time. He doesn't want others to know that he is handling the situation or helping out, but is quite pleased with himself for doing so. Some advice might be to stop handling everyone else’s problems and concerns and deal with your own. Don’t take on too many obligations and perhaps start handling one thing at a time until you are more in control of life around you.
