Symbolism
A rider at full gallop carries messages from one place to another. He stands for speed, the arrival of something or someone, and the movement that gets a situation going.
- Meaning
- The Rider announces that something is on its way: news, a visitor or an opportunity knocking at the door. The energy is active and dynamic, so whatever was standing still tends to start moving. Next to another card, he speeds up that theme and brings something new to it.
- Love
- Someone new may approach, or a person from the past may resurface with a message. In relationships it points to initiative, invitations and concrete steps.
- Work & money
- Proposals, contacts and professional news arrive quickly, so it is time to be agile. Financially, it signals movement: income on its way or decisions that need a prompt answer.
- As a person
- A quick, restless young person or messenger who brings news and is always on the move.
- Advice
- Respond promptly and go out to meet what is arriving.
