Symbolism
A stout woman in a blue and yellow hat frowns with a displeased expression while a tall man in a top hat, green coat and cane turns the other way. The meeting between them is not pleasant: each looks in a different direction. The card stands for annoyance, displeasure and everyday friction.
- Meaning
- Annoyance points to a vexation, a situation that goes against expectations or a person who displeases. It is not a great tragedy but a nuisance that can sour the day if it is fed. Next to another card, it shows where there is friction and a theme that is not going well.
- Love
- Small disagreements and vexations can cool the mood between two people. Talk calmly about what bothers you before the irritation grows.
- Work & money
- There is a setback, a difficult colleague or an unpleasant task that disrupts the pace. With money, avoid decisions made in the heat of annoyance.
- As a person
- A grumpy person who is hard to please, or someone who causes vexations.
- Advice
- Take a deep breath, deal with the irritation early and do not let a bad mood decide for you.
