Symbolism
A stout man in a red cap with a pipe carries his coat over his arm while a porter follows behind with luggage on his back. In the background a stagecoach waits. The image shows a departure: movement, preparation and a change of place.
- Meaning
- The Journey indicates movement, whether a trip, a move to another city or a passage from one phase to another. What was standing still sets off, and the road matters as much as the destination. Next to another card, it carries that card's theme to a new place or puts it in transit.
- Love
- A trip together, a long-distance relationship or a change of routine can renew the bond. For those on their own, new places help in meeting new people.
- Work & money
- Commutes, work trips, a change of location or role come to the fore. With money, plan travel costs and organise your budget before leaving.
- As a person
- Someone who travels a lot or is just passing through, or who carries another person's luggage.
- Advice
- Pack ahead of time and move forward with the essentials.
