Upright: a starting interpretation
Check which assumptions need revisiting and what would make your foundations stronger. The keywords disruption, assumptions describe a theme to examine in your present situation. Compare that theme with something you have actually noticed; it need not explain every part of your question.
Reversed: a question to explore
Avoiding a difficult correction may keep an unstable assumption intact.
A reversal can suggest an inward, blocked or overemphasized theme. It does not automatically mean the opposite of the upright card. Decide whether it fits the question and the position you chose.
A question for your journal
