Divination Meaning Standard:
Niz in a cast is a signifier that a rest period is needed. You have a duty to yourself to focus on yourself which will allow you to place yourself in the present. Niz states that if you spend your time fantasizing about the future or regretting the past, you will lose the best part of your life: the present. The advice of Niz is to be lucid and live in a coherent way with yourself and your possibilities. It is also a reminder that the present is the physical reality that we are part of, the future is birthed from our actions today.
Divination Meaning Reversed:
When reversed, Niz is a messenger of afflictions and limitations. When a piece of our interior being and wants is denied, it can cause inward destruction. Niz reversed is saying it's time to rid yourself of this negativity and cleanse all pieces of oneself. Do well to be mindful that the term “suffer” originally meant only “endure”. You may therefore be required to endure the dark moments of your journey, calling them to light. Controlling anger, suppressing impulses. Keeping one’s faith solid—that’s what is at stake. Even more than that is our own balance.
