The Shift
Change * Transition * Momentum
The Shift speaks to the moments you change roles. It is the transformation - from street to stage, from self to persona, from one version of yourself to another. It honours the power of adaptability: being able to read the room, switch gears, and navigate danger and desire. This card reminds you that you contain multitudes, and your ability to shift is both a tool and a shield.
Reversed
The Shift can signal disconnection, when switching roles leaves you feeling fragmented, lost, or stuck between versions of yourself. You might feel like you are switching so often that your core self is buried underneath. This card may also point to resistance to change, clinging to an identity, ego, or roles that no longer suit you.
