Reversal

Reversal card in Sonya Shannon's Transformation Oracle

11 – Air
Guide Book – page 42 and 61
Artwork – “Yin-Yang”

Re-assess what you have lost… and what you still have.

This is the last card in the element Air. If you drew this card, it’s the completion of a phase where you operated under a certain set of ideas, values, and expectations about life. All these things are now overturned and you’ll need to reconsider how to navigate forward.

This card is ruled by the planet Uranus, which often causes chaos, cosmic surprises, and sudden release. Some reversals happen unexpectedly and come as a real shock. Others happen more slowly and may be accompanied by recurring nightmares or dreams, where your unconscious knows your life is about to flip upside-down long before the rest of you can accept it. The mid-life crisis is the most proverbial example of a reversal.

Following a reversal, you’ll need to get your bearings. Go inside, ask the Universe for help, and do the Element Balancing Spread for insights. Good luck!

Reversed Meaning

If this card appears upside-down, the reversal is going to feel extremely liberating at first. But beware! The far-reaching consequences will affect you and pose some challenges you hadn’t anticipated. Draw another card or look to the other cards in your spread for extra guidance.
