Cancer: Caring for a bond also means noticing your own boundaries. "The Lovers" sets the scene; "The Star" raises the challenge. Its Water element, Moon rulership and traditional link to "The Chariot" provide symbolic context for the sign, not a claim about today's planetary transits.

Reading summary
Reading summary
The sequence begins with "The Lovers", moves through "8 · Swords", and ends with "3 · Cups". For a question about General, the move from Context to Closure suggests a symbolic development, not a certain outcome.
Several Major Arcana cards put more weight on the underlying issue than on its immediate details.
Cups is the dominant suit; consider how its theme runs through the whole spread.
Several reversed cards add friction or delay; their positions show where the process may need attention.
Compare this reading with actual events and conversations before making a decision.
