emotional mastery · origin · the wellspring · deep nourishment · sovereignty of feeling
Upright
You have found the source — not a river, not a well, but the place where water first emerges from the living rock. This is emotional sovereignty: not the control of feeling, but the deep understanding of where your feelings come from and what they are for. Drink from the source, and you will never thirst.
Reversed
You have lost touch with your own emotional source, or you are hoarding the water instead of letting it flow. A source that does not give becomes stagnant. Share your depth. Let it nourish others as it has nourished you.
Irish lore
Every great river in Ireland was traced to a sacred source — a well, a spring, a hidden place in the mountains where the water first appeared. The source was the most sacred point, the origin of all that flowed from it. To know the source was to know the soul of the land.
