People may appreciate your tolerance, curiosity and ability to feel comfortable in many different environments.
Challenges
The World in its shadow can show up as restlessness, fear of limitation or unfinished cycles. You may avoid commitment, keep looking for something better elsewhere or struggle to feel at home anywhere. Some people with this arcana dream of expansion but fear leaving their comfort zone. The work here is to complete what you begin and find freedom within commitment, not only outside it.
In different positions
