Netzach, desire and endurance
Netzach is victory: what is wanted, what attracts, and what holds out over time.
Upright
Flowing. Wanting held long enough to see what grows: the pause to assess mid-work. In the world of action, desire is patient. It plants, tends and waits, and the card shows the moment in the middle when it is easiest to give up.
Misdirected. Wanting the harvest without the tending, or leaving at the pause.
Reversed
Blocked. Nothing grows because the wanting is not sustained.
Flooded. Over-tending, planting everything and assessing constantly.
The image
A man rests on his hoe at the edge of a field, looking at a bush with seven coins growing among its leaves. He has done the work, and he is looking at what it has made so far.
