In a love reading
You are awake turning a worry about this relationship over and over, picturing the worst version of a conversation that has not actually happened yet. Nothing here has been confirmed as true — it is a fear rehearsing itself, and it will look smaller once you can talk to the actual person instead of the one in your head.
Reversed
Morning is arriving and the fear is shrinking back to its real size, most of it revealed as noise rather than signal. Or the worry has kept its grip past daylight, refusing to shrink even once there was no more evidence for it than there ever was.
As you, in the relationship
You worry about this more than you let on, and mostly at night.
Reversed
The worry is lifting and you are suspicious of the calm.
What you want and dread at once
You hope the worry turns out to be unfounded.
Reversed
You are afraid the worst version is the true one.
