What the Mirror of Truth card means
Mirror of Truth is one of the deck's more demanding cards. It proposes that what provokes you in other people, admiration or irritation, is showing you something about yourself. The colleague who is 'so arrogant' may be displaying a confidence you have suppressed; the friend whose warmth you envy may be showing you a capacity you have never given yourself. The card asks you to use every strong reaction as data, turning judgement into self-knowledge. It is not about blame in either direction; it is about seeing clearly.
When Mirror of Truth appears in a reading
It tends to appear during conflict, when you find yourself rehearsing arguments, or when a particular person's behaviour is taking up far more of your mental space than the situation warrants.

Reading this card for yourself
A card's message is fixed, but its meaning for you depends on where you are. The same card lands differently in a week of endings than in a week of beginnings. Read the meaning above, then sit with the prompts before deciding what it is telling you. For a reading that weighs the card against your birth chart and today's transits, draw it in the app.
