Five of Clubs

The evening's pleasures turn quickly enough to pain in the hard morning light. In this case, the dirty martinis' trailing hangover brings a sidecar of green-gilled nausea to boot. Oh, for some aspirin, coffee and an old-school bloody mary. Has the sun really always been this bright? Shudder.

Meaning: Regret, remorse, new resolutions.

Reversed: Amnesia, blissful ignorance, penance, dry-cleaning.
