This minor card also indicates someone who is protective, defensive, assertive, forceful, relentless, determined and territorial. It can suggest that you are under attack, being harassed, blamed or scapegoated but you are resisting. Life may be challenging, busy and hectic with this card in your spread so you will need stamina to endure.

When The Reversed Raccoon appears, you may find yourself needing to guard against indecision.
