The Protector is very often a card about returns on investments. This can be literal such as a bank account returning money to you, or figuratively, such as the investments of time, effort, and energy that you have put into a relationship. You will be reaping what you have sown. This is generally positive.

Reversed Meanings: investments, lack of growth, frustration, not putting effort in, lack of reward, not taking stock, impatience, aimlessness, not finishing what you started, cash flow problems, delay, waste, workaholic, slow progress, procrastination, lack of reflection, postponed retirement, laziness, setbacks, bad business/financial management

The Protector, whether upright or reversed, is usually in some way about a ‘returns on investment.’ You are likely to find (whether you are feeling good about things at the moment or not) that you are to some degree getting back what you have given out in the past.
