Upright Meanings: responsibilities, burn-out, drudgery, resistance, duty, ruined, taken for granted, delays, saddled, keep going, lost focus, obligation, restricted, overburdened, stress, taking on too much, problems, major challenges, failure, lost your way, struggle, weight on shoulders, overloaded, uphill struggle, pain, lack of fun/ spontaneity

When The Drudge appears, you may feel as though you are carrying a very heavy burden. You may want to look hard at this and see if there are any ways that you might lighten your load either literally or figuratively. If you look carefully you may find that part of the burden you are carrying emotionally actually belongs to someone else. It will be important for you to pace yourself now. Don’t try to do too much.

Reversed Meanings: duty-bound, no stamina, cleverness, off-loading, insurmountable problems, collapse, strength, breakdown, flogging a dead horse, dumping, shirking duties/responsibilities, energy, too much responsibility/ stress, learning to say no, working hard but getting nowhere, resigned to fate, not up to the challenge, cross too heavy to bear

When The Drudge reversed appears, it’s important that you are completely honest with yourself and everyone around you now. No one is served by being deceptive. If you feel that someone who is important to you is being dishonest, you may well be correct. However, be certain before confronting anyone; and sometimes a confrontation is not necessary at all. Take it slow. You may be ‘stressed out.’
