The Sentimentalist is a card about wishful thinking. It warns us to remember to pay attention to what ‘is’ now, and the many blessings we each currently experience, and not to worry too much about ‘what could be.’ It is all too easy to overlook what we already have in the pursuit of what we don’t have.

Reversed Meanings: beginning, focusing on the positive, focus, new goals, gratitude, being proactive, zest for life, motivation, seizing opportunities, interest, enthusiasm, letting go of regret, ambitions, self-awareness, end of stagnation

The Reversed Sentimentalist is a card about breaking out of a self-imposed rut. You may know that you’re in a rut but not realize that it is a self-imposed one. You can control your own destiny to an extent so it’s time to get on with the job. You are about to find yourself getting moving again. That’s a good thing.
