The card

A key lies across the card. The object is plain and the meaning follows from it: it opens something.

Traditional meaning

Traditionally the Key is certainty, resolution and a turn of fate — an unambiguously positive card.

How to read it

The Key is "this is it": confirmation, the solution, the move that opens the situation. It stamps whatever sits beside it — what it touches holds. Asked "will it happen", the Key is a yes. It also marks matters that are important and meant to be.

In context

Love

A definite answer about the relationship, or the crux of it found.

Work

A proposal approved, a hard problem solved, clearance obtained.

Timing

It will happen, and usually before long.
