Reversed Meanings: delays, disruption, outside influences, bad luck, interruption, disorder, external forces, lack of control, upheaval, unwelcome change, failure
The Crow reversed card still indicates change but this change is likely to be negative and unwelcome. In reverse The Crow is a strong indicator that there is a challenging time ahead and that the change coming may be difficult to adjust to. It can represent that things had been going well and have suddenly and quite unexpectedly fallen apart. This sudden deterioration can leave you feeling powerless, out of control and as if external forces are working against you. However, that is not the case. While there may be some outside factors, the current situation is most likely a result of decisions you made. You will need to take control of your situation and ownership of your choices in order to learn from this situation.
