✨ 3 tips for combining it

With crisis cards, it's the light afterwards. Example: The Star + Arcanum XIII is hope after an ending.
With Cups, it's clean love. Example: The Star + Ace of Cups is showing yourself as you are and being loved like that.
With doubt cards, hope fades. Example: The Star + Nine of Swords is pessimism that won't let you see the good.
