Arianrhod
The turn nobody arranges, and the fact that a turn is never final.
Upright
Circumstances are shifting for reasons outside your control. Meet the change rather than bracing against it — the position you are being moved into is not the one you would have chosen and may be better. Timing matters more than effort right now.
Reversed
Not used in Raynebow readings - reversals are off in the product. Shown here for reference.
Resisting an inevitable change, or blaming fate for what was a decision. A run of luck taken as evidence of merit.

The Welsh story
Arianrhod is the lady of Caer Arianrhod, the silver wheel, identified with the turning circumpolar stars that never set. Asked to step over Math's wand to prove her virginity, she bore two sons on the spot and fled — Dylan, who took to the sea, and the unnamed child Gwydion raised. She then laid three destinies on that son, denying him a name, arms and a wife, and Gwydion broke each in turn.
