This is NOT the card to be insensitive about with
querent. If they seem lighthearted about it, then we
can be, but usually this card is a deep sorrow, not one
that can just be brushed off. Often, the sorrow needs
to be felt in order for querent to move beyond it. We
must be careful to be in tune with the pain that
surrounds this card.

The sadness associated with with "loss of pleasure."
The material universe (represented by the pentagram)
surmounting the aspiration of the soul, represented by
the 5th point or apex of the pentagram which, in this
case, is pointing downward. The astrological
correspondence of the card gives the reader mental
associations of intense energy and combustability
(Mars) applied to a fixed quality of water (Scorpio).
In mundane interpretations, the question could be
related to excess energy or force toward a particular
emotional want or perceived need. It is time to let go
of material attachments or 'fixations' (Scorpio) and go
with the flow of life more (nature of water).

Mars in Scorpio.
Disappointment because expectations were not met.
Putting attention on empty instead of full.
Not getting what or all you expected.
If your attention is moved to the positive, then
disappointment will be overcome.
No pain without attachment.
