Quick advice

Core meaning
The Rider announces movement. Something is on the way: a message, visitor, invitation, opportunity, or energetic person who changes the rhythm of the situation. It is one of the clearest cards for arrival and quick development, especially when the question involves communication, timing, or whether anything will happen soon. The Rider rarely describes a final result by itself; it shows the first signal, the knock at the door, or the spark that starts a chain of events.
