Ship in a reading

Ship is journey: distance, change and trade. Its tone is mixed, and its timing is slow, over weeks. When the question asks for a plain yes or no, this card counts as mixed.

Love

Distance or a relationship abroad.

Work

Travel, relocation, foreign dealings.

Money

Trade and ventures.

Health

Rest and recovery away from home. This is not medical advice.

Shadow

Restlessness, drift, a venture that goes nowhere.

By age

child	A trip with family.
young	Travel and moving away.
adult	Relocation or a foreign venture.
mature	Journeys and distance.
elder	Longing for far places.

As a house

Ship is also the 3rd house: journey and distance. Its question is Where is life carrying you, and how far?. Wherever it falls in the tableau, that area of life is being described.
