How will my big project go?

Short version: the project goes the way its paperwork goes — the cards show the feeling behind it is strong right now and cools later, so the outcome hinges on what's written, not what's felt.

Here's the draw (three-card, past / present / future):

The Past is Death upright: an earlier version of this project has already ended — a scope, a team, a plan, or a version of you working on it. Something in it genuinely closed, and that's structural, not a bad omen.

The Present is Six of Cups upright: right now you're running this on affection. You like it, it feels like yours, and the energy is warm and generous — good for the next stretch of work, but that's the fuel, not the plan.

The Future is Knight of Cups reversed: the taste for it thins. Under that condition, this usually shows up as a promise made on enthusiasm going quiet, a mood swing in commitment, or the charm that carried the pitch wearing off — the work hasn't failed, it just stops feeling like the thing. Two of the three are Cups, so feeling is the main channel in this whole spread; water carrying two seats means the inner life of the project is the loudest variable, not the schedule.

So, conditional: if the original written scope still reads as work you'd do on a bad week, the ending that shows is a smaller, quieter version of the same project, and that one holds. If the current description only makes sense when you're in a good mood about it, the reversed Knight points to enthusiasm outrunning the actual commitments.

Your step, inside 48 hours: put the original written scope of this project next to the current one-paragraph version of it, and mark the lines that survive without the enthusiasm. That comparison brings back something the cards can't supply — and it tells you which of the two futures you're buying.
