Support - Attraction - Companion
Because Satellites accompany their planetary companion faithfully, they are often seen as a symbol of support and attraction. In Latin, the word “satellite” means companion, guard, attendant, or follower. Satellites are in a perpetual orbit around their larger comrade, tailing its heels, ever present in a team effort.
In a reading, the Satellite card symbolizes a strong interest in another individual. Romantic or platonic, one may find they are chasing steadfastly after another with inexplicable dedication.
Upright, a person may be caught in the gravity of another, happy to offer support and companionship. It may manifest itself in a life-long bond or a closeness that intertwines two worlds.
Reversed, the Satellite’s inexhaustible pursuit of its planetary companion may be less than fruitful. The Satellite may be seen as a bothersome suitor or a tenacious co-worker. On the other hand, the Satellite may be caught in a destructive cycle with another they cannot seem to escape. In some cases, it represents an unhealthy and overzealous pursuit of a person, goal, or vision.
