Anchor in love
A stable, long-term commitment. Security, sometimes with a lack of excitement. Beside the Ring it is a marriage built to last; beside the Whip, a relationship stuck in a pattern.

The meaning
What the Anchor card means
The Anchor is stability: security, endurance, the long term and arriving at a goal. It is also a work card — the job that holds you in place. It keeps things where they are, which is either a safe harbor or a weight.
Anchor in work and money
Job security, a long career, reaching a goal, staying put. With the Fox it is a permanent position; with the Fish, a business that has found its footing.
Anchor as a person
A reliable, steady, persistent person.
Anchor as advice
Stay the course. Stability is your strength here.
Is the Anchor a yes or no card?
Yes. A lasting yes — the Anchor holds what you are asking about steady for the long term.

A long-term burdenThe Anchor in a Grand Tableau
House 35 is row 4, column 8 — an edge, so it touches 5 cards: Ring, Book, Letter, Fish and Cross.
The house of the Anchor is stability, long-term goals and work. A card that falls here settles and lasts: the Heart in this house is a lasting relationship, the Ship a move abroad that becomes a settled life, and the Mice insecurity about a job.
