Rider in love
A new admirer, a message from someone you are waiting to hear from, or a relationship that moves quickly. Next to Heart it is a declaration; next to Clouds, mixed signals.

The meaning
What the Rider card means
The Rider brings something toward you, and fast. It is the card of news, visitors and the first move in a sequence — the email that arrives, the person who turns up, the development that sets the rest going. It describes speed and arrival rather than the content of the news; the cards beside it say what is coming.
Rider in work and money
Quick developments: an offer, a reply, a deadline brought forward. Good for anything that depends on momentum rather than patience.
Rider as a person
A young or energetic man, a courier, a messenger — someone who brings news rather than staying for it.
Rider as advice
Move first. Whatever you are waiting on is already on its way, so prepare for it rather than chase it.
Is the Rider a yes or no card?
Yes. The Rider moves things forward — expect an answer soon, and probably the one you are hoping for.

A fast-moving burdenThe Rider in a Grand Tableau
House 1 is row 1, column 1 — a corner, so it touches 3 cards: Clover, Scythe and Whip.
The house of the Rider shows what is on its way. Whatever lands here is news, a visit or a development that arrives soon: the Fish in this house is money coming in, the Coffin is word of an ending, and the Man or Woman here is someone about to get in touch.
