Isa Upright Meaning
Representative of ice, Isa indicates stillness. When things are frozen, they are slow to move. But this slowness opens the opportunity to reflect, reassess, and develop better ways to approach the situation.
When receiving Isa while inquiring about another person, it could mean that they are emotionally cold or holding back from any action until they feel a sense of security and warmth. While Isa may indicate temporal delays, these are not necessarily bad because they give you time to think before you act and change perspective.
Isa Reversed Meaning
Isa has no reversed meaning.
