11 Whip
Quick hit: Chronic, sex, critical, argumentative
Quality: Negative
Timing: Eleven days, weeks, months, the 11th of the month, November; repetitive
Detail: The Whip card is also called the Birch Rod or Broom. It speaks to repetitive acts, such as ongoing criticism, conflicts or disputes. More lightly, it may indicate a passionate discussion. It can also refer to sex or repetitive athletic activities. Note that some schools rely on the Lily card to mean sex instead.
Compare: Compare the repetitive nature of Whip to the fleeting nature of Clover.
