The Minor Seventh: Retreat

retreat,withdrawal, return, attachment, addiction Ratio: 16:9

The Minor Seventh implies a Tritone and exhibits some of the Tritone’s pull; in its case, though, the pull is definitely downward, toward the past, toward what feels safe, toward what we know and trust. It is a compulsion to return.

In a casting, the Minor Seventh can indicate a necessary and beneficial withdrawal from a situation or place; it can just as easily point toward attachment or addiction.
