House 23: Mice House
erosion
The Mice House is where things diminish. Stress, gradual loss, worry, and the slow drain of resources, confidence, or health all operate here. Nothing in this house collapses suddenly — it wears away. A card in this position reveals what is being eroded and how much has already been lost.
This house corresponds to 23. Mice in the deck.
When a Supportive Card Lands Here
Manageable loss. A supportive card here suggests the erosion is minor, the stress is being handled, or what is being lost was not worth keeping. The damage is containable.
When a Difficult Card Lands Here
Compounding drain. A difficult card here warns of chronic stress, resources leaking faster than they can be replenished, or worry that has become self-reinforcing.
