Fruit
Fruit represents the fruits of your labor — rewards, abundance, and the natural outcome of effort. Ripe fruit suggests readiness and the right time to harvest your efforts. Rotten fruit indicates missed timing or wasted potential. Forbidden fruit connects to the Eden archetype and temptation. The specific fruit adds meaning: apples for knowledge, grapes for abundance, cherries for pleasure.
