Upright
spark, new venture, raw energy
A new drive arrives with heat behind it. An idea, an offer, an urge to start. Nothing is built yet — this is the ignition, and it wants acting on before it cools.
Reversed
false start, blocked energy, delay
The spark is there and is not catching. Either the timing is wrong or the enthusiasm has nowhere to go yet.
