Interpretations are always pretty open! In example, the Death tarot doesn't necessarily represent dying, but marks the end of a cycle - which is also the beginning. It does mean death, but it also means rebirth, and so life, new beginnings, etc.
There's at least descriptions, icons, whatever you like to call it for six runes, in Hifarae.

Not to mention the way the cards/runes are dealt change the meanings all the time. Lots of fun things to do with it.
Aison did the tarot readings. I was the one doing the Astrology readings.
(Yes, I'm sad everyone thinks Aison did the astrology stuff, when I was the one helping her prepare the tarot readings.

Though I'm still not sure on Sigil with auric draining... for a good or a bad reading, what does auric draining even mean? Suppose I could say people are letting the defenses down and allowing themselves to be more open to others.

Well, draw on some points from runic lore - it's shaped like a lightning bolt, so energy, strength, power. Particularly, inner will, spiritual strength. Other points are sun, warmth, heat, cosmic fire (as a counter-point to Isa, cosmic ice), the transformation from cold to hot, frozen to liquid, the driving force from the cold 'death' of winter to the warm 'life' of spring. From that you can draw success, cleansing flames, victory, power, inspiration, etc.
I'm sure you can draw on some or all of that to make your argument and define it.
When it lies in opposition (note that it can't be reversed), you'll have that spiritual fire in a bad way - wrath-of-god level of spiritual failure, misdirection, mislead or poor goals, gullibility, without a guiding flame, absence of success, absence of purpose.
Edit: Not to say that it couldn't be different ICly, I'm just not familiar with runelore and the like in Lusternia, only passingly familiar with it OOC. I suspect though you could draw a fair amount from it and make a good enough argument!

The only reason I care when people kill guards is because there is less to influence. Wonder if that makes me a bad person?
I don't think anyone expects you to care about guards in a video game
