Tarot Card Lady

Tarot Card Lady has picked a card for Thursday, October 29, 2009. The card for the day is the Princess of Cups. It's really hard to watch a relationship move in a direction that we hadn't anticipated. So often we try to maneuver and manipulate to avoid the pain it causes. Well, not today. Today is a good day to allow the natural flow of all your relationships to proceed unimpeded by your own desires.

PRINCESS OF CUPS

If “love is blind” then the Princess of Cups grants you eyesight. She represents the ability to detach from relationship in order to make the best and healthiest decisions for yourself. She is the “tough love” master. This kind of inner boldness comes to you as the result of knowing yourself well and honoring your needs in relationship. It grows out of a larger trust and awareness of the Big Love - the Love that is always available to you, even when specific individuals are not. You do not have to settle for a relationship or for actions in a relationship that do not suit you. The Princess allows you to assess your relationships and heal dysfunctional ones by asking for what you need, establishing boundaries and moving on if things do not work out. If you draw the Princess of Cups, this energy is available to you now.

Tarot Card Lady has picked a card for Wednesday, October 28, 2009. The card for the day is the Ace of Wands. Rebirth! Renewal! Transformation! It's time to contemplate your new form that is taking shape. This year's Halloween costume idea, perhaps?

THE ACE OF WANDS

As with all of the Minor Arcana suits – Aces represent new beginnings. In the case of the Ace of Wands, this is most literal, because it represents a rebirth for the person drawing the card. With the Ace of Wands energy present, you can expect a renewal of optimism, abundant energy and a new perspective guiding your way. I want to say that the Ace of Wands is most primal of all the Aces. It comes first and provides the fuel for all the other Aces. Although it comes first, it cannot stand alone. The energy of the Ace of Wands needs a form to take hold - an idea to focus it (Ace of Swords), an action to ground it (Ace of Disks), an emotion to connect it (Ace of Cups). Without one or more of these, the Ace of Wands soon burns out, leaving nothing behind.

If you draw the Ace of Wands don’t be surprised if you are feeling as if you have stepped into a new world, like Dorothy entering the Land of Oz. What used to feel familiar, may no longer be so. You may feel washed clean and raring to go. Expect to have a lot of enthusiasm and optimism – traits of the Wands suit. But, be careful to pace yourself. Avoid burning the candle at both ends – because you will want to. If you do, you run the risk of burning out.
