Emotions are at the forefront of this week’s reading: all Cups, all receptacles for whatever we choose to put into them (and what we choose to put into the relationships that we have with ourselves and those around us).
I have used the word ‘receptacle’ with some deliberation, because this is about receptivity rather than action. Or, rather, that receptivity — receiving — comes first, and action second. By receiving I mean either something from your environment or, more likely, something from your intuition. This is not a time to react as much as it is to feel deeply into what your body and heart are telling you, and then to move outward from that feeling, keeping in contact with it, letting it guide you.
Anyone who comes to this reading might be forgiven for falling into a state of ‘Cups overwhelm’ looking at the three cards. What to make of them? What are the different strands of the narrative that they are weaving? Is it an everything-all-at-once reading where you have little space in which to step back? Or is it that you simply need to give yourself the space to see what it is that they are telling you?
I think these questions are not just about the cards, but also the situation that the cards reflect — namely, do you value yourself enough to know and act with the understanding that things need not be rushed by the fear that you are going to miss out on the main chance?
