6 of Cups

Introduction

This is for Tuesday, April 6, 2010.  Still catching up.


My Intuitive Interpretation

The 6 of Cups, for me, is about nostalgia.  It can even go back as far as your childhood.  It's about remembering the past, both the good and the bad.  Sometimes, we may tend to remember our past mistakes as justification that we still aren't where we want to be.  Sometimes, we relive the times we were happy because we aren't at the moment.  No matter which is the case, the 6 of Cups allows you to be nostalgic for a little while, but warns that living in the past can be detrimental to living in the present and moving forward to the future.


What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case:  Begin of steady gain, new relations, new environment
• Crowley:  Pleasure, well being, harmony of natural forces without effort or strain.  Fulfillment of sexual will.
• Douglas:  The past, working through the present, will create the future.
• Gray:  Possibility of clinging too much to the past
• Waite:  Pleasant memories, nostalgia, the future, new knowledge, new environment,

My Interpretation for Today

I had a very pleasant day on this day, and I was thinking a lot about the past, although not the far past.  I spent a great deal of time with Greg and I was remembering the time when we met, how we became friends, and how I much I miss seeing him on an almost daily basis.  I also went to see a client and I was remembering how much I really love what I do, as I feel challenged and satisfied.  But I was also confronted with what is really past and that is how it used to be with my former employer.  He is asking me to work for him again and I'm finding that a bit difficult.  In the "good ol' days" as the 6 of Cups reminds me, things were very good, but I became disheartened when everything went to hell.  I realize that I need to distance myself from what has gone before and start anew or I will never get past this.  There will have to be some new rules, of course, but I've been having such a difficult time with it.  I will have to get past the past, or I won't be able to continue...and at this juncture, I don't have many other choices.

Page of Cups

Introduction

This card is for Saturday, April 3, 2010.  Still catching up...


My Intuitive Interpretation

Pages are generally messengers and the Page of Cups is a messenger of an emotional nature.  This could signify the start of a new love (or another message regarding love).  Could be messages from your own intuition.


What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case:  Fair, studious youth, reflection, news
• Golden Dawn:  Sweetness, poetry, gentleness, imagination, dreamy.
• Thierens:  Friendly message, good news, proposal of marriage or love affair, possibility that someone will try to seduce the querent.
• Waite:  News, messages, application, reflection, meditation, taste, inclination, attachment, seduction.
• Suggested:  The coming of or message of intuition.

My Interpretation for Today

I met someone new on Friday and perhaps this card showed up today as a message to give him a chance.  He was, indeed, charming and handsome.  I don't know that we have very much in common, though.  Sometimes commonality isn't always evident upon first meeting.  I have decided to see him again and he does seem to want to.  So I'll take the advice of the card...

5 of Cups

Introduction

This is for Tuesday, March 30, 2010.  Still catching up...
It should be noted that I pulled two cards:  8 of Cups and 7 of Swords, both recently drawn.


My Intuitive Interpretation

For me, the 5 of Cups is about mourning a lost opportunity or situation.  But if you look at the picture on the card, not all of the cups are spilled, so no matter what you're missing, there is still something to be thankful for:  perhaps the lesson learned or the opportunity for something new and better for you to come into your life.


What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case:  Loss in pleasure, partial loss, vain regret
• Golden Dawn:  Disappointment in love, unkindness from friends (deserved or not), loss of friendship
• Grimaud:  Lack of harmony, indefinite plan which comes to nothing.
• Kahn:  A soulmate; short but lingering love affair; letting go of a person, lifestyle or job
• Waite:  Card of loss but with something remaining
• Suggested:  The element of uncertainty in intuition.  Do you see what you think you see?  Limitation but with an element of hope.

Psychic Revelation
5 of Cups


My Interpretation for Today

While I don't remember feeling this way on this day in particular, this has been a familiar feeling in my life lately.  It seems no matter what I do, things don't turn out the way I want them, even if I'm sure they do turn out the way they're supposed to.  I do try to keep reminding myself that the lessons I learn are very valuable.  I also try to remember that I shouldn't give up, either.

Ace of Cups

My Intuitive Interpretation

The Ace of Cups is about new beginnings, particularly in the area of love and relationships.   It could mean something new, or something starting anew in a current relationship.  For me, it's always been about hope.


What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case:  Fertility, productiveness, beauty, pleasure
• Gray:  The coming of transcendent love, joy, contentment
• Papus:  Commencement of a love affair
• Waite:  House of the true joy, content, abundance
• Suggested:  A card of potential

Psychic Revelation

My Interpretation for Today

The area of love and relationships has been an area taking up a lot of my spare time the past year or so since I decided to start dating again. I was shuffling to pull my card for today and chatting with a friend online, telling her I was going to do a Tarot reading for myself  later, because I feel I should just give up.  It's not like I don't have any number of admirers, more or less worldwide. What has been illusive for me has been integrating it all into just one man who lives reasonably close to me...I mean, the same continent would be nice.  It's not like I have lots of "requirements" but that would probably be one of them.  LOL  I've been trying to meet a guy I've been talking to for about a month (mentioned the other day) and while we're having trouble with scheduling, I keep thinking that I shouldn't really bother, since I already have a feeling that he will be the same as the ones I already have.  And then I pull the Ace of Cups.  The cards keep telling me that I really do need to keep at it...not to give up...to wait for the something new.  It could be this one, or could very well be another one (he lives on my continent, too!) who's been chatting with me off and on for several months.  Or maybe it could be one I've yet to even know...but whatever is coming, the Ace of Cups is telling me it's not time to give up just yet.

8 of Cups

My Intuitive Interpretation

For me, the 8 of Cups is about longing for things that will never be.  It's about leaving things behind.  I find it interesting that the moon shows up in this card as well.  (The Moon showed up yesterday.)  It should be noted that I pulled this card at the end of the day, whereas I've been pulling them at the beginning of the day.  The circumstances of what happened just a short while ago leave me feeling very much like the 8 of Cups.


What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case:  Abandoned success, instability
• Grimaud:  Disappointment without success
• Kahn:  Pleasures for the moment
• Waite:  The decline of a matter or the revealing of a previously thought to be important matter as unimportant or trivial

Psychic Revelation
8 of Cups


My Interpretation for Today

I have had two phone conversations with the King of Pentacles now.  We had an online chat just a little while ago and he was saying how he's "not sure where this is going".  Well, we haven't met yet, so in my mind, it's going nowhere.  He said he's not sure what kind of vibe we have.  Well, in my mind, whatever vibe we might have now may completely change when we actually do meet.  He says he's not sure that we're on the same page.  Well, in my mind, we're probably not even in the same book!  I asked him to tell me an interesting story and he asked that I go first.  I told him how I ended up in NYC.  He said he didn't have a story nearly that interesting and I'm thinking that if you don't have even one interesting story in 47 years...  He says he still wants to meet, but all of that stuff, in my mind, was him trying to get out of it.   I have pretty good intuition on these things.  I am rejected again.  In truth, I no longer want to meet him.  We aren't going anywhere. the vibe has changed and we're in completely different books.  And I am left with a longing of things that will never be.

3 of Cups

My Intuitive Interpretation

The 3 of Cups, for me, is always a card of celebration. It is sometimes referred to as the card of "Engagement". Can also mean fertility, though in my case, I doubt it means in the physical sense. It is, in general, a card of abundance, of plenty, of good things to come.

What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case:  Pleasure, liberality, fulfillment, happy issue
• Crowley:  Abundance, Fulfillment of the Will of Love in abounding joy, The spiritual basis of fertility
• Douglas: Abundance, maternity, comfort, healing, unbridled passion, self-indulgence, sex without love
• Papus:  Realization of the commencement of love. The love is mutual
• Waite: Conclusion of a matter in plenty, happy issue, etc. Excess of physical enjoyment and sensuality. Consolation, cure
• Suggested:  Child of intuition. That which is created (as opposed to the act of creation) or that which is felt strongly without rational support.

Psychic Revelation

My Interpretation for Today

Hmmm...better safe than sorry.  I'm a bit afraid of that fertility thing.  LOL  Seriously though, I need something to celebrate these days.  Probably I need something new...in quite a few areas of my life.  New job, new love.  Maybe it's time to find a new hobby, too...something to bring me joy.  I do find that I'm highly emotional these days...an aspect of the cups, for sure.  Let's see what the next few days will bring.

  

The image above is not from a deck (that I know of), but I liked it as a representation of the Three of Cups.  I hope the artist does not mind my using it.  It can be found and ordered at this site:

10 of Cups

Introduction

I must note that this is only my fourth day of this and already I've drawn a duplicate card. I initially shuffled the cards and spread them out as I did for the other days and I drew the 8 of Pentacles, which was Tuesday's card. In my world, I am still on Thursday and not Friday when this will post, so this was only two days ago. I believe this is significant as it reminds me what is important right now, which is working. However, I have been fairly distracted the past few months with what the 10 of Cups is talking about...

My Intuitive Interpretation

The 10 of Cups is the ultimate pennacle of emotional happiness and maturity. With it, the fruition of love has come about. The happy little family of the card sees nothing but a rainbow, flowers and blue skies as they are on their way to their castle for their "happily ever after". I do think this is what I desire now and finding someone special has been purvading my thoughts lately, as I've had plenty of time to think about it.

What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case: Lasting success; happiness to come
• Golden Dawn: Matters definitely arranged and settled in accordance with one's wishes
• Gray: Contentment, friendship, trust
• Grimaud: Burning need for evolution, spiritual progress, transition, passage from life to death
• Huson: Home life or homeland
• Kahn: The city, envious people, material well being. miraculous event, meeting of a former friend from the distant past, the unusual, the unexpected
• Papus: Uncertainty in the management of a love affair
• Thierens: Well-earned security
• Waite: Contentment, respose of the entire heart, perfection of human love and friendship

Psychic Revelation

10 of Cups

My Interpretation for Today

I do know that I have been considering the possibilities of the 10 of Cups since I realized, right about a year ago, that I could actually have such a possibility. While it is a desire I have been focusing on, I feel I am very far away from it at this time, particularly in light of yesterday's card. I am still hopeful, even as I start over. But right now, as the 8 of Pentacles is screaming at me...I need to focus on work and money. Last night, I do believe I got an idea on how to do that.

7 of Cups

My Intuitive Interpretation

The 7 of Cups, to me, reveals many different offerings to choose from on an emotional level. Knowing which one or ones to choose is not always easy, but all of them should be considered before making any kind of decisions. Some of the offerings may seem scary and be rejected because of this, but life is about taking risks and sometimes the things that seem most scary to us are the ones that we should choose.

What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case: Illustionary success, ideas, designs, resolutions
• Douglas: Exceptional promise or mystical experience, self delusion
• Golden Dawn: Lying, deceit, promises unfulfilled
• Thierens: Imagination, fantasy, reflections
• Waite: Vision, some attainment but nothing permanent, desire, will, determination
• Suggested: Intuition at its most developed level. Possible enlightenment. A very good, if solemn, card.

  

Psychic Revelation

7 of Cups

My Interpretation for Today

I have a lot going on in my life and I probably need to focus on one thing at a time (difficult for me) and get things done. Deciding what is important now is also hard for me. There are some things that I put off because they are difficult and some things I focus on because they are desires. This card tells me to look at all my options, evaluate all my choices and look for what is best for me today.
