The Past
Queen of Cups
The Queen of Cups indicates harmony with your emotional and intuitive realm. Relying on inner guidance, one's perspective is well-suited to respond to external influences from a flowing inner perspective that is thick and rich. Take charge in matters regarding your inner life. Your emotions draw upon the wisdom of the ages. Imagination. Creative. Loving. Supportive.
Odds are you are very impressionable at this time. In the positive this indicates a strong feeling-sense, and ability to be sensitively and effectively responsive. As still waters run deep, there are hidden depths not readily apparent.
The Queen of Cups indicates naturally charismatic leadership, an ability to express your emotions confidently at this time.
* A manner of reading a reversal is to emphasise rather than a reversed meaning, an internal meaning relating more to one's inner self than indicating the outer world. Read the card with your inner context, what it says to you about your inner person.
The Present
Ten of Cups
The 10 of Cups indicates joyfully reflecting on one's family and home. Great happiness, contentment, peace, and love are indicated. Count your blessings, for if there is trouble in your family or home, this joy can be realised if you work toward that goal together. The strength of family weathers any storm, the strength of a healthy family inside and out shines such that all benefit. Express your joy with a surprise hidden in plain sight, a token sent in an altogether different way. Odds are it's already there. Courier a gift certificate for a massage to your honey to arrive while you're out to eat together. Advise to use a professional in that case, massage AND courier.
Get creative. Odds are you have a flow that is priceless right now. Share it. If you're single and far from family, treat the family of your experiences with the same powerful and grand love you would for someone special that you love. Family is forever as you are forever in it. As many a wise 14 year old sage has said, “we're all immortal until we die.” Wondrously and wonderfully step up to explore that in a love of your experiences.
The Future
IX – The Hermit
The Hermit indicates inner activity and the clarity you see in the mysteries and seeming lack of form in darkness, indicates walking the cloister of your mind. You may be acutely aware of cycles of experience completed at this time. Identify them clearly and meditate on them from within. Be inwardly active. Others may not see what you see or feel what you feel. The Hermit is not stationary. Do not maintain or hold static perspectives. Now is a poignant time to sense YOUR perspective, and believe what you feel.
