Six of
Cups/The Emperor. The Six of Cups (Sun, the inner core of a person or situation in Scorpio,
“I desire,” intense, compulsive, deep, obsessive) is a card of innocence, emotional
balance and harmony, of simple joy that begets even more simple joy by
infecting all that is around us at this moment. This card is about friendship and play, teamwork, and
drawing strength from shared experiences.
Staying focused on the present is often a good thing, but sometimes
looking back at pleasures of the past will inspire us to strive for a repeat. The Emperor has been showing up a lot lately. The Emperor corresponds with Fire
(hot/separates and dry/shapes, and spontaneous, impulsive, energetic change),
Aries (“I want,” action oriented, assertive, competitive) and the Hebrew letter
Heh (window, illumination), and in an upright position represents confidence,
authority, and the archetype of the Father. The Emperor instills balance, form and structure onto the
fertility and creations of The Empress, and those things are important today. The Emperor says that the best way to
make the day have a happy ending is to follow the rules, get things done on
time, and encourage others to do the same. Both of these cards encourage me to share happiness, just in
different ways.
My
Thoth cards are the Two of Cups (“Love”) and The Moon reversed. The Two of Cups (Venus,
beauty, allure, relationships, in Cancer, “I feel,” sensitive, family and home
oriented, tenacious, moody) tells of love and connections, usually having to do
with feelings, relationships and commonalities, and a recognition or
acknowledgement that a bond is beginning to happen, or is beginning to be
restored after forgiveness is offered and received. This card is similar to the
Six of Cups above, except that its energies usually focus on one other person,
rather than the group hinted at by the Six of Cups. The Moon of the Tarot Major Arcana corresponds with Water
(cold/binds and wet/adapts, emotional and sensitive energy that strives to stay
the same), Pisces (“I believe,” feeling, suffering, soul growth, duality), Qof
(the back of the head), and the Path between Malkuth (the physical world of
action and physical, outer reality) and Netzach (the stimulating factors of
emotion and inspiration), is about feelings and emotions and instincts and the
subconscious. This card tells of
falsehood and illusion and the Dark Night of Soul, and about magick and mystery.
The Moon also tells of being either drawn to or susceptible to the effects of
these things, and since my card is reversed, I will need to be cautious. Is all that love hinted at by the Two
of Cups the real thing? Or is it
just an illusion?
My
Legacy card is the Five of Coins reversed, flavored by the King of Cups. The Five of Coins (Mercury, reason,
intelligence, education, skill, communication, in Taurus, “I have,” sensual,
cautious, stubborn) in an upright position tells of some loss or need within
the physical world. Sometimes this
card can indicate an inability to balance personal issues with professional
issues; whatever the issue, the upright card presents the hidden reminder that
there may be light in unlooked-for places, and those physical-world losses just
might not be bad at all. My
reversed Five of Coins is beign flavored by the King of Cups. The King of Cups (cusp of Libra, “We are,”
partnerships, balance, cooperation, and Scorpio, “I desire,” intense,
controlling mysterious, obsessive) is the expert on emotions and the
subconscious, mainly because of his life experiences. He is able to be calm, caring and diplomatic, and still get
things done by getting others working together in a productive way. Another good Cups card, and my King
will even make that reversed Moon card a non-issue. He will show me how to turn physical world discomforts into
opportunities for emotional evolution.
My
horoscopes: “Who's in charge? You like to be the independent one most
of the time, Sagittarius, but with the Moon in your grounded second house
playing nicely with courageous Mars today, you will want to make the rules.
Now's the time to start a budget you'll actually stick to, tweak your daily
habits for the better or apply for a job that can make you some more cash. You
want to work until you feel settled and secure—then you can relax and flit the
hours away.”
And: “Today
may be a tough one for you. It might seem like nothing is fitting into place.
Could it be that you are trying to be someone that you are not? If things don't
seem to be working out, don't press the issue. You are better off waiting for a
time in which you feel more confident about who you are and where you are
going. Meanwhile, pour yourself a cup of tea and relax. Releasing stress can
clear up a great deal of energy for use in other things.”
