Last card pull of the year 2021. And it is pretty good!
The True Black VI of Cups shows six Cups filled with golden candies, with a white origami flower above them all. A partially folded paper and two unfolded papers float nearby. The keywords for this card are innocence, carefree, charity, and sweetness.
The True Black Ace of Cups is a beautiful card. A Cup spills clear water onto the golden poppies growing beneath it. Above the cup, a white dove wearing a golden crown spreads its wings. If we look closely at the dove's chest, we see a scar. The keywords for this card are love, empathy, bonding, and abundance.
Both of these cards emanate pure and innocent love. The VI of Cups reminds us of the innocent times and simple pleasures of childhood, of releasing responsibilities and sharing the fun. The candy is sweet and fun to eat, but we do need to remember that the candy alone does not provide nourishment. Also, a few candies have fallen out of the Cups, reminding us not to waste the abundance that is surrounding us now. The Ace of Cups tells of the approach of attraction, love and connectedness. The poppies represent dreams and remind us that if we care for our dreams, they will manifest. The white dove with the golden crown is a messenger of importance, bringing peace and love. The scar on the dove's chest reminds us that love always gives, even if the giving is difficult to accomplish.
These two cards are truly a great way to move from 2021 to 2022. Focusing on a child-like enjoyment of life (while still remembering to nourish myself with more than candy) is a great way to begin a new year. The possibilities of that Ace are wonderful, too. As an avid gardener, I know the value of tending my blossoms. Embracing peace and love with gratitude will attract good things.
Since we have an Ace in our card throw today, let's talk about the Aces and Elemental Dignities. The Aces are the exception to the rules we are talking about, as they are the potential of each element or the root or source of the power of each element, and not the element itself. Aces contain the components that are required to make or form anything, the same way that the ingredients of a recipe are needed to create the meal (but the ingredients themselves are not the meal, and require action in order to manifest). The Ace of Cups is the idea of the suit, and it must be acted upon in order to be felt or experienced or its potential will be lost. Friends or enemies, active or passive all apply, but we need to remember that usually the Aces are not affected by the influence of other elements that might be around them.
Happy New Year!! See you next year.
