Six of Cups

Six_of_CupsIntroduction: The 6 of Cups is often a card about nostalgia; looking back on how things “used” to be. It can be (but is not always) connected with children or childhood.

General: It’s important not to spend too much time and effort thinking about the “good old days.” We all have happy memories to reflect on from time to time, but if we start thinking that the “best of all years have gone by”, then that can become a self fulfilling prophecy.

Work: This is an excellent time for work that involves some level of creativity. If your work does not, make a point to spend a little time drawing, painting, or writing, scrapbooking – whatever you fancy that allows a little creativity – in your personal time. Your day job will go better for you as a result.

Love: If you’re currently in a romantic relationship, this card can indicate that a relationship may need to be “refocused” toward the future. Talk about your goals and dreams. Try new things. It’s important now not to be stuck in the past. On occasion this card will signify the re-appearance of an old lover in your life. Think long and hard before re-starting an old romance. Exes are usually “exes” for a reason.

Finances: If you’re looking for ways to invest money, or to make a little extra money, pay particular attention to things that are retro or nostalgic, or things that appeal to children. Money may come to you from someone from your past or through inheritance (this of course does not mean that someone close to you is necessarily going to pass).

Health: If you’re experiencing health problems, the appearance of this card can mean that you need to truly go back to childhood to examine where the roots of your physical problems might lie. (Hint: the emotional is very often tied to the physical.) Talk therapy may be very useful. You may want to make a point to talk to family members about the physical problems that they have faced, and make sure that you have a clear idea of your family’s medical history.

Spirituality: Ritual of any kind can be helpful to you spiritually now. You may find beauty and meaning in re-creating some of the spiritual rituals that you knew as a child; this does not mean that you must go back to your earliest spiritual traditions and follow them exactly, updating and re-inventing your old traditions will serve you very well at this time.

Five of Cups

Five_of_CupsIntroduction: The 5 of Cups is another card which reminds us that where we put our focus in life has a great deal to do with the quality of our lives and how well they work for us. What are you going to choose to focus on?

General: In most tarot decks, most depictions on each card give solid guides toward interpretation, for this card, this is more than usually the case. Most often, a sad or downcast figure is shown, with five cups. Three are spilled, and two remain upright and whole. The implication is extremely clear; are you going to cry over “spilt milk” or are you going to focus on the “milk” you still have, and get on with things? The point is: watch where you put your focus and make sure that the focus is for your highest good.

Work: If you are trying to find work when this card comes up, try not to get too worked up if there are delays. Things with applications, resumes, and such, will likely be moving slowly. Be pro-active but not pushy. When this card appears (and the question is about work…) it can be a signifier that you are actually in the wrong job. Consider what you would like to be doing. Take steps toward making it happen.

Love: A love relationship you are in may have just ended or may be about to start the process of ending. You must realize that “all is not lost.” You are probably not yet ready to move into a new relationship. Give yourself some time and space…then get back out there. There will come a day when you realize that the reason this relationship ended was to get you to the place you “really want to be,” which is in a relationship that really works for you, and works well.

Finances: Worrying too much about money can actually have the opposite effect of what you are trying to “make happen” and that’s having a better flow of financial prosperity – that is, a flow in your favor. The way to get a handle on this worry is actually to be generous. You’re probably not as “bad off” as you think. Give something away, or make a small donation to a cause that you believe in.

Health: It’s critical that you keep a positive attitude. If you just “can’t get over” what someone “did to you” or what happened in your past, now is the time to get help in resolving these issues, before you cause yourself serious damage/pain by dwelling on your past. The past is gone. Focus on the present, and the future.

Spirituality: It’s important now to give some thought to forgiveness. You don’t forgive others for THEIR sake, or because they “deserve it,” necessarily, you do it for your own sake, because holding on to anger and pain is toxic and bad for you. Not only that, while you’re busy being angry and full of pain, the person you’re angry with, is often somewhere having a good time! So, now is the time to let go.

Four of Cups

Four_of_CupsIntroduction: The 4 of Cups is a card about wishful thinking. It warns us to remember to pay attention to what “is” now, and the many blessings we each currently experience, and not to worry too much about “what could be.” It is all too easy to overlook what we already have in the pursuit of what we don’t have.

General: Be sure that you are “counting your blessings.” Don’t spend too much time in self-pity or wishing your life away. A lot of life has to do with where we put our focus. Put your focus on the things and people in your life that you have to be thankful for. Consider a gratitude journal.

Work: You may not like your job very much, but at least it keeps food on the table. In today’s modern throwaway age job security is a thing of the past. NO job is 100% secure as many have found out to their cost. Be thankful that you are not one of them. Remember that it is rare for any of us to ever be truly completely trapped.

Love: Look hard at yourself as to whether you are being realistic with regards to love. Do you have your heart set to the exclusion of everyone else? On someone who isn’t giving you very much back or who is quite literally unavailable?

Finances: Focus on your strengths, on what you do have and can do, not what you can’t do and don’t have. If you’re not where you want to be financially, make specific goals and plans about where that “is,” and then chart the steps it will take you to get there. Look your financial situation squarely in the eye (know exactly where you “are” financially) as this can only help you.

Health: Focus on the positive. If you are having physical problems, remember that things do not always have to be the way they are right now, health wise. Pay attention to diet, exercise, and making time to rest/eat healthfully. You may need to reach out to a trusted counselor or friend to get help in “moving beyond” where you are healthwise at the moment.

Spirituality: Wishful thinking can take it’s toll on the spiritual aspect of life, as when we are caught up in “poor me” thinking or “I wish things were different,” it tends to blind us to the beauty of what IS in our lives, right now. Stay constant and grounded in the present moment. If you can’t keep a “gratitude journal” and write down things you feel grateful for every day, at least make a list of twenty people/situations/things in your life that you are grateful for now. Thinking along these lines can elevate your “spiritual mindset” immensely, and quickly.

Three of Cups

Three_of_CupsIntroduction: The 3 of Cups is often considered to be a card of “reunions.” But this is not always a romantic reunion, alas… it’s reunion in the broadest sense, running back into (or meeting with, purposefully) someone or something that you have been away from for some time. It’s generally considered to be a happy reunion, an upbeat card.

General: In general, things should be going well. You can look forward to at least one pleasant reunion with someone or something that you have been apart from for some time. It also can mean celebration – your own or someone that you care about – such as the celebration around a new baby, wedding, or other happy occasion.

Work: The 3 of Cups is also a good omen with regard to work. Money should be coming in, you could be coming into a new job and/or a promotion. The mood in general in your working world should be relatively pleasant. If you are looking for work, you should be quite successful (perhaps surprisingly so) at how well things work out for you. So don’t give up.

Love: Although this card can mean a reunion with a lost love; it does not always indicate that. You must look carefully at the rest of the reading in context, to decide whether that interpretation fits. If you are single, the most likely interpretation is that you will meet a likely love soon – someone who really “fits the bill” of the person you are looking for, and that this person will be a new love, not someone you “used” to be with.

Finances: This is an important time to not be too attached to money. It will be flowing in fine; but may be going out just as fast or nearly as fast. It’s important to know that this is an abundant universe, that your needs (financial and otherwise) will be met, provided you play your part.

Health: This is a great time to consider what you are doing – and perhaps should be doing – to increase your health and vitality. Do you need more exercise? More rest? Think it through, and come up with a game plan. You can do better – if even only slightly – than what you are doing right now.

Spirituality: It may be important now, particularly if you usually attend to your spiritual side in solitude, to reach out to others. This can lead to a spiritual awakening. Think about whether or not you have need of a “spiritual teacher” (in the flesh) and if you do, seek one out! This can be any sort of trusted counselor, not even necessarily someone who identifies as a “spiritual leader.”

Two of Cups

Two_of_CupsIntroduction: The 2 of Cups often refers to romantic partnership, but that is not its only connotation. It can speak of balance, friendship, joy, and sharing.

General: In general this is a card that says that things are likely to be going well. You should be feeling more than usually loved, cared for, and content.

Work: This shows that you are likely to be appreciated in your workplace and should be feeling comfortable there, at least to a large degree even if you don’t particularly like your job. If looking for employment, this can mean that you are going to find it very soon.

Love: This card represents true love, balanced partnership, commitment, and all of the things that most of us hope for in regard to love and relationship. However, this does not mean that you can just do or say “whatever” and that your love/relationship will last; it only means that the underpinnings, the real, solid, potential for true love and affection is there. If you are “looking for love,” this is a signal that it is very likely to be headed your way very soon. Relax.

Finances: In relation to finance, the 2 of Cups indicates balance and fairness. You may not be “rolling in money” but at least for the moment and the near future, you should be finding that, at bare minimum, you have more than enough money to “meet your obligations,” which is a start.

Health: If you are facing particular health problems, this can indicate a need for you to find a partnership with a healer that you trust and that you can “work well” together with. This is also a fairly good omen when it comes to health – you are also likely to be keeping a positive attitude which is very important (and supportive) of good health.

Spirituality: You are likely to be feeling “at one” with the energies of the universe and with yourself. This is one of the cards that represents the heart chakra and its’ opening. You should be feeling more than usually loving toward everyone and everything. Share that good energy, the world needs more of it!

Ace of Cups

Ace_of_CupsIntroduction: The Ace of Cups is a very powerful, positive omen relating to love, happiness, and affection. Like all the aces though, it is about new beginnings and although it usually means love it can indicate new beginnings in other areas of life.

General: Things are looking up! In general, people will respond to you with happiness, love, and goodwill, more than usually in the near future. You should be feeling good about life in general. This is a great time to make friends.

Work: This can signify a promotion and/or new, good job headed your way. If you are already employed you should know that both you and your work are appreciated and valued – and you should see signs of this soon. If you are unemployed (or looking for a new job) then you need to keep looking for new opportunities. They are out there – all you have to do is find them.

Love: Again, this is an excellent omen regarding love; either an existing relationship is going to take a turn for the better. Indeed for an existing relationship this could be a deeper level of understanding, or commitment, or almost any important aspect of a relationship. It will feel almost like a new and encouraging start. If you are as yet uncommitted, a new relationship is likely to appear soon.

Finances: This augurs good possibility for money, in the context of “something new.” It could mean that you will find a new job if you are looking for work, or some extra work on the side that you could do if you are already working, or even that you will be given a gift of some money to help you out. Definitely, again, good news.

Health: Your health is likely to take a turn for the better; you should be feeling healthy and full of energy.

Spirituality: The Ace of Cups shows a need for you to “give back” some of the love that you have been given in life/that you are experiencing. This is also a connection to the divine….on a spiritual level, meditate on the idea that you are a beloved child of the universe, and feel the support that comes to you “from the other side,” as it is always there, all you have to do is look for it.
