Week 15: Two of Cups

I have decided to pull a weekly card and then meditate on the card through the week and also see how it shows its energy in both my waking life and my dreams.

This card is of special importance this week. The very first reason is that few days ago I put the header picture on my blog, which has this very card in it. I put it there because this is my favourite card when I meditate for attracting love and abundance of support in my life. The second reason this card is important because this card appeared in my draw when I was in my last romantic relationship. It was very fulfilling and intense at very deep levels. Third, if you register on lotustarot.com site, they ask you if you would like to receive email from them which gives you meanings of a card. If you subscribe, you ocassionaly get an email with one card, randomly chosen and its meaning. The card are chosen at random because they hold a special message for you at that time. The card I received this week was, Yes, Two of Cups.

When I mediated on this card, I got forllowing meanings:

Union, Partnership, First meeting, Man making the move, Coming together.
Last night I saw that very man in the dream who I was in relationship with and pulled this card for us. Its strange but worth noting.

Last night again, I saw someone in my dream. This person is someone I don't know but he is usually in my dreams, helping me and supporting me. I remember calling him with names like "honey" and "darling" in the dream. This is when I say my dreams are becoming better than my realities.
The week for 2 of cups has been over today. This week I learnt a lot about adjustments, about seeing a new side of myself, which I have not yet worked completely with but we will try to live in the same body over next few months. I have started to learn basic things about putting the foundation for a life where I have to take responsibilities, make sacrifices, adjust and be kind and polite to others. I think I have taken my very first steps towards setting up a home and a family (just like the house in the background in this card). The task is hard, very hard, its actually making me bend down, but it seems like the universe really wants me to know that relationships require patience and sacrificing.

Practice reading; Ex- contacting again

Question:

The ex- lover was contacting again. Client needed advice.

Reading:

Card 1 represents his action/intention
Card 2 represents what you should do
Card 3 represents the probable outcome

His action/Intention: Emperor:
The very first thing we associate with this card is protecting and defending. Emperor is a proud father who will let you have your way, but he will keep an eye on you. He is authoritative and he emphasises the importance of structure and being organized.
Here this card tells me he is doing this out of curiosity. The one association we make with this card is Aries which is the sign of curiosity, adventure and impulse. I think he contacted you on impulse, just to see if you are ok and then the usual curiosity "what is going on in your life?" .

Action: King of Wands
You are advised to not bother about him. The King in the picture is facing away from us, its like he is too busy in his own thoughts are looking around him and he does not care looking at us. The King is looking outwards, he is just ready to get off his throne and join the group or the fun he thinks he's been missing. This card advices you to ignore him, put your focus on more important things in life which make you happy and satisfied.

Outcome: King of Swords
This king is opposite to the King of Wands. He is staring directly at us, he looks cold, detached and he looks like he is very serious. He holds his sword in a way which reminds us that he is a very just person. This card talks about mental clarity, knowing what you have to do and how to do it. The suit of Swords is the suit of logic, reasoning, intelligence and analytical. You will gain these advantages in future. Simply put, you are better off without him and you will realize this soon enough.

You have one Major and two Kings in your spread which shouts "masculinity" , taking control and having self-esteem. You have to be Strong, mentally and emotionally. Two Kings also represent two well-developed, equal but opposite aspects of your self. Your one self (King of Wands) tells you to be curious in return and see if you can give him another chance , while the other half (King of Swords) glares at you and says firmly "NO" .

The Advice however is to ignore him and listen to the half which is saying NO.

Emperor is Fire, King of Wands is Fire and King of Swords is Air. This simply puts too much action and drive in your spread. Air and Fire mix really well and makes it a positive spread telling you to take a decision with reasoning and letting it go.

I will strongly advice you ignore the emails and if possible block him. Focus on other playful things around. There is lots of stuff going around you which can help you divert your attention.

Feedback:

Client confirmed that the ex- has been telling lies and in her heart she knows he has been. She said she believes it was better for her to leave it alone and move on with life because everytime she tries to heal, this person would show up again. She will not be able to make most of her life if he stays.

Practice reading !

A reading done on another forum:

Question: 

The client got a lucky opportunity to join an agency which was kind of matchmaking one. She wanted to know if love was coming her way.

Deck : Rider-Waite Radiant

Card pulled: Ace of Swords
Base card: 7 of Pentacles


Aces are the beginnings, just like number 1 in numerology, Aces in cartomancy. They are always powerful and they always bring something new in your life. The Ace of Sword is the powerful beginning which comes in a rush, in few moments things will start rushing forward and you will be on a roller coaster. The Ace of swords is also the card of having a powerful mental clarity and analytical understanding. You will understand the root of the matter.

The Base card is what lies at the heart of the situation. 7 of Pentacles is the card where a man is standing, he is not sure whether he wants to move forward with his work , he is sure whether whatever he has done so far is right or wrong. This is a period of waiting and standing and analysing what you have done so far, is your strategy right? Are you happy and satisfied with what you have,

For your answer, I will say yes, there is a definite new chapter of your life turning up, but this one will bring lots of mental clarity with it. This agency you are joining, you will get a chance to analyse what was wrong with your life before (love life precisely) and what you need to do now. A word of warning though, the Aces are powerful but they are short-lived, if you wait too long, the energy will be lost so grasp the moment while you have it. Do not think for too long.

Good luck with your new beginning!
