A.M. has requested an interpretation of the above cards that were drawn according to the protocol of silently completing the sentence, “Please give me some insight into __________.” A.M. has not told me what (s)he has put into the blank space. The first three cards are the “heart” of the reading and are read as a unit. Then, the fourth card is drawn and read as a summary or clarifier. If we include the summary card, there are two cups, two fours (queen=13=1+3=4), two ones Sun=19=1+9=10=1), and one member of the Major Arcana in this mini-reading, so we know that this request for insight focuses on A.M.’s leading, controlling, and directing the building of a new foundation of feelings, emotions, relationships, and psychic abilities. Because there is just one member of the Major Arcana, the context for these insights is mostly A.M.’s everyday life with a slight connection to her/his soul’s agenda for this lifetime. There are no other two-of-a-kind or more in suits or numbers.
The spotlight has been on the ten of cups, the need for discernment as to with whom you will share. Whom will you include in your “inner circle”? Who deserves to be part of the intimate group and share in the blessings and benefits? Don’t just throw away what you have to offer; make sure there is respect and trust among the members of this “family”. There is a message here to work in a fair exchange for your services and not under-value what you have to offer as well.
The spotlight is now on the Sun, a whole brand new beginning. It is the perfect partner to the first card on the path of your soul’s growth and development. You enter this next phase of your life’s journey, open and vulnerable, having been “around the block” a few times and retaining the wisdom and discernment gained from the earlier cycles. The sun shines on you, and you know your own value and worth. Welcome to your future, A.M.
The spotlight is moving toward the four of cups, ignoring or being unaware of an opportunity that is being offered to establish a new foundation. Sitting with your eyes downcast and your arms crossed over your heart so that you don’t get hurt again, you make zero progress. Please lift your eyes, raise your vibration, take the cup, and drink deeply. If somewhere down the road, you change your mind and want something else, by all means, go for it. Doing nothing is not an enlightened choice. Good luck, A.M.
The summary card is the Queen of Swords, the Butterfly Queen. This is a card of transformation, marking the end of your existence as a caterpillar. Being in the cocoon is/was crazy-making, but this card appears when the process is more than half over. The sun will come out, the cocoon will open, and you will emerge a butterfly. Do you see how all the parts of this reading reinforce each other? This is quite the statement of encouragement. Good luck, A.M.
Does this make sense? I hope it was helpful.
