C.S. 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 __________.” C.S. 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 in this mini-reading, so we know that this request for insight focuses on C.S.’s feelings, emotions, relationships, and psychic abilities. Because there is just one member of the Major Arcana, the context for these insights is C.S.’s everyday life rather than 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 six of cups. Love is all around you. It’s time to take off the gloves and be open to receiving the love that is being offered so that you can grow and thrive. You have put a barrier and/or filter in place by wearing the gloves, and it is time to be open-handed in both your giving and receiving, Love is available and around you; it may even lie outside the traditional and/or politically correct boundaries. Allow yourself to fully participate in this energy flow that is clearly directed toward you.
The spotlight is now on the Ace of Pentacles, a triumph of integrity. Aligning with the best and highest allows you to “walk your talk” and serve as an inspiration to others if they choose to look up. This is the only ace in the deck that has no automatic blessings falling on others. This card appears to emphasize free will and choice. You triumph when you align your vibration with the best and highest. Truly, your investment of time and energy has paid off as you embody this alignment.
The spotlight is moving toward the Emperor, the gift of wisdom. Remember that wisdom is sometimes defined as intelligence + compassion. People are drawn to you because of this gift, a combination of intelligence and compassion, and you have learned to utilize it so that the truth can shine through on its own. This is the wisdom of the Biblical King Solomon, who when confronted by two women, each claiming to be the mother of a particular infant, declared,” Cut the child in half.” The true mother instantly gave up her claim so that the infant could live. This, in turn, resulted in everyone’s being able to see that she was, indeed, the real mother. The truth spoke for itself. Like Solomon, sometimes you need to say or do something outrageous so that the truth can reveal itself. You remain in power by not taking sides, by not reducing the exploration for the truth to simple yes/no questions.
The summary card is the seven of cups, the wish card. You have come to a place in your life, C.S., where you have earned the right to have what you want. The only drawback to this position is that now you must decide what that is. You could easily go into overwhelm; all the offerings look good, glory, fame, wealth, knowledge, power, riches, status, secrets. It is important to remember that there are no right or wrong choices here. The only mistake you could make would be NOT to choose or to choose in order to fulfill someone else’s expectations. Also, you are always entitled to change your mind. Ask for guidance in choosing what is most consistent with your highest and best vibration and which one(s) bring you the greatest joy. Nowhere is it written that you are limited to only one.
Does this make sense? I hope it was helpful.
