E.K. 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 __________.”E.K. 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 three ones, including two aces, and three cups in this mini-reading, so we know that this request for insight focuses on E.K.’s triumphing in leading, controlling, and directing her/his feelings, emotions, and psychic abilities. Because there are no members of the Major Arcana, the context for these insights is E.K.’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 Ace of Wands, a triumph of taking back the power to lead your own life. The time is NOW, the “Chosen One” is you, and you are bringing blessings into your own life and into the lives of others. You are able to use your discernment when others make suggestions as to what you “should” do, say, believe, think, and be, and then you have the confidence to thank them for their input and do exactly what you have chosen.
The spotlight is now on the Ace of Cups, a triumph of being. People enjoy spending time with you, E.K., and it’s not necessarily because of anything you say or do; it’s because of who you are. The Light that you carry causes blessings to fall into the lives of those near you because you give with the overflow. You bless and inspire others; you are an uplifter who encourages others to be more of who they really are.
The spotlight is moving toward the five of cups, mourning what has been lost or you feel is now missing. This can be anything from a feeling of what you don’t have or feel you aren’t “enough” of to the loss of a friend, colleague, relative, home, job, finances, or a sense of satisfaction and/or well-being. Be gentle with yourself; feel the sadness, find out if you are holding any beliefs that are keeping it active, and then, let it go. Recognize that you are energizing “lack” by keeping your attention on it. Turn and feel gratitude for the two cups that are still standing and full.
The summary card is 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”. Taken as a whole, this is an amazzing reading. You have much to celebrate, E.K. If you find yourself slipping into lack, let go of any judgments, comparisons and competitions that in any way take away from the glorious triumphs you have achieved.
Does this make sense? I hope it was helpful.
