June 23: The Ace of Cups

The Ace of Cups is a card of a new beginning within the Suit - Cups, emotions, feelings, psychic energies and things of the heart.

Light bursts forth shooting out of the cup (or in) As the 'cup runneth over'. The top of the card as always represents spiritual energy, and here the cup is filled by inspiration. It pours everywhere - not solid harsh lines but soft curves (feminine force).

The web in the background represents to me being held in the vice grip of emotions - for good or bad. Emotions just ARE - its what value we place on them that determines wich we would rather experience, and which we seek out or run from.

Today isnt quite a new beginning but it IS the day before the New Moon. I had an intense night, with a conversation that became an argument through lack of an appreciation of emotions. Yes, those tricky things...I find most people can't be as honest with their own feelings as I can be with mine, which is part of life but its a difficult thing to swallow even now. This card I think represented just the TIDAL FORCE of emotions and the driving force of most high energy points in the day. I'll be interested to see what it means when it appears again in the future.
