Card Three: Knight of Cups

Third House: Knight of Cups

Collecting emotional information from the surroundings. Emotional knowledge. Emotions injected into words and thought and therefore movement. The moving of feeling. A forward progression using emotions as a driving force and fuel.

Thoughts have wings (helmet) and emotions are the grounding force since this is still a water card. What emotions are driving my ideas?

Written work progresses, emotional investment moves it forward. Great for my books and writing in general. An offer of further radio, magazine work. Travel in connection with work (I'm going to Santa Barbara for a Reading with a New York Author, after a successful reading here in LA of her work, entitled Sex Scenes).

Heart and Head connected. Water + Air in the House of Air. Do feelings cloud rational communication? Am I airing my feelings? Sounds like the conflict in ym birth chart between Mercury and the Moon which I forgot about until now. Maybe it's time to look at that. Mercury in Pisces square the Moon in Sagittarius. Thinking before speaking, and feeling before thinking? Or using words now for something useful (Sag publishing) instead of venting off air for no reason. USE words and emotionally powerful ones for a reason now. To further knowledge, books, information. A great year for this for my communication reach. I'm going places with my mouth, mind and words.

Collecting or being given more pieces of the jigsaw. Collecting things - emotional imprints on what I want and need. And being able to keep these in mind. What do I want, What Do I need, What Do I feel? Ask these often this year.

Communicating with my unconscious more ( I started a Dream Journal a few days ago!) and keeping tabs on my emotional energy and where my thoughts are (inject more feeling into my thoughts for ultimate success!)

Knight of Cups - Represents the passionate heart - mastery of the emotional desires which bring out the "lover" in all of us through the expressions and experience of deeply emotional passions. Relationships with Karmic ties. You may be offered an interesting invitation, which will result in an emotional experience that will bring high energy and lift you to an exhilarating state as new situations seem to come from nowhere. Your decisions will be made without much thought and you will experience the feeling of "inner" direction - the experience of warmth, friendliness, love and the need to share these qualities with everyone. There will be good will and a partnership in which good feelings will prevail.

Direct your imagination into the world - true imagination feeds on "action." If you do nothing with your dreams - they will remain vague and unrelated to the rest of your life. Your imagination can lead you to an awareness of the underlying spiritual truth. Maintain your emotional equilibrium - make constant adjustments - flow with the direction being presented and retain your "inner" control. Take advantage of your emotional energies - be open and trust yourself. Explore your deep feelings and you will experience the ecstasy of living.

"Fantasy" - excites, but it lacks any real meaning as you deny your basic commitment to the world and your imagination produces nothing. "Passiveness" can be a means of denying the temptations and desires that are disturbing your peace. The "lover" who does not wish to commit to anything - who is attractive yet always remains passive and withdrawn. Follow a genuine vision, rather than being "pulled" by outside commitments, responsibility or desire - then you can go very deeply into yourself and turn your energy into an exploration of your own inner world.

Emotional, sensitive, creative, dedicated, motivated, sensual, tender - a loving person ruled by the drive for expansion. Close ties with family and friends - a defender of heart and honor. The heart of the group, a leader or volunteer. Art. Emotional change agent - nurturing, emotional learning and growth. The younger lover of an older partner or someone taken under the wing of an emotional advisor. Innocence maturing - a student of romance. Sacrificing for someone or something else.

Questions to Answer: What dream, vision, ideal or love are you following? Who is inviting you on a journey of emotional significance?
