My card for today is the Queen of Cups from the
Crystals Visions Tarot. This queen isn't sitting on a throne; instead she has
chosen a rock near a deep pond to meditate and reflect. From the muddy bottom
of this pond Water Lilies are blooming in the moonlight. Dragonflies are flying
from flower to flower. Both are symbols of emerging from the unconscious, being
aware of your feelings and see them as a reliable guideline.
This
queen is warm, sensitive and highly emotional. She is a gentle nurturer and
empathic compassionate caregiver. Since she is rather passive (water of water)
her strength lies in sharing feelings and listening to others. Don’t expect her
to help you organize a party but she will be a wonderful host and make
everybody feel at home.
When all
her emotions get too overwhelming, she can become broody, needy and
manipulative. The best she can do then is to shield herself from too much impressions, cool her feet in the water and sit there for a while with herself.
Some
days I can relate to this queen but a lot but after a longer period of “Queen of Cupsiness” I get irritated with myself. Then I long for some action and to
get my feet out of the water and back on the ground.
For
today however it might be a good advice to listen to my gut feelings and intuition and put my
overactive logical mind to rest for a while. This might help me to be more
attentive to the needs of others as well as to my own. (Somehow I keep
forgetting that “Listen” is my word of the year J)

able to hear” - Rumi
The "Queen of Cupsiness" - lol, that's a good one! I do see her getting drunk on emotions sometimes, so I think a personal time-out can be a good thing. But you reminded me that she is also very intuitive, which I often forget. Love the Rumi quote. :)
ReplyDeleteFunny mostly her intuitive side jumps out to me. I have to remind myself of her emotionally overreacting. Just the other way around. :)
DeleteI was once described and a "Ball of Emotion"...Much prefer the 'Queen of Cupiness!'
ReplyDeleteHa ha! So do I! :D
ReplyDeleteYes, I can't take too much Queen of Cupsiness, either! Still, I'm glad she reminded you of your word for the year :D
ReplyDeleteI've made a little intention box for on my altar in which I've put a note with my word. I've added also some rosewood oil and a little Sunstone. Probable I will add more intentions over time but so far it is helping me to stay more aware of my intent :)
