 Ace of Cups

Neo Tarot

April 4-8: Beginning with this week, hummingwitch will share and explore one or more CARDS OF THE WEEK instead of daily cards. There will also be a CARD OF THE WEEKEND and the occasional reader contest.

This new arrangement should prove be more sustainable for me and, I hope, will give more of you sufficient time to keep up with, contemplate, and benefit from these posts. Take your time with them over the week and enjoy. Let me know what you think!

Recently, a hummingwitch reader noted the presence of the Ace of Cups reversed in his daily draw of cards, and I suggested that he imagine what might happen if, as a therapeutic measure, he were to turn that card right-side up.

A reversed Cups card often makes me think of a few things:

• how a turned-over glass or cup indicates you're finished and want no more to drink
• and, more than just being finished with something, the gesture can indicate refusal
• how turning over a vessel spills out whatever--good, bad, or indifferent--was held within
• how, by turning down a vessel, you can trap and restrain something within it.

At times, some of these possibilities can be positive. At other, they may have negative connotations and consequences. One needs to look at the situation in question--and, in an extended layout reading, other cards surrounding the Cups card--to take its temperature and meaning. Or simply ask Spirit: How am I to understand this reversed Cups card?

Your CARD OF THE WEEK, Ace of Cups, is, of course, right-side up. Hooray! So, you want to think about what this vessel brings to you from Spirit. It is definitely a Spirit-borne gift. See the disembodied hand emerging from a cloud?

Despite the minimalism of Daiana Ruiz's art for the Neo Tarot, I find incredible energy and charm in this image, and I immediately want to seize that goblet! Yes, this is for me!

The Ace of Cups encourages that affirmation. So, this week, look for the surprise of wonderful things and opportunities you might not even be aware you needed or wanted. But, especially regarding things you've been actively striving for, please settle down, breathe and receive. Believe in yourself and your worth. You may have already done the hard, preparatory work to make things happen as they now will with generosity and grace.
