CARDS OF THE DAY: February 9, 2022

 

 

Ten of Cups and The Sun

Oak, Ash & Thorn Tarot

by Stephanie Burrows with art by Adam Oehlers

 

February 9, 2022: A family rejoices to celebrate their lives, their love, their abundance. The familiar Pamela Colman Smith imagery for Ten of Cups shows a human family lifting arms in gratitude and joy under the arc of a rainbow. Re-imagined by Adam Oehlers for Stephanie Burrows' Oak, Ash & Thorn Tarot, a family of well-fed squirrels gathers in an oak tree under the life-giving sun.

We have two cards today. I could not resist adding Oehler's Sun to the narrative. In this unusual imagery, we're shown a dove bearing a stem of red roses as it flies through a rainstorm. In the distance, the sun rises behind a cover of clouds.

Put these two cards together--so much feeling! The second card, in particular, is laden with love and hope offered by Spirit. Accept this gift.

"Through this storm, I carry roses to you."

CARD OF THE DAY: November 29, 2021: I could not resist!

 

Ten of Cups

from Oriens Animal Tarot

by Ambi Sun

 

November 29, 2021: Today's card--Ten of Cups--comes from a deck I do not yet own. But, I mean, c'mon! Look at this card with its adorable fennec foxes!

Then look at this video survey of Oriens Animal Tarot, a beauty created by Ambi Sun. I cannot wait to get my hands on this deck!

With the highest number in Tarot's Minor Arcana, a Ten packs a wallop of energy. So expect feelings (cups=water=the emotions) to be running high today and, if applicable, sensitivity and/or creativity to be at peak levels.

For some of you, that will mean paying extra attention to boundaries--yours and others--to make safe space in which to express and care for the sometimes unpredictable ebb and flow of feelings.

For others, it might mean taking time out to channel these high energies in some useful way--through an artistic medium, for instance. One way to use this day, if you have time, might be to begin creating homemade gifts for this gift-giving season. Or start looking for that perfect gift you'll give yourself. And, yes, I certainly have mine on the way!

In any case, be especially understanding with and gentle with yourself today. Luxuriate in the abundance of human feelings and spiritual inspiration the Ten of Cups can offer you.
