Three and Four of Cups

Today I am using the Druidcraft tarot deck to get some insight into the opportunities and challenges in store for us.

The first card is the Three of Cups and this is a card of abundance, good health, communication and sharing. Astrologically ruled by Mercury in the zodiac sign of Cancer, this is about opening up to people and expanding your circle of friends and social influence. You may try and be part of a larger group or welcome someone new in your gang. Hanging out with friends and colleagues over a meal is likely with lots of gossip or sharing of important news. Meetings and exchange of ideas may be the order of the day as you spend time planning the activities for the week ahead. You may have a need for a closer, more emotional bond with your buddies or in your relationship and the feeling will be understood and reciprocated. There will be a sense of abundance and luxury about you and over indulgence is possible. Be open and honest while communicating your real feelings and enjoy the connection you make today with others, it will have a long term positive effect on your relationships.

The other card is the Four of Cups and this immediately follows the feelings depicted in the previous card. You may be bored and tired of the predictability or superficiality of human interactions. Astrologically, this is Moon in the zodiac sign of Cancer and suggests mood swings, lethary and emotional insecurities. This may manifest as sudden, inexplicable silence after a time of fun and frolic. Your change of mood may seem whimsical to others but you would be reluctant to explain your feeling, most likely because you yourself would be unaware of what caused it. Take some time to meditate at the end of the day and ask yourself what is it that causes you to lose interest and focus. Is it the lack of passion for what you do? Do you feel stuck with the routine and patterns in your life that seem to take you away from your real goal? What do you think you need to change in order to bring the passion and focus back? Do not let your mind wander today and waste your precious time in diffused, unclear thoughts. Focus on getting back to business as soon as possible.

There is an excess of the Water element today and how this is manifested in your life would depend on how you express your emotional energy. You can choose to enhance it by connecting with others and expressing your feelings in words or you can isolate yourself, turn inwards and seek out your inner truth. Expansion and contraction are easy to the water element as it assumes the shape of its vessel. However, it expresses itself best by flowing freely and nurturing. Nurturing others as well as yourself may be an important theme today so enjoy the conversation as well as the silence.
Have a great day!
