Draw of the day: jumping hurdles
Mar. 6th, 2018 05:18 pmI'm doing Wyntercraft's 30-Day Tarot Challenge, with the Tarot of Vanessa Ives.
Today's draw question is "How can I jump my personal hurdles?" and I will admit as I was shuffling I was thinking "It's gonna be Respite again, lol. Or like, the Chariot." But I was incorrect, and I drew the Ace of Cups--"The Stirrings of the Heart," according to Louis, in its upright position representing "New love." My first thought here is "Way to sound like my mom, tarot" but then I remember that, much like rose or rose quartz, it does not necessarily mean romantic love. It does indicate the beginnings of some sort of important emotional tie, or major emotional renewal in an existing relationship. It doesn't really give any advice, though, except maybe "Go forth and engage in major emotional renewal on purpose." Stiefvater points out that, as an Ace and therefore in the very beginning of the Cups suit's narrative arc, the card only represents a promise or possibility of such a relationship--you have to be open to it (now we're beginning to really sound like my mom). Biddy talks a lot about emotional and spiritual fulfillment and creative expression. She also talks about forgiveness and making peace with yourself and those around you, so maybe this card does have some continuity with yesterday's reading and its suggestion that I have something to get over/let go of that's holding me back.
