May: The Ace of Cups
Hi my Dear Ones and Happy May.
Fox here with your monthly dose of Tarot intentions, created exclusively for Sunshine Makers Market. I hope these words find you lovingly leaping (or maybe you’re creeping?) into Spring. I’m currently holding these mild sunny weekends loosely in one hand while making room for moments of LA’s infamous May Grey in the other. What a potent time to turn inward & contemplate; perfect weather for our card this month: The Ace of Cups.
As we’ve learned in our previous time together, Cups represent the emotional world: the world of feelings and their connection to our subconscious & intuition. But Cups are not just the liquidy sea inside, they’re also the vessel that can hold that power. Without the Cup, our emotions spill out everywhere. They must be held lovingly to be respectfully appreciated.
Aces are about new beginnings, a-ha moments from Spirit, a literal hand from Goddess saying “Hey girl, check this out.” They’re the starting point of the journey in each suit, and represent a moment where we are handed divine direction, but must make it manifest in our physical world. The questions we ask with Aces are: “What am I being handed from Heaven?” and: “How do I make it work for me here on Earth?”
The Ace of Cups is a goblet from the sky, lovingly handed to you from your Creator. This may represent a new period of emotional wholeness, or an invitation to feel Big Feelings we’ve been pushing aside for some time. What’s good to keep in mind is, all life here on Earth needs water. As this divine Cup spills over into 5 streams (our physical senses) all of the flowers of our existence are watered and nurtured. The gardens of our lives grow more beautiful when we are brave enough to feel.
For Makers & Small Business Owners:
If stress and anxiety are a cornerstone of your business (maybe they’re a ritual for getting things done?) ask yourself what core emotion you may be blocking. The clarity of vision that comes after engaging with our emotional worlds can be such a guiding Star for our creative endeavors. It may feel counterintuitive to take a break from production to entertain our emotional guests, but I promise you, the results will be well worth their weight in Time.
Stone Pairing:
To open our hearts and gain clarity over what we’re experiencing, I recommend getting your hands on a big piece of Rose Quartz. For emotional results, lay down and place it on your heart for a light nap or resting meditation. Get ready to feel all the feels.
Thanks for reading this month’s Wild Card. I’m wishing you weeks full of emotional authenticity, and the sturdiness to hold it all. Whatever your connection to Big Energy, Creator, or Spirit, when we begin to let something bigger in, our emotions can start to feel a little less scary. Our lives often grow when we do, and we are lovingly led to the next answer, the next question.
