I know I'll miss all the times spent on driving around (including getting lost & cranking up the volume while listening to our staple radio station), duelling in arcades to death, ordering personal servings good for two or more, losing sleep while letting the other catch up, guzzling green tea fraps more than twice a week, watching late-night Destructicon movies & small rock gigs, taking palpak pictures, & being on guard for surprise affectionate gestures (& looking pretty stupid to boot) by the time I'll get to sleep everything off sometime before the next Imbolc. I wonder how I'll fare out by then.
I think I should blame this year's supposed wonderful Midsummer gone haywire to the blasted sudden Venus retrograde, which fortunately ends TODAY. The weather doesn't look good, though, unless I'll be up for a storm later in the afternoon.
Anyway, it was nice of AJ of letting us kick back & chill out with bubblegum-flavored lambanog (haha) & rounds of gin rummy & poker for dimwits (like me) last weekend. I wanted to stay longer pero haaaaaaayyy. I'd look up Go Fish again, & this other card game I loved tripping on in high school.
Exercise your empathy. Be nurturing to others in a way that allows them to understand what it is all about.
The Queen of Cups in the Advice position encourages you to be generous, kind, and forgiving. Support the ability of others to get what they want. Nevertheless, remember as with anyone in a caretaking position, you have a fine line to walk. You do not want your loved ones or teammates to become complacent or dependent, as if they can take your support for granted with little or no consideration for your needs.
Cultivate an awareness of love as freely giving and receiving. In the process, help clarify the important difference between receiving energy and taking it. Do not allow your willingness to give be misunderstood or abused, as if it were a weakness.
GENERAL MEANING
Traditionally, representing the energy of a Queen, this card traditionally portrays a sensitive, vulnerable, omniscient woman who offers unconditional love. She is supremely empathic — sometimes to a fault. Her caring nature exposes her to everybody else's emotions and needs.
This person sometimes has difficulty identifying her own best interests in the midst of her responsiveness to others. As a result, she sometimes appears slightly unfocused or perhaps overwhelmed, filled as she is with "spirits". She represents the Grail Queen, as well as the Goddess of the Family.
By adjusting your next move to take the message of this card into consideration, you are more likely to achieve better results. Yet there are times when even the concept of "doing" is too much. Contemplate this card from the viewpoint of possible avenues for action, if any. Then just let yourself flow gently along those lines.
Although you may be feeling something deeply, your tendency is to analyze it away, thus minimizing its importance. Feelings are what they are. You don't need to do anything about them. But try to avoid the temptation to intellectualize your feelings or you will find the inner conflict developing a life of its own.
God, maybe I should stop thinking at this point. But the only way for me to do so is to SLEEP. Thing is, I'm too frazzled to sleep as much as I need to.
Try to seek freedom and new experiences today. This is an important time for you to spread your wings and explore. Keep in mind that emotionally, something or someone may be working to hold you back. An opposing force is promoting war while you insist on keeping things peaceful. Perhaps there is an important lesson you need to learn. Be more assertive in your actions and don't let people walk all over you.
I'll keep that in mind, thanks. I'm a sucker for horoscopes that way.
