10 OF CUPS: DELIGHT AND GOOD FORTUNE

The Ten of Cups is a great card in the positive position because it represents satisfaction, joy, fulfillment, love, and a long-lasting relationship that has successfully grown and developed. Since their backs are towards you in the card, it shows a reflection of the couple's life together, past and future.

Joy goes beyond happiness, contentment, enjoyment. It is the feeling that comes when we know at the deepest level that we are one with all that is, and it is good. Unfortunately, this is not exactly a common feeling! Too often we are blinded by the trials of life and overwhelmed by their challenges. Joy exists, though, and is our birthright.

TEN OF WANDS: NEED TO LET GO OF BURDENS

The Ten of Wands is a card about feeling burdened and/or overextended.

Oft times we hold onto burdens we shouldn't be holding onto, like when we take on the sole responsibility of trying to make a relationship work. If this is the case here, you need to release that burden and go back to focusing on yourself.

Leave room for the other person to step up. And if they don't, you are already on the path to preserving yourself. Never feel like you have to twist yourself into knots to make love work.

THE MAGICIAN: GREAT POTENTIAL AND SELF BELIEF

The Magician
This is a day when you can achieve whatever you want, provided you have the determination and self-belief to make it happen.

There is great potential for you here, either at work, with a financial prospect, or concerning a relationship. Harness that inner power and you will find the charm, wit and possibly sheer cheek to achieve the outcome you want.

If you lack self-confidence or are indecisive, you risk letting today's opportunities slip by.

Take care if you have any dealings today with a man who you feel unsure about. If you doubt his trustworthiness and sense a devious nature or hidden agenda, you may well be right! Read More

FOCUS ON STRENGTH

What Should I Focus On?
Strength
Card 1 (Strength) : »

This may be a time when the only things which will get you through are good old fashioned courage and bravery.

Some say that we are not measured by our successes, but how we deal with our failures. This implies the choice between wallowing in our negative thoughts and emotions, or hauling ourselves up by the boot straps and finding the courage to go on.

If you want a promotion or you are seeking a new job, but set backs and rejections are making you feel like a failure, keep applying - don't give up.

In the area of love, have the courage to do what's right for you. Avoid focusing on loss, rejection and loneliness, and instead focus on the possibility that you will find the kind of love and relationship you desire ... or that it will find you!

In the area of finances, focus on the money that's coming in, and find ways to increase the flow, rather than focusing on any expenses or losses that are draining your resources.

Lotus Tarot

Your card today is the King of Cups. Kings, like other court cards, can represent an actual person or highlight this energy in your life.king-of-cups

If this King represents someone you know, he is likely to be a man over the age of 35 with fair or grey-hair, a clear complexion and pale-blue, liquid eyes. He may be a Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces.

Being highly intelligent and a man of considerable achievement, you will probably find him in working in law, education, medicine, religion, diplomacy, or caring profession.

You would love to have him as your doctor, lawyer or therapist because he genuinely cares. He also makes a wonderful husband or father. This is the best card to receive in a love reading if you want to get married or have a family. If you are a woman it may mean you have met the ‘One’.

In Tarot, the Kings represent mastery and the suit of Cups symbolises feelings, emotions and intuition. The years have made the King wise. He was once a naive Page, and then an idealistic Knight, but he has learned over time to master his thoughts and emotions. He has become mindful and a person of considerable strength.

The King knows that this inner peace is the source of his power. This is how he stays centred and clear, no matter what stormy emotional seas rage around him. He may come across as guarded but really he is just keeping himself in check. He is responsive rather than reactive. No matter what, he just will not buy into drama.

The presence of the King of Cups in a reading can suggest that you are in a situation where this energy is important in your life. You are being strong with all the challenges in your life right now. It’s not always easy but you just intuitively know that staying balanced will empower you. You are doing great. This is a sign to hang in there and it will get better.
