“Choose to be optimistic; it feels better.”
—The Dalai Lama
In troubled times, be optimistic. Take inspiration from the Three of Cups.
A good omen, this card may forecast a happy reunion, a celebration, a rewarding job, or a new love entering your life.
In the traditional Rider Waite Tarot deck, the Three of Cups card shows three women dancing and toasting each other with golden chalices. They are partying; they are joyful. This card is sometimes called “The Chalices” or simply, “Yes!”
In the Tarot, threes stand for unity, harmony, and bonding. Threes carry a positive spiritual meaning – think of the Holy Trinity. Or, in the case of this card, consider the Greek goddesses known as the Three Graces.
The Tarot’s suit of Cups denotes “graceful” emotions: love, positive feelings, good relationships. Cups are also about making and keeping connections with people around you, o this reinforces friendship and companionship.
So this is a card about harmonious relationships, something we all need to pursue despite “social distancing” and the stresses of being “locked down” for safety.
Notice the oranges at the feet of the three women; interestingly, these can symbolise marriage. When Queen Victoria married Prince Albert, instead of a tiara, a simple wreath of orange blossoms adorned her head. And the pumpkin in the foreground stands for a harvest, so the card may herald an upcoming raise or financial windfall.
The three dancers can also represent your community, the circle of family and friends you turn to for love, compassion, and support. These might be mates from your school days, colleagues at work, or anyone with whom you’ve shared a special relationship.
This card could also be telling you not to isolate too much. Can you do a better job of keeping in touch via phone, text messaging, videoconferencing, or social media?
Finally, bear in mind that the Three of Cups is one of most optimistic cards in the deck. It says the stress in your life will dissipate as you build and maintain positive relationships, regardless of whether those connections are romantic, business-related, among family or with neighbours and friends.
So no matter how isolated you are at the moment, be sure you stay connected, celebrate the little things, and enjoy life!

Comments Off on Choose Optimism – Be Guided by the Three of Cups
In these strange times many of our normal choices are limited. We’d usually choose where to go, what restaurants to eat in, what to see at the cinema – even what clothes to wear. Some days don’t you just feel like staying in your jimjams?
For many, business decisions have been curtailed – and decisions on who we see, meet or date have been postponed.
To a certain degree it’s nice not to have to make decisions.
Yet all too often, despite the circumstances – whatever they may be – we often feel blinded by indecision, unable to choose between two alternatives. Do you ever feel that? If so, welcome to the world of the Two of Swords.
The card in the Rider Waite deck shows a rigid, blindfolded figure wearing white and seated before a large body of water with a crescent moon in the sky behind her. She holds two swords in her crossed arms.
Swords can carry negative meanings such as hunger for power, oppression of others, or blind ambition. However, they can also designate the positive qualities of thinking and communication. Twos obviously communicate dualities as well as dilemmas, two extremes, or a need for patience.
If the Two of Swords appears in your reading, especially if it’s reversed or positioned negatively, it may suggest that you’re blocking your emotions or refusing to accept a truth. You may also be ignoring the factors that can help you make an important choice, resulting in a stalemate situation.
The Two of Swords can relate to partnerships or balance. It may also indicate a need for give and take in a relationship.
The lesson of this card is the need for moderation and openness. If you’re in a conflict of any type, it’s time to resolve it. If you’ve been putting off a decision, it’s time to make it. As you do, be patient and gentle with yourself, and you’ll be more likely to find the peace of mind that we all hope for.

Comments Off on Choices, choices. The Two of Swords waits for your decision
In this strange new reality we’re all living in, it’s inevitable that many people will feel depressed, miserable, caged in. After all – our liberty has been snatched away from us. There’s so much to feel sad about – not seeing our friends, not being close to our families, possibly losing money from not being able to work. And for some, the pain and uncertainty of illness – our own or our loved ones – or worse.
At first glance, the image on the Five of Cups card in the Rider Waite Tarot deck seems to be one of sadness. A black-cloaked figure looks down at three cups whose contents are spilled on the ground. But behind and unnoticed by him are two more cups, standing upright and unspilled.
The Five of Cups, also known as the “Spilled Cups” card, advises you to focus on your blessings, rather than your misfortunes, and to feel gratitude. The Five of Cups is here to remind you that even in the devastation of grief, you still have resources left to you.
As a Tarot card suit, Cups deal with displays of emotions, love, feelings, relationships, connections, and with the roles that things play in your own life, especially with regard to the people and things around you. In the current world of instability and loss, we can find gratitude in the face of these charcteristics.
The negative side of this card is that you’re too focused on what you don’t have. Struggling to hold on to what is already gone, and spending too much time mourning past losses – these only lead to suffering. Like the figure on the card, you may need to turn around and celebrate that fact that nearly half your cups are still standing upright!
The Five of Cups may also warn you to avoid a possible future loss, and to avoid focusing on loss in the present and losses of the past. Try to replace sorrow and regret with happiness and optimism. Every loss opens new possibilities for growth and change. Just think – every day we’re in social isolation is day closer to the pandemic ending and our world, hopefully, returning to normality.

“Be sure you’re right. Then go ahead.” — Davy Crockett, American Frontiersman
You’ve made up your mind. You’re going to make a down payment on a house, change jobs, enrol your child in that school, or accept a marriage proposal. Why arrange for a Tarot reading if you’ve already made the decision?
Because, as in the quote above from American frontiersman Davy Crockett, sometimes it’s a good idea to be sure, and to confirm that your decision is the right one.
The Tarot deck is a great place to find that confirmation!
It can be difficult to bounce back from many decisions. If you’re a Londoner and you take that job in Edinburgh, think of the problems you’ll encounter if you hate your boss, can’t get along with your co-workers, and despise the work itself.
And when there is a way to turn things around, it can be painful and expensive – as in a divorce, for example.
A Tarot reader can help you consider things that might never have occurred to you, or things you’re blocking from your mind.
This can be especially true when negative cards appear in a reading about a positive event, such as an upcoming engagement.
You may be ignoring the fact that your partner has cheated many times in the past, or is consistently reckless with money. If the Three of Hearts (sometimes called the “Heartbreak” card) turns up in the reading, or the Five of Pentacles (“Poverty”), a great Tarot reader might help you face the reality of who your partner is – before you accept his diamond ring.
“Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.”
—William Shakespeare
Besides, when we’re on the brink of a major life change, regardless of how certain we are, there’s likely to be some doubt in the backs of our minds.
An insightful Tarot reader can help you dispel doubts, especially if that uncertainty is keeping you from taking advantage of opportunities. Drawing the Nine or the Ten of Pentacles (both cards are about wealth and fulfilment), or the Sun (“Happiness”) may help you to know your decision is the right one.
So whether you’re in doubt or whether you’re sure, it’s always a great idea contact a Tarot reader!
