Three of Cups

Welcome to a new episode of our blog and welcome in this beautiful spring time in Northern hemisphere.
Today I will talk about the card that somehow resembles the vitality and the celebration of the Spring season. Three of Cups.
As depicted in the picture - Three Maidens are raising their cups up high joyfully and celebrating. As their arms are raised and connected together we can understand the idea of deep connection through friendship and happiness. The laurel leaves on their heads are symbol of victory and success. When we think of deeper meaning - laurel is also a symbol of protection, peace and purification - a letter from the Universal realm to us. The Letter bringing good tidings - opening us to the sweet happiness and joy.
A collegiate harmonious relationship of friendship, full of support and oneness.
Three of cups usually show how much the harmony in our lives can help us to build strong and healthy relationship with others and our identity. It is also a sign of respite in our daily struggles - it helps to understand how much everything is temporary - and also our problems. The more we look through the idea of a compromise - alignment with our true mission is possible. A positive attitude within ourselves brings it into the outer world and helps to find solutions intuitively through the process of individual reckoning.
Pursuing a creative spirit can help you to achieve that. While your creativity is being stifled you may find it difficult to follow the process and find the balance in things. Don't be dismayed. Three of Cups can both represent three options - the third being out of the duality of the usual discord between the things we pursue and difficulties - the third that represents the door to re-gain what has been lost. The third breath, looking at things outside of what is our usual perspective, re-assesment and re-grouping.
Please ponder on it for a moment while the Spring opens itself to us with our beauty, thank you.

Queen of Pentacles

In our today's blog entry I will talk about a card of the Pentacles minor arcana - namely: The Queen of Pentacles.
As we live our worldly lives - we begin to understand how much being independent is important. It's not only about a stable income but also about the nurturing the ones we love and our household. Finding the balance between the necessity of earning money and looking after ourselves and the loved ones often proves to be very tricky but it's achievable through certain mindset.
This mindset is the belief that we are always abundant and secure to create a peaceful life for ourselves and the ones we provide for. It's about being resourceful and practical in achieving it.
The Queen of Pentacles works on the energy of request. It asks you in finding resources within you or around you to bring the critical situation towards the state of stability.

It's reversed meaning reveals how much consumed you have become in a pursuit of money. It's a request given to you. To re-balance your life and trying to come back to the natural state of prosperity that you can give both to yourself and the loved ones.
Making choices is very important at times when it seems you cannot handle and tackle the situation given by yourself.
The reversed meaning is also about a certain stance towards others. At times it's important to make people understand that they need to be made accountable for what they do and although we try to look after them and use this motherly energy to protect them against their own mistakes - it's not necessarily the best solution. We should encourage them to learn from their own mistakes and experiences
Queen of the Pentacles is an invitation to find the refuge in balance and prosperity. The natural and practical wisdom which keeps us grounded and balanced in this earthly realm we live. Let's make the best of it.
