Emotional release and healing in a Tarot reading…
The Ace of cups represents emotional release. It is a beautifully illustrated tarot card. A gold chalice (cup) is held in the palm of an outstretched hand, a white dove, symbol of peace sips at the water that is overflowing from the cup into a lake of waterlilies.
Emotional release and refreshment….
It’s also an ace, the first cup of the card suit. It reflects a new opening of emotions like the rush of emotions we feel when we fall in love, or even a rush of feeling that leaves us feeling vulnerable (we certainly feel vulnerable when we fall in love and our first heart opens to someone). The card illustrates our cup being so full of emotions that it spills over like a waterfall into a lake of waterlilies. Waterlilies we know grow into a beautiful flower from a long stem out of the mud which in itself suggests the miracle of how beauty flowers.
the card of emotional healing, release of emotion, joy vulnerability love…
As well as being a card of Vulnerability the Ace of cups is also a card of Healing. There is healing when we release our emotions. We are refreshed and restored.
I actually pulled this card for me. It seemed to be speaking of a. vulnerability (sadly I havent fallen in love) and b. the potential for healing, or need for…..
I had been wondering whether the healing needed was anything to do with the affect of doing a lot of tarot readings. Because as a tarot reader one experiences a lot of empathy for others and it is easy for one’s energy to mingle so to speak, and to absorb another’s. I wondered whether I was taking on a lot of other people’s stress, sadness, anxiety, anger even?
Perhaps over confident you leave things unsaid, undone only for them to come back and bite you on the bottom!
I thought I’d pull a clarification card. My question was can you tell me a bit more about this potential vulnerability/need for healing and I pulled the five of swords. Well I almost reeled back, nothing could have said watch out you are leaving yourself open to being hurt. If you look at this card the man holding three swords looks a bit overconfident, he has left two swords on the ground behind him, which can come back to bite you. Not that people want to take energy from you, but it happens in the exchange that takes place in a reading. This is a card that reminds us not to leave things undone, unfinished, to dot the i’s and cross the t’s…as otherwise things unravel, misunderstands occur. Often I say to clients about the five of swords, things come undone because you didn’t say what needed to be said, you left things unsaid. Of course it can also be about saying things a bit harshly and not making it up also. Either way it doesn’t look good, you’ve left two swords on the ground so that you can be stabbed in the back. This card is of your own doing. Not paying attention to the detail, being thorough in your exchange, being careful.
Discipline, determination and hard work empower!
Whoa I looked at the five of swords for a while and thought ( just to be clear that I was reading the card correctly….for me). Give me an advice card, and I got the Emperor. The Daddy of the pack, who is disciplined and determined and understands he needs to ‘armour’ up his feelings (all the fears, doubts, desires) in order to be empowered.
My three card tarot reading….
OK that’s it, I need to put a discipline in place and come up with an energy exercise for before and after every reading, as clearly I am susceptible to taking on other people’s energy which makes my energy vulnerable. And it is true sometimes at the end of the day I am wiped out.
So interesting last week I got the ace of pentacles, a slightly different way of describing the same situation, a brand new opportunity, and knight of cups as clarification, which rather describes me and my idealism to make the world a happier place with tarot…..I should have pulled an advice card!
Do come and have a tarot reading with me in Battersea or online via WhatsApp video works so well. More and more clients have readings on WhatsApp. I find it just as accurate, the experience and connection just as strong. The only challenge is I have to pull the cards! Sometimes when it really matters it can be quite stressful! I am always so relieved when the card is encouraging honest and relevant. The Tarot is so clever like that! Good luck everyone.
