The moon is full at 99.1%, transitioning from Cancer to Leo. There was a void moon this morning. Mars is still in retrograde.
I dreamed that an old friend from the 8th grade separated from her husband and asked me for advice on creating profiles on different dating apps. It was a tiresome feat for both of us, and I woke up thinking only of how useless dating apps really are.
I had a virtual lunch with a potential partner. We mostly talked about our social group and how it affects us separately and together. Soon, we hope to meet for a deeper conversation.
Yesterday, I worked 11 hours, so I set some boundaries on my personal time today. Don’t get me wrong – I welcome time and a half, but 11-hour days are rough.
Today’s Card Pull
The Cups suit mainly relates to emotions and feelings like love, relationships, and connections. It also indicates thinking with one’s head rather than one’s heart and embodies creativity, romanticism, and imagination.
This card depicts a conjurer bringing forth seven chalices filled with options and choices. From left to right, top to bottom, the conjurer can choose:
- A companion, perhaps romantic, perhaps in business, perhaps neither
- A shrouded figure aglow with possibility or danger
- A snake symbolizing transformation or rebirth, otherwise representing
- A castle on a precarious cliff representing a wealthy yet solitary life
- Jewels, meaning material wealth – or greed
- A laurel of prideful victory over some great obstacle
- Finally, a wyrm, licking its chops and hissing, representing calamity or envy
The conjurer sees these options upon a cloud of fantasy in his own mind. Which will he choose?
The Seven of Cups usually means that other options become available if one simply opens one’s imagination beyond the perceived possible. This card shows good, bad, and neutral options, yet all have pros and cons. Relax the mind, and let the imagination run wild! This card also means that one’s career is taking a much more positive and fruitful path. It’s also considered the polyamorous card, as it represents choice in love.
Well, Isn’t That Interesting
Considering I may have just had a first date with a person who could become a part of a many-pronged polycule, that is definitely one aspect of this. In monogamous readings, this card means there’s a group of candidates to choose from, but only one stands out and is the “right” person. Of course, being poly means that I can eschew having to make a deterministic choice, but for my part, I feel like it’s a sign that I’m making a good decision in pursuing this person at this point in my life.
As for the career stuff – man, it just seems like it keeps getting better. I’m opening my mind to new designers, potential consultants, and a world of possibilities. I’m going to strive to keep an open mind through this process and let my imagination run wild.
Things seem to have simmered down with my family. We’re getting along okay for now, with the understanding of new boundaries. Right now, I’m pretty free to do as I will, but soon, that will change. I need to start looking to the future and recognize that I may not be as free as I am now. I may need to curate my experiences.
For now, I think I’ll have a glass of wine. Cheers!
