Anything is possible today!  Open your mind.  Say, “Yes!”  Don’t make all the decisions about your path, or make assumptions about how it’ll be before you embark.  Stay open to surprises and unexpected opportunities.  Anything could happen if you leave room for possibilities.   You’re only limited by your own doubts and fears.  So, today, shake away your worries and take a chance. Trust in the Universe to keep you safe, then take the leap into the unknown … It’s time for a new adventure!

Are your head and heart united?  If you have a decision to make now, then tune in to your heart’s desire, but pay attention to logic.  If you are acting out of love, you are on the right path.  When making choices today, take a long-term, heart-centered perspective.  Put the feelings and well being of yourself and your loved ones first.  A choice made purely from logic, that goes against what feels good or right, is not the right choice today.  Often in life we must make choices and once we choose one path, another is sacrificed.  Take responsibility and ownership for the choices you make today.  Celebrate the love you have in all its forms:  passion, friendship, caring, spiritual devotion and self-love.

Today is about the union, the coming together, of two or more things to create something new. This could represent romantic attraction,a marriage, a supportive partnership, coming to a compromise, mutual support in a relationship, a friendship and bonding, or a sense of equality between two people or two groups of people.  Spend time doing something, or being with someone, that you love and feel deeply connected to.  The time and devotion you put into this project or relationship will fill you with joy and inner strength.  Whether this card indicates romance, business partners, friends, family members, or the uniting of physical and spiritual realms, the Two of Cups always represents equality, balance and mutual give-and-take, particularly in regard to emotional support and understanding.

You are a natural leader.  You are devoted to your family and those whom you lead.  You are charming and kind and motivated to take action to bring about positive change.  Sit down and think about your goals today.  You are decisive and courageous and take risks based on your gut feelings.  You have a very clear understanding of yourself, what you’re capable of and what you want in your future.  You like excitement, competition and challenges.  You have a lust for life! You like to be surrounded by a diverse group of people. You are not rigid in your thinking and are receptive to different points of view when considering a situation.  Use that energy to get intentional.  Not only can you set great goals today, you also have the energy to start working towards them.

A decision has been made and you are taking your first optimistic steps towards your goals.  You have set things into motion and there is no turning back now.  You know what you need to do, and you have the confidence to do it.  Invest in your future today.  You have the ability to lead and a vision that can inspire. Forgiveness of others or yourself may be required in order to let go of the past.  Your plans might take require foreign travel.  Coming together with others and negotiating and trading could also be implied. If so, equality and cooperation may be required.  Make connections, work on your education, start creating something for the future. With the bright future ahead of you, it is an ideal time to let go of past hurts. Your future self will say, “I am so glad I put energy into this back then.”

In this card, you are the person working diligently and happily on a project.  You have already completed a great deal of your task and are focused on maintaining the quality of your work, which you perform with focused satisfaction.  Today is a day to focus on your craft.  Don’t be lazy.  Don’t cut corners.  What you are creating or doing is a reflection of who you are.  Put in the work you know you are capable of.  It is so worth it.  It may be that you will soon be employed in steady and rewarding work, that you need to persevere in a matter that is near completion, or that you are learning a great deal through work that may seem repetitive.

You are full of energy and desire something new.  Shake up your routine today.  Do something different and fun!  Go outside, get some exercise, follow your whims and fancies.  Though you may not be creating long lasting change now, a bit of disruption will benefit your creative spirit.

You are a sharp-minded, direct and idealistic person today.  You are a great problem solver and debater.  You are rational and do not let your feelings drive you.  You know what you want today and have the determination to get it.  However, you should slow down and think your plan through.  You can be headstrong and impatient.  Watch your communication, as you can be very direct and piercing because you are passionate about your own ideas and will not spare another’s feelings in getting your point across.  Though planning may seem boring to you right now, it could ultimately save you a lot of trouble in the long run.  Resist the temptation to jump to conclusions.  If you rush ahead, without considering the details, you are likely to say or do something that you will regret later.

You are able to observe your emotions and respond in wise ways to them.  You are a wonderful counselor and advisor.  You are careful, empathetic and an understanding listener.  You give good advice and make a wonderful mediator.  If there is a difficult conversation you’ve been putting off, today is a good day to have it.  You have a very good understanding of your emotions.  You can feel deply without being swept away by those feelings.  You can also listen easily, with compassion and empathy to another’s point of view.  Maybe the difficult conversation you need to have is with your self.

Life cannot stay as it is.  Change is unavoidable.  You will benefit now by being accountable for your choices and behavior.  Be honest with yourself.  Look at the big picture of your life.  Where are you at in your life now?  What are the big lessons you’ve been learning?  What are you grateful for?  What are you tired of?  By taking time to check-in with yourself now, you can calm your mind and spirit.  When you are calm, your inner voice can be heard more clearly.  So check-in, calm your spirit and notice the wise guidance of your soul.  Your current phase of life is coming to an end.  Now it is time to look objectively at what has come before.  In which ways did you succeed?  Where did you fail?  What big lessons have you learned?  Tune into your higher calling to learn where to go next.  Pay attention to the big ideas you have now.  They are not just impossible dreams!

The situation has become as bad as it possibly can.  This is rock bottom.  Enough is enough.  There is nowhere to go but up.  It’s time to admit that something is over.  It’s time to let it go.  Stop thinking about it.  Stop talking about it.  There’s no need to get in the last word.  Let it go and move on.  If you don’t, you’ll only be dragging out your own suffering.  Something new is awaiting you!  Create space to let it in.

Today is a day for learning.  It is a time to examine your beliefs.  Ask yourself, “What one thing could I learn that would improve my life now?”  Once you’ve decided your subject, hit the books.  Go to the recognized experts and pay close attention to their words.  Once you’ve absorbed the traditional teachings on this subject, you can begin to innovate, but for now be a willing and cooperative student.

You are magical!  You can take a thought and transform it into something real.  Today, set an intention and follow-through with action.  Dream it.  Create it.  You can do it!  You have the potential to make things happen.  The key to taking control of your life is to have a vision and then take action to make it happen.  Intention and action are both required.  When your intentions and actions are aligned, real magic occurs.  Start gathering the resources you need to meet your goals.  The universe is empowering you to manifest your vision.  Take advantage of this opportunity by staying focused on your goals and applying your power!

It’s time to start getting to the roots of your worry.  There is something you’ve been pushing down or trying to ignore, but it’s not working for you anymore.  Your worries creep in when you’re trying to sleep,disrupt your appetite, create so much noise in your mind.  A good way to start facing what’s bothering you is to write it down.  From there you can decide if there’s something you can do about it, or choose to just let it go.

Today, consider how wonderfully complete you are.  You are a unique and amazing person.  Everything that has happened to you has made you who you are today, even the hard stuff … especially the hard stuff.  Find some time today to reflect on your story so far and what an incredible adventure it has been, and then get ready for the next chapter that has yet to unfold for you.

Let “kindness” be your guiding word for today.  When you let your happiness flow through gentle, friendly interactions with others, it multiplies in the world, and will keep coming back to you.  So, reach out to someone from your heart today.  Even the smallest gesture of kindness could make a big difference to them.

Calm your mind today.  Take time to let your thoughts settle and your ideas mature.  Taking time for mental restoration now will help you focus and stay motivated in the days to come.

The Devil card typically shows a man and woman (carnal lovers) chained to a demonic entity. This is the couple from The Lovers card but now they are consumed by selfishness and unbridled passion instead of innocence. They have become slaves to their animal natures.  This card means imprisonment, addiction, and the bad and ugly.  Pay attention to what you feel resentful towards, or burdened by today.  Whatever you are feeling weighed down by, remember, it is something you chose and also something you can unchoose.  Assess whether you want to remain committed to that which you have tied yourself to.  It may not seem like it, but you do have a choice.

The next struggle is with the fear of losing the soul.  The Devil is negative ego and ignorance.  The temptation is to throw life away.  It is easy to get hooked on the pleasure of blotting out the pain of living.

Excessive sexual behavior, over-indulgence, thrill-seeking, cruelty, and crime are doors through which life energy can be lost.  The Devil is a misunderstanding of the laws of sex, the ultimate paradox.  Sex is vital life force.  If sex is abused or rejected, essential life leaves the body.  When the life force is equated with sin, you are in contradiction to life itself.  Dark fantasies and cravings overwhelm; the result is shame and suffering.  The male and the female principals are opposed, trapped and frozen apart.  She has turned into a pillar of salt.  He has congealed into heedless bronze.  Sexual strength is the ability to stay centered and contained.  The goat god Pan represents natural, innocent sexual vitality.  Sexuality that is understood and managed in a mature way is heaven — sacred sex — but, sexuality out of control is hell.  Do not contend with evil, just make energetic progress towards the good.

How are you dealing with your devilish impulses to throw life away?

Work on a project that is important to you today.  You have a very practical and strategic mindset that will serve you well.  Don’t get caught up in little details.  Keep on moving and producing.  You can come back to refine later.

You know exactly what you need today.  Trust your intuition — chances are it is quite loud.  Be confident and proud about doing what’s best for you and in pursuit of your dreams.  No apologies.  In fact, your confidence and independence are likely to attract admiration from others.

Today is a day for insights about your self and your life.  There is a possibility you realize some truth that is difficult or painful.  Be compassionate with yourself.  You may want to seek guidance from a wise and trusted friend or teacher.

Today pay attention to the feedback you’re getting.  Whether it’s a work project, a new health plan, or a financial investment, look objectively at what’s working well, and what could use adjustment.  Don’t let perceived failure get you down.  Instead, learn from your errors, make the necessary changes and carry on.

You are full of energy and desire something new.  Shake up your routine today.  Do something different and fun! Go outside, get some exercise, follow your whims and fancies.  Though you may not be creating long-lasting change now, a bit of disruption will benefit your creative spirit.

Back to the same heartspace as last Saturday:  When making choices today take a long-term, heart-centered perspective. Put the feelings and well being of yourself and your loved ones first.  A choice made purely from logic, that goes against what feels good or right, is not the right choice today.  Ask yourself if your head and heart are united.  If you have a decision to make now, tune in to your heart’s desire, but also pay attention to logic.  If you are acting out of love, you are on the right path.  Often in life we must make choices, and once we choose one path, another is sacrificed.  Take responsibility and ownership for theh choices you have made.  Celebrate the love you have in all its forms:  passion, friendship, caring, spiritual devotion and self-love.

Whatever you are currently working on, today, take a step back to look at our long-term vision.  There is a good energy today for practical planning.  Use it to make sure you are setting the right priorities and approaching your project in the best way.  Don’t be afraid to seek advice from a more experienced person; not only is asking for help not shameful, it’s smart. The intentions you have sent into the Universe are beginning to come to fruition.

The King of Cups is emotionally mature.  He is able to observe his emotions and respond in wise ways to them.  He is a wonderful counselor and advisor.  He is a careful, empathetic and understanding listener.  He gives good advice and makes a wonderful mediator.  He has a big heart, is extremely caring and makes a wonderful husband and father.  Today, be the King of Cups … You know your mind and heart.  Be a good listener and listen to others with compassion and empathy.  Perhaps the difficult conversation you need to have is with another, or yourself.

Today is a new day, and a new opportunity for joy!  Find ways to refresh your environment and yourself.  Have a long and lovely bath, tidy up your room, declutter and practice forgiveness.  Make space for wonderful new things in your life.   You are on a healing path.  Be sure to nurture both the physical and spiritual aspects of your life.  Do what is practically required, while at the same time visualizing an ideal future.  Calmness and stillness may be required to heal completely.

Today is a day to celebrate with dear friends. There is positive growth and emotional union between two or more people with today’s energies. Whether the blessings in your life are big or small, when you take time to show your appreciation, the joy in your community multiplies and keeps flowing.  A new relationship will grow into a real friendship.  You may be invited to a party that you will definitely enjoy.  Why not call up that dear friend that you haven’t talked to in a while and set up a date for tea or a night out?!  If you’ve been looking for new love, you might find there’s mutual attraction and affection between you and your newest love interest.

Today may be more about “out with the old and in with the new” as the Death card implies a new beginning. It doesn’t mean you have to throw out all of the old, as you can often salvage something from the past to carry forward into your future.

For Love:  Your relationship may be going through some changes which can lead to transformation. Whether you wish for these changes to be positive or negative is in your hands. One thing is certain though, it will not be boring.

For Work:  There may be some variety around for you today when it comes to work or you may have a desire to change your job. Whatever you are thinking about doing should work out well for you as the Death card often means change which is usually for the better.
