Ace of Coins: Boundaries and Nature’s Bounty

The card of the day is the ACE OF COINS.

The fruit of the earth is meant to be enjoyed, just as our physical bodies are.  In fact, I can think of no better mantra to live by, than to ‘eat, drink, and be merry’. That said, your body will still appreciate a balanced approach where some indulgence is healthy, but overindulgence will tend to create sloth and weaken your ability to create clear boundaries for yourself and in your relationships. This ace gives you the opportunity to evaluate and take responsibility for any cause and effect situations that occur as a result of your choices and actions.

Your physical body is meant to be enjoyed for a long time and you are responsible for keeping things in working order by feeding yourself well, exercising, getting enough fresh air, light, and social engagement.

If you were to listen to your body, what would it be telling you right now?

The advice of this card is to enjoy what life has to offer but to know when your body is telling you it’s had enough. Today might be a good day to draw a line in the sand. Is there a clear boundary that you need to be making?

 

 

Five of Cups: Adjusting to Loss

The card of the day is the FIVE OF CUPS.

Sigh. There is no denying that the FIVE OF CUPS explores our feelings about loss. The thing is, nothing stays the same forever and loss will always be a significant part of the life experience.  The challenge of the five of cups lies in our ability to adjust to the losses that occur in our day-to-day lives.

How do you adjust to the challenge of forced change? Do you see any patterns in your emotional response?

It’s always appropriate to mourn the loss of a person, situation, or way of life, but what is different from person-to-person, is the amount of time the grief process takes.

Whether it’s 3-days, 1-week, or a year, the advice of this card is to grieve what you’ve lost for as long as you need to, but be prepared to move on when the time is right.

Only you will know when the time is right to explore new emotional opportunities.
