If
you want to know who's a Queen of Cups personality, watch what a person
does after they ask, "So how are you?" Most don't even stick around to
hear what you have to say; they either tell you what's going on in
their lives or flit off to "talk" to someone else. The true queen of
this suit will sit down, look you in the eye, and listen to every word
you say. Her face will reflect your own emotions. Empathy is a
wonderful trait, but must be grounded so another person's reality
doesn't become your own. Though the queen sits at the edge of the
water, and her gown looks like a flowing stream, her throne rests
securely on terra firma. Today I will remember the difference between
compassion and enmeshment, and focus on kindness without getting drawn
into drama.

From the Rumi Cards:
If you read nothing and wisdom sees your fervor,
Awareness will sit in your hand like a tamed dove.
I
can easily become passionate about things, but my fervor often drives
me to research through books and the internet. This is not necessarily a
bad quality, but I tend to live in my head too much. I must remember
to live life by experiencing it, not just by reading about it. True
wisdom is a mix of book learning and experiential learning; such
awareness allows me to connect my mind, body and spirit.
