Morgan-Greer's
version of the Ace of Cups is one of the most beautiful to me. The
dove represents my Higher Self, that within me where ego does not
exist. The glow coming from the cup is the compassion that is able to
rise when my cup is full and overflowing. The five streams of water
represent the joy of fulfillment - spiritually, mentally, emotionally
and physically. The fifth stream
is the joy I have to pour out to others. It does not come from feeling
obligated or being needy (as in "I must do for others to feel
worthy."), but from a place of gratitude. When I give from this place
of true compassion, it refills rather than depletes my cup. It is not a struggle (like the lotus trying to reach the light), but a natural response to life.
From the Goddesses and Sirens Oracle comes "Gaia/Creation:"

The
authors suggest a meaning in their booklet about this Earth goddess
that seems quite in harmony with today's tarot card: "Allow yourself to
create in joy, not because of pressure." Whether I'm trying to solve a
problem, bake a cake, or draw in my nature journal, I enjoy it much more
when I don't put time restraints on myself. Usually when I do this,
it's because there is something else on my "to do" list that I think is a
priority. What a way to suck the fun out of things! Today I'll try to
keep in mind that the world has never come to a halt because I didn't
accomplish all I set out to do.
