I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Staying Grounded

From the Druidcraft Tarot, the Queen of Cups; from the Druid Animal Oracle, the 'Hare:'
           The Queen of Cups is known for her compassion and her intuition. The companion book states "she does not depend on outside validation for her purpose in life." While she might develop deep relationships, she doesn't become emotionally fused with folks, losing her own integrity. One foot may be in the water, but the other stays firmly on the land. Harmony might be important to her, but she won't 'go along to get along.' She maintains her individuality alongside her compassion, using intuition and mindfulness to stay connected to what is at her core. The Hare, associated with the Spring Equinox, represents rebirth and new beginnings. It is a reminder that emotions are impermanent; they may come back, but they will always go again. The drama that seems important and all-consuming today won't be a blip in our awareness a week or month from now. Take a lesson from the Queen, and keep one foot grounded.
