This week I'll be using the Rohrig Tarot, created by Carl W. Rohrig and published by Sirio. The other deck I'll be drawing from is called a tarot, but I'll be using it as an oracle: the Master Tarot. It was created by Amerigo Folchi and Mario Montano and published by AG Muller. Today's cards are the Five of Cups and the Housekeeper:
We all have times when we keep up the appearance of being happy and fulfilled, when we pretend all is well. But eventually a big cinder block crushes that illusion (metaphorically speaking), and we are incapable of living the lie any longer. It may be tempting to make ourselves feel better by blaming someone else, but we first might want to consider any unrealistic expectations we used as a foundation for that relationship. The Housekeeper is a 'doer' and gets satisfaction from having a comfortably clean and ordered home. She reminds me of a quote by Louise Erdrich that can be helpful when we feel like we're under that huge cinder block: "When everything big is out of control, you start taking charge of small things."
That is an interesting Five of Cups; sometimes day to day living can seem to be crushing.
