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."

Learn From Rather Than Shape

This week I'll be using the Sun and Moon Tarot, created by Vanessa Decort and published by U.S. Games. Paired with it will be the Jade Oracle, created by artist Ramona Snow Teo and Anne Key and published by Goddess Ink. Today's draws are the Prince (Knight) of Cups and Ollin:

The very essence of romance is uncertainty.
― Oscar Wilde

Truly knowing the Prince of Cups is like trying to make out a figure shrouded in mist. He has emotional desires that are often hidden because he is timid when it comes to intimacy. Being Air of Water, he tries to apply intellect to emotion, which often creates more confusion than clarity. As a result, his highs and lows are like the dolphin he rides. Yet the lotus he holds - a symbol of beauty arising from darkness - suggests he will make progress if he attempts to learn from his relationships rather than shape them. Ollin means 'movement;' it represents the constant cycle of creation, change and degeneration in life. It is a reminder that in this flow, we can fully enjoy what is presently in our current without expecting it to be unchangeable or permanent. The same applies to our relationships.
