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."

The Cost

From the Mary-El Tarot, the Page of Cups; from the OH Cards, Assessment/Destroy:

When you let it get personal, the cost becomes personal too.
― Michael Marshall Smith

This Page of Cups embodies his suit, both literally and metaphorically. While his kindness and unconditional love work in the favor of others, he has a hard time understanding the reactions of people who aren't so sweet. He doesn't comprehend why he is rarely their priority, even though he prioritizes them. He doesn't realize that their reactions have more to do with what's currently going on in their life or simply an ingrained habit rather than anything to do him. The Assessment/Destroy combo from the OH cards suggests it's time for him to quit valuing himself based on the responses he gets from others. He needs to direct that compassion and kindness toward himself, making his own emotional needs his priority.
