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 Root of Reactivity

From the Legacy of the Divine Tarot, the Four of Cups; from the Tea Leaf Reading Cards, Chair:

When you get reactive, get curious. You have a wound that is asking to be healed.
—Mark Groves

Boredom, apathy, burnout or discontentment - the Four of Cups could have any number of causes. Yet they are all a reaction to something. It could be unmet expectations, an empty spiritual well, a lack of self-care, overindulgence or a failure to accept life as it is. When we discover the root of our moodiness, we will find the solution for it, if we choose to apply it. The Chair suggests rest, but it also makes me think of the saying "pull up a chair." If we have been spending to much time alone, it's possible we might need to spend some time with a few friends.
