From the World Spirit Tarot, the Sibyl (Queen) of Cups; from the Mystic Glyphs, Spider:
Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.
—Chinese Proverb
This Queen would advise us to relax and let the energy of whatever emotion we're feeling wash through us. But she'd also tell us not to feed it any narratives about what happened or what might happen. Stay in the body by connecting to the senses. When the emotion dissipates, we can look at the situation from a calmer, compassionate perspective. Spider cautions us to weave our own web and stay out of the webs of others. Getting entangled in people's dramas is not our business and doesn't do anything other than create more stress. We don't have to do something about everything.
