You Have the Right

From the Hoi Polloi Tarot, the Two of Cups; from the I Ching Pack, "Mountain over Water:"

The Two of Cups card shows that two lovers, friends, co-workers or family members are a strength to be reckoned with when their hearts are united. Both of these people have the same size giant goblets, indicating a true partnership. But wait... the man seems to be reaching out toward the woman's cup. Is he trying to help support her load, or is he trying to take something that isn't his? Again I'll look to the I Ching card for answers. Mountain over Water is an image of water flowing down the mountain due to gravity - the natural way rather than the forceful way. The keyword for this hexagram is "inexperience," and the book's commentary suggests a need to listen, put aside preconceived ideas and keep and open mind. While I may have certain rights in this relationship, the other person may have more experience in the unfolding situation. His or her input could be immensely helpful in finding a solution or in reaching a goal. I have the right to be stubborn or receptive, but I imagine only one of those liberties will be beneficial in making progress.
