It's All Good?

From the Touchstone Tarot, the Empress; from the John Waterhouse Oracle, "The Nymphs:"

          The Empress is a symbol of matriarchal authority; her nurturing rule covers the realms of creativity and emotions. She keeps things growing instead of stagnating. There is always both change and beauty in her kingdom. It might be Eden there if not for her lack of boundaries (think kudzu and codependency). She's of the mindset that if one is good then a boatload is even better. Waterhouse's "Nymphs" fit nicely into the Empress mentality. This card is an excerpt from Hylas and the Nymphs, a painting of how Hylas of Argo's crew was captured by female water spirits who were enamored of his beauty. Once kissed, he was never seen again. These two cards together remind me that while my intentions might be good, my actions may create detrimental results. I need to try to stand in the shoes of all involved and see things from their viewpoint. Just because I think something is beneficial doesn't mean everyone else will too.
