As with yesterday's threesome, I sit in the middle of the reading; here, I am the Queen of Cups, quiet, emotionally receptive, and open to the depths of the subconscious. Looking at her through the lens of today, I see myself in an emotionally peaceful state. I love those little frothy bubbles of sea foam in the card.
In looking at these three cards, I see that the queen has her back turned to The World. She is moving on from something; in this case, a cycle is complete. Now we are in our new home, it is almost hard to remember the years where we dreamed of this moment. I said something about this to another blogger not so long ago. She had been wanting to move for ages, and once she had, I reminded her that she is now in the moment she had desired for so long. The same could be said for us, which is probably why the Queen of Cups sits so emotionally calmly and appears relaxed in her new surroundings. The ordeal of trying to move is now over; a conquest complete (as a side note, it is interesting that it looks as though she wears the laurel reef from The World card around her left arm).
So what is it that stands before me in the shape of the 2 of Swords? I'd say that this represents new decisions waiting to be made. With a blindfold on, the pretty little figure in this card is trying her best to avoid making them, but it doesn't make them go away. I have more conquests to overcome, mainly relating to my career, but for the moment, they are on the back burner until this season is over with. The Queen of Cups in the middle of the trio looks no further than her cup and is yet to really acknowledge difficuties. She will do, but with aches in her neck, arm and knee, she thinks that kicking back and taking a rest is what's needed for the moment. She has been feeling tired again.
Despite the beautiful glow from the sun outside my window, it is freezing today; and not just outside. I guess that now we are in a detached property and are no longer living in a terrace, we can feel the cold that bit more. The frost of Winter's icy breath had covered the ground outside my bedroom this morning and the branches on the tree in our front garden looked brittle, like the boney fingers of Yule. I am supposed to see my boyfriend later but I haven't heard anything from him yet. I should imagine this means that he had a better night than he was expecting and is sleeping it off. My friend sent me a message yesterday evening, giving me a last chance to come out and play, suggesting that she and my other friend could come and pick me up, but I was already tucked up in my black duvet and silky throw by 9pm, reading. In the old days, I would have been tempted, but I just didn't fancy it. I have been getting tied by about 10pm since the move and my body has really been aching, so I am not sure how long I would have lasted on a night out. I received a few messages a few hours later, saying that they'd run into someone who the three of us do not like, so I'm glad I missed that. Losers like him fall into a long list of people I also intend to turn my back on.
With every accomplishment, there are more hurdles waiting to be jumped; that's how I see today's cards. As well as moving, I have also reached my target weight; actually, I have slipped a few pounds under it, so have lost the 1.5 stone that I wanted to. I have introduced a little variety into my diet, but have kept away from the rubbish. Even though I always look at my life as being stagnant, sitting here in reflection, I can see that things are changing and moving along with the floating bubbles and foamy waves. When Christmas is over, the queen will settle her cup down and take charge of the two swords which need to be dealt with. But for the moment, she has smaller fish to fry.
