Guiding words/ideas:
Ace cards as offerings and invitations; this Ace is an invitation to work with… one’s emotional landscape, love, flow and the moon/intuitive wisdom.
Channeled guidance:
These two generous hands are off offering up a cup of water, for the suit of Cups connects us with this element. Water moves throughout the planet and moves inside each creature. It is always moving, changing, adjusting, adapting, and carving out landscapes. One’s emotional life is also always moving, changing, and carving out internal landscapes. These hands hold out this cup and offer it to you. Will you take this cup? Will you be open to drinking the water from the well of your own heart? Will you drink water from the well of wisdom, of your own intuition?
This card is an invitation to open your heart and feel your feelings. It is an invitation to love and be loved. It is an invitation to work with the moon. There is a moon depicted below the cup. The water is ready to drip right down onto the moon. Will you be with the moon’s silvery beauty as you work on your shadow self? Can you be inspired by water and step into the flow?
These friendly offerings and invitations are actually quite difficult to accept. But know that you are capable of doing this work, and the more you do it, the easier it becomes. The more you let your tears fall, the more relief you can feel from the movement of your sadness. The more you open your heart, the more connection you can have with all other beings. The more you trust your intuition, the more you will be in alignment with your life and your purpose. This is beautiful work, and I urge you to accept this offering.
