Queen of Cups

Card: Queen of Cups
From: The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

The queen of cups is a very beautiful lady with a lot of things going on inside. Today’s message is again about relationships. One of the things the queen of cups represents is matureness in relationships, but she can also be prone to obsession. I think obsession means really, really wanting something that you either cannot have, or is always seeming elusive. Obsession is an interesting thing because it seems like it is coming from nowhere, although there are seemingly solid reasons behind it. Perhaps those reasons are the fulfilling of a need, or the attempted healing of a long-past hurt. The need to feel ‘easy’ with ourselves is very great, and that can be what we are striving for when we obsess about something. We want to have that ‘easy’ feeling and are looking for ways to find it.

The queen can be mature and reflective. Perhaps the reflection we should look at today is our own. What are we truly being obsessive about? Is it a rational obsession? Is it something that we can actually get, or will it be eternally elusive. If something is eternally elusive, doesn’t that mean our obsession with it is a bit irrational? And if we truly can’t have it, why do we want it so much?

That is the question for today – why do we want it so much?

Are you feeling obsessed about anything right now? Do you know what fuels that obsession? I also think that sometimes we can get a bit messed up and be obsessed about something we already have. For instance, we can be obsessed about having a great relationship, but we actually already have a great relationship. But our obsession is leading us astray and causing us inner turmoil.

The Queen of cups can be one who nurtures another. Is the root of our obsession based on the need to please others?

Perhaps the next time we are feeling obsessed we can figure out where that energy is coming from and change that energy into something positive and become fulfilled instead. Be fulfilled instead of obsessed.

I wish you great fulfillment today!

Love,
