Come, tiny vessel of love, to the place where the stars and the horizon meet. Come, sweet floating creature, to edge of the earth where the water drops off, and pours everything into the sweet shell of life. This message of highest love resides where all the bits and pieces of your anger and sadness are brewed and alchemized into beautiful experiences for the soul. For they too are experiences to be cherished and learned from. Lessons brewed and steeped with highest love in mind. Come meditatively. Quietly. Calmly. With everything you are. Leave nothing behind, for you will need it all in this place of mindful understanding. Steer clear of manipulation and moodiness, and come into the night on the sweet waves of kindness, for those are the waves that will push you past the riptide. They will float you out to the sandbanks of connection, and invite you to explore your inner world with the gentlest of compassion and the deepest of knowing. And with their strength you will lead, simply by being true to your heart, and accepting the nature that is. It is time to step into the healing waters of pure love. You’re headed its way.

Rising up from deep within the seeds of the ocean, this Queen is connected to all that flows. She is the unconscious bridge between the caverns of the heart and the world that flourishes around it. Her watery nature offers you the chance to flow into her portals of self-discovery, and to move mountains of emotions from within… by simply shifting the direction of your own tides. She is connected to the seas, the waters, the nourishment of life… the moon and the ethers… and she is always welcoming you to cleanse your joy in her healing streams. From deep within her beating essence she sends love harmonics into the waters of the world. She works with her waves to grow compassion, and passion, and to connect us back to our Source of truest emotions. All of them. She seeks this alignment so that actions, words, thoughts and breath all beat in the rhythm of true feelings, as feelings and desires are a barometer that can be used as an intuitive map of reality. She asks that you see yourself as you truly are – and to feel your essence as you truly feel. This nurturing, caring energy is one that washes away unhealthy attachments and bubbles down through the earth to create foundations of sacred space in relationships. It allows strong empathy without the energetic baggage of taking on other people’s stuff, and it breeds intuitive creativity and small pockets of devotional joy. Fall into this flowing compassion.

He stomps and jumps and plays in the water of his heart. So joyous he is… with this fresh new connection. The idea of this pairing brings his energy levels up so high that there is nothing to do but just joyously romp in the fresh rain water. Sometimes you will find him kicking like this in the heat of passion or when he is overtaken by a jealous streak, but today this Knight of Emotions is full of unbridled joy. The spinning nautilus shell rises in the sky, lighting the afternoon with the gentle nudge of all things growing and shifting as creation wills it. It reminds everyone beneath its bright love that nature’s only option is to grow or to decay, and by choosing to grow… by choosing to put energy into his partnerships and into his passions, he consciously expands energy… both his, and theirs. By consciously dipping fearlessly and honestly into the growth that love offers, without the worries, the rules or the head-games… he forms the connections he most desires to experience. He is.. who he is… and he loves.

There’s so much magick in the world, and the Page of Cups knows how to expect it. For expecting it is akin to seeking it in the everyday, and seeking it in the everyday – in the mundane – is the key to seeing it everywhere. There are Universes of magic to be found in the internal horizons of our being, so deeper down her own rabbit hole of history and feelings she dives… and she begins to understands that the synchronicity that she spots today is a result of energy and priming that she sent out into the biosphere yesterday. She uses this technology of magick to create her path, always remaining child-like and playful as she imagines her future. She lives less goal-driven and more heart-driven. She loves surprises you see, and so her magick includes seeking the fun and the beauty in the world around her, and using that inspiration as a starting point for the next thing within her. Worlds within worlds within worlds she creates, starting with a light releasing of control… a subtle shifting of energy, a trance-like softness that she feels on the sides of her head and in the center of her chest, and the drips of joy that come from this magickal state release her gentle belief that all is good in her world. And so it will be. And so it is. And so she creates magick.

A spiritful dance to set the stage. A joyful manifesting of hearts and loves. A unity of souls and minds. And a cycle of completion comes to fruition and all their hearts align. They sing and dance and step together, celebrating their one giant love and their connected feelings of joy. This type of community bliss is intoxicating, and the energy of the many is greater than the energy of the one. This is true family. Soul family. These ancient dancers know that when you connect with a group of like-minded and like-hearted souls for this type of vibrational healing, you connect with Source and with an energy that will forever amplify your ability to love. It’s time to seek community. To love. And know that this card means it’s all on the way. All of it. Enjoy this high-vibe dance and feel into this emotional outpouring of faithful alliances and support. Love is pouring down, and your only task is to share it around as you soak in all it.

Sometimes it’s as simple as floating. A few deep breaths and a drop of happiness, and you’re in. The Universe doesn’t gift beautiful endings to those who have enough confidence, faith or wisdom. It grants them to those who are brave enough to go after what they want. The belief needed? Only that you are enough to begin. You don’t need to be totally ‘there’ yet in order to begin building. You are worthy, loved, whole and you just need to put one foot in front of the other. So, sweet beautiful creator, when you become your own Muse and you wish your dreams to life, how big are you making them? Are they brilliant enough to reflect light back at you? Are they bright enough to keep you going when things get a little dark? Are they going to light the way for you in those times when you forget why you wanted them in the first place? This floating Muse is here to remind you that it will be easy. That it is easy. And then you can move in the direction of the crystal lights that flash sweet messages of hope and love on the path. You, too, are everything you need to reach out and accept this gift from the Universe. It’s not ‘other.’ ‘Theirs.’ ‘Difficult.’ It’s yours. Here. Now. Just make a choice to go get it, and in that choice lies the inspiration for true happiness and a Spirit quenched and whole. Your gift is on the way.

The eclipse threw out its darkest rays and it blocked the blinding lights of illusion. It blocked the strange sensation of being dulled and numbed. It stopped the false happy. It cast everything with a sheen of honest magick and she saw it all for what it really was. Oh, how often she has stayed when she didn’t want to! How often she has done so much – for them – and never for herself. She realized how far out of shape she had twisted and changed, and just how far off course she really was, and just how far off course she really was. It was heartbreaking… disappointing… to realize that she allowed herself to go this far. But now, in the gentle lifting of the spell, she could see everything in its lucidity. Like a switch had been flipped, she dropped it all. All the baggage. All the lifetimes. All the tethers. All the broken dreams. She cut the cords and for the first time in her life she chose herself. She let go, and she took that first step bravely, uncertainly, yet strangely hopeful that she could begin anew.

All the things before her, and she is fantasizing about having them all. These swimming beauties are so alluring that they are almost hypnotizing. She watches, knowing that she gets to select one of these opportunities. Choices. Options. And they look quite similar on first glance. But when she goes deeper, they all have special nuances. Qualities. The Muse sheds light down into the water to help clarify her choices. Some are bejeweled and bedazzled. Some bewitched and triumphant. Some hiding fins of danger, others unable to see in front of them. All these beautiful little fins glimmer softly, vying for her attention, and she is being asked to choose one for her future. She wonders for a moment if she has created this illusion of choice, and she is puzzled about which to settle upon. ‘Which one will bring me happiness,’ she wonders, ‘and which is the prophet of joy? Which one brings love and happiness?’ She has so many opportunities and potential doors to the future swimming in front of her, that she feels a little overwhelmed, but she also knows it’s time to move from thinking into choosing and doing. So she decides.

Splash. Jump. Giggle. Toot. And all the world’s a game! Remember her? The little girl testing mommy’s shoes or the little boy jumping into the puddle to capture frogs. Can you feel them? They are still there, in the strands of DNA and in the muscle memories of your life. And sometimes, they still need to be cuddled. Held. Reminded that the world is a big beautiful puzzle and that sometimes…. you’re it! as you run around like wild-stock in a game of tag. This Muse holds a mirror of time in front of you, and asks you to drink from its fountain of youth and then speed forwards to a future version of yourself who will remember your present…. with clarity and love. She reminds you that life-long friends and family (and old flames and joys!) can be called on, accessed and enjoyed, if only in memories. She reminds you that inside of this mirror of time that all the world is framed by the filters of memory and perception. Every time you access your memories you change and colour them, a little bit. The Muse smile as she points out that, in this way, you have been changing your past since the day you were born, so why not choose to remember your life in a way that will heal your heart and serve up joy?

When all the world feels like ice, she knows that we have drifted from our emotions once more. We grow cold. Hard. Distant. And she knows that there is work to be done in order for us to find our hearts again. It is just so easy to feel so clean and so numb. She wonders if we miss the tender aching of our own heart for joy. And she knows we do, because she feels it all for us. All the hurt. All the sadness. All the grief. And all the love, laughter and hopefulness. So she holds onto the ice for us. She warms it with her empathy of sunshine, and she melts it into drops of tears. Her heart is a vast ocean… and she holds it all… overflowing with all the emotions we need to feel so that we can smile again. Processing is a process. She helps make it a little easier. She takes some of the saltiness away so that our wounds are not as fragile, and she asks us to feel into the feels so that we can heal.
