Rose Red's Ramblings

Today's Card: Eight of Cups

In this card we see the man walking away from what has been. He
knows he must do this to pursue his personal path to Truth. Perhaps
he has not lived a lifestyle that was for his highest good. Now
comes the point of revelation where it is clear that change is
necessary - and the only path to growth.

Although this may seem difficult, it is beneficial, and ultimately,
it comes as a great relief. As with all life changes, there are a
whole slew of emotions and questions. Now he realizes that he has
the power of the Spirit cloaking him and shielding him from the
elements of emotion/fear. When this card comes along we are shown
that even in the trying times we are being supported and guided if we
are willing to listen and trust in Spiritual guidance coming in
through that still small voice.

Change in life is often necessary even when it is uncomfortable. If
you are feeling uncomfortable right now bless the feeling, because it
means you are changing, and without change there is no growth.

Now is a time to finish up the old and embark on the new
simultaneously. Although this can make the adjustment difficult, it
will work out for the best so long as you are true to yourself and do
what your Inner Spirit dictates. With each goal you set, surround it
with the intention to move forward in the direction that is for your
highest good. Each day take a few moments to focus on the ways your
new journey is enriching your life. This can give you the courage and
momentum to continue to make progressive change.

The Two of Chalices card suggests that you should rely on and be receptive to genuine love, empathy and emotional support. Your appreciation, sacrifice and pursuit could be rewarded with a meeting of the minds. Be prepared to seal the deal with a kiss or a toast, or to make a major decision regarding your relationship or love life -- one that could affect your level of commitment or domestic happiness. By meeting each other on common ground as equals or by sharing your feelings and intentions honestly and without fear or restraint, you can come to an understanding, see both sides or initiate a romantic transformation that may be mirrored in your partner's eyes.

Part of me sees the romantic aspects of this but another part of me is seeing the friendship aspect of this card and trying to focus on that as it is weighing on my mind right now. I am hoping to work through my issues that Imay just be imagining or being over sensitive too... that is the hope any way.

More later. Now back to work!!!*cracking of imaginarey whip!*
