The Nine of Cups. What a wonderful card for any day, but especially a Friday! It's funny to see all those cups, and next to my laptop is a wine glass. We drink wine so rarely, only on holidays, but tonight I felt my husband and I deserved a little round of white wine together while we watched the FIFA world championship.... we didn't even finish the bottle but already half a glass is real luxury for us. Such a nice evening.
The middle decan of Pisces, ruled by Jupiter - who used to rule Pisces, didn't he?, before Neptune was discovered. Pisces is related to the Moon, Jupiter to the Wheel of Fortune - they get along well here in the sephira Yesod, the sephira of the Moon. And all this is in the watery realm of Briah. So much harmony and luck.
This is the card that closes my week with the Rosetta, while it also gives me the Summer Solstice reading (How lucky I am that I have two versions of this divine deck!). This deck has given me wake-up calls I hope I won't forget. I'll keep this whole reading in an Evernote file. To finish this week off with the wonderful Nine of Cups is another encouraging card that again tells me - in the realm of Venus, my life is doing well. I was blessed and instead of complaining so much about my professional self-sabotage, I should rather count my blessings and take power from my happy relationship.
Yesod is also the sephira of intuition. For me, it's THE tarot sephira. Tarot needs all our faculties, but I feel the real ability to conduct a dialogue with the cards resides in Yesod. On the last day of the week, that's another encouragement - to continue working with the cards, without wasting time on whether I do have the intuition I need or not. It's not a competition, I'll have to do with the intuition I have and not kill it off by doubting it all the time.
Just look at the intense colours of this deck. I love all my tarot decks and thought I couldn't love a deck more than I love the Tabula Mundi, but the Rosetta is a revelation to me.
i am going to take the plunge very soon.....
