Above the goblet, your spiritual guide soars and paves the way for your destiny which unravels with purpose and light. Everyone is on a spiritual journey, and the path you are on is strong and positive like the precious metal of gold itself. 

This card is affirming, it is about life blossoming before you. Soon, you will find you are able to conquer everything in the world outside; from the small, everyday moments to the major life-changing decisions, you can do it all with the poise and the swiftness of a bird in flight.

The Ace of Cups is full of knowledge and wisdom, through the night it sings a song with soft lyrics of truth, telling you to trust your inner soul, to know that your potential is boundless. Hear these singing words full of honesty, once this card is in play, your life is like the changing of the winds - all bets are off, and your life may become as rich and fertile as soil, so make sure you remember to sew your best seeds, for these are the opportunities you will reap.

If you have received the Ace of Cups in your reading, then you are either being blessed or will be blessed with a very promising time in your life. The Ace of Cups is like a giant gift from Heaven. The card itself depicts an image of a hand that is stretching outward from the heavens, offering you a refreshing drink from a cup that is filled with the five streams of living water. This Water flows from the Cup into the Lake below the hand, symbolizing the unconscious mind, eternal life, and creating a reciprocal relationship between you and Spirit Energy. When the mind is filled with spirit, the spirit fills up your cup to overflow.

When this card presents itself to you, you will experience the beginning of great love, joy, productivity, fertility, and contentment. The Ace of Cups is the bearer of pleasure and happiness. In this, it is extremely fortuitous and lucky that this card is transiting you right now. You must have done something right. Congratulations! The Ace of Cups represents the beginning of experiences such as love that transcends the Earth.

This easy-going transition will bring you: Emotional stability, and the love of self, which enables you to experience a huge level of fulfillment, romantic love, and love of love. Love, love & more love. Some say that as humans we are made up of 75% water, making us fluid creatures that are affected by the ebb and flow of the tides of this world. The Cups suit rules the emotions and so tells us about the ebb and flow of the emotional tides in our lives. Because of this relationship with water, we are highly intuitive creatures and as a result, at points, our emotions can take over. However, in this situation, you are represented by this card which is one of wholeness and solidarity. You are compassionate, mentally and emotionally stable, and happy.

If you are coming from a challenging experience, this card is telling you that you will feel much better very soon. Things are going to turn right for you right away. Now is the time for you to open up your spiritual channels, and to learn to be accepting of all of the hopes and doubts that happen to come your way in life when you pursue any goal. Not allowing hardships to interrupt your process. This card represents healing in all ways, so use it to your benefit. Love imbues meaning into our lives especially when we are trusting and willing to approach life with a heart that is full of spiritual awareness and vulnerability. If you have the courage to allow yourself to feel your full range of emotions, you will grasp ahold of a personal fulfillment that many strive their whole lives to achieve.

Ace of Cups in Love

When the Ace of Cups presents itself in a reading about love, you are lucky! Because love is blessing your life right now in multiple ways you want to be open to all of the possibilities. If you are single and looking for love, this card is telling you that you will meet someone lovely with whom you can share your goals, someone who can spiritually connect with you on your level.

There is a tremendous amount of possible fulfillment here for you. If you are in a relationship, then many blessed events are coming your way. This could come in the form of having children, or in other fertile ventures in your relationship. Perhaps you are coming out of a cycle that was particularly difficult. The Ace of Cups is telling you that life is going to take on a sweet feeling for quite some time.

One day a lady I know asked me why a date ghosted her and she pulled out the Ace of Cups. I often see this as a “love” card and it is all about filling that love with emotions. There is however a shadow side to the Ace of Cups. That the emotions can be overfilled and too intense. So if you are asking about a negative love situation consider the shadow side of the card, this can mean that you need to address your romantic intentions.

This is the same for anyone that you are asking the cards to give you information about as well as any future endeavors about health that is giving you concern. This is the ultimate card of opportunity, joy, and forward motion. Expect some happy thrills you have nothing to fear.

Ace of Cups in Work and Wealth

When the Ace of Cups presents itself strongly in a reading about work or wealth you can guarantee that you have much abundance in your future. But the primary purpose of the Ace of Cups in a business reading is to point out that the way that you will feel about your business life is going to be better and more secure. Many of us in this economy have a big fear of losing our jobs or not being able to financially support ourselves and our loved ones, but here the Ace of Cups is telling you that you can rest at ease because it is in your life protecting you. Now is an excellent time to save up any extra money that you are making because you will be able to afford a little nest egg for yourself.

Ace of Cups Past

To draw the Ace of Cups in a past position can indicate that you are experiencing a moment of great emotional significance – the cup of love sticks out in your history, a red mark of passion, fire, and joy. It’s memory is forever imprinted inside you; sometimes we must recall such moments in the present, we can express gratitude, even for things which have since faded into history. Like the beautiful water lilies decorating the surface of a pond, there is more to your story below the surface. 

When a dearth of inspiration turns your world grey and dull, extract power from the emotional resonance of past chapters and use it to take you into a new period of discovery and self-love. 

Feelings, both happy and sad, are necessary for our continued spiritual growth - the waters of your life have a current pushing forward. When the sun beats down the journey is warm and easy, but when the winds blow it is wild and tormenting, each stage must pass by, and nothing is permanent. Find a balance in making peace with your history without allowing it to sweep you away from your life at the moment.

Ace of Cups Present 

Something new comes your way, can you feel it? It smells like experience, as fresh and pleasing as a newly opened blossom. It may come in many shapes, a new person, a new opportunity - stay alert and be ready to run with it, when this moment unfolds you will know what it is, be ready to enjoy it to its last drop.

A period of happiness is settling upon your life like freshly fallen snow, it is light and beautiful; it glistens in the sun and glimmers with the success born from your own hard work. Take steps out and leave your mark, you have so many reasons to be confident, and your spirit buzzes with self-assured magic, now mark out your path and let your loved ones follow.

There is much to enjoy, your light burns brightly, and all there’s left to do is make the most of it. 

Ace of Cups Future and Outcome

In rocky terrain and under extreme weather conditions, it is a determined and persistent nature that ensures a safe return to the haven of the home. In your life right now there are storms to be endured but your continued efforts will soon be rewarded with clear sunny skies and a double rainbow of opportunity. 

The Ace of Cups smiles warmly at the future position, it foretells of big wins and sweet successes, these rewards will be as delicious as a freshly plucked peach on a warm summer’s day. 

It is the struggle and the climb which make the views of victory all the more rewarding, keep this idea in your heart when it seems the future you’ve been promised is a distant mirage, soon you will see such elating panoramic views it will seem like your beautiful future stretches out endlessly.

 Your most trying test will be the one you face within yourself: when things become difficult and confusing, will you keep pressing on? It may take time, but if you do, you can be confident the rewards will far outweigh the struggle, the rainbow is most vivid after the darkest clouds have cleared. 

Ace of Cups Love Reconciliation

Your love life is about to enter spring, a period of renewal and freshness; where the sun’s rays open the flowers; where the dead rises again to become full of life once more. Flames that have become embers will reignite and spark so that they burn brightly in orange, yellow and red flames - the colors of passion will paint your love life with new, exciting colours. 

But wait, the Ace of Cups also carries a warning, for flames are good in a fireplace, but you must not let them catch fire in the rest of your house. In love, there are times for heady joy and thoughtless bliss, and times for cool-headed consideration. If your lover is true, you will soon find that managing these two areas will come as naturally as air to your lungs. Keep faith, and know that your cup is full of love and satisfaction, illuminating your life with happiness worth cherishing.

For those currently taking the path of life without a romantic partner, you will soon be joined by an intriguing and beautiful stranger, together, you will make the next steps of your life enhanced with feelings of love and admiration. How long your path will be shared remains unclear in this reading, but there is no doubt, regardless of the outcome, that you will both grow into better people through it. 

Ace of Cups As Feelings

Your thoughts dwell on the feelings of another, their actions may seem unclear on the surface but the Ace of Cups brings their true emotions to the surface with stunning clarity. There is attraction and intrigue, but like a child admiring a bees nest, there is also apprehension - your beauty is rich and golden, this is undeniable, the question which remains is - will your love sting? Now, the power flows to you - you must display with clear and simple actions your honesty of intent and nobleness of mind. Do not let your thoughts become caught up with playing games or mastering illusions, it is through your truest form that your beauty shines most bright - just like multi-colored pebbles at the bottom of a crystal clear lake. 

Ace of Cups As Friendship

Friends are the scaffolding in our lives, they support us through hard times and give us structure and beauty in our best moments. At this time, you are wondering how things may develop with the friends already in your life, the Ace of Cups brings good news, and there will be new friendships forged in your existing circles. 

Reconnection will spark bonds of companionship and you will find there are new supporters cheering you on through this chapter of your life, it will mark the start of a new page and you will find that your soul is filled with satisfaction. At the deepest level, friendships start with self-love, when you are comfortable in yourself you can be an even better friend to others - your own self-appreciation is a solid foundation on which your connection can be built high into the sky, standing as tall as a castle. 

Reversed Ace Of Cups Meaning

If you have received the Ace of Cups in the reversed position then you are being warned that your energy is being sucked out of you because of non-activity. You are bored and you need a change because you have allowed yourself to become too stagnant and are dealing with the emotional repercussions of that. You are depressed and unmotivated and there is a block in many key energy centers in the body.

Consider pursuing a good cleansing that will fine-tune and strengthen your chakras, particularly in the heart area as the Ace of Cups represents matters of the heart. You are also being weighed down in the genital and solar plexus areas. When you are not recognizing what life has to offer, because you have forgotten to practice gratitude, then you create a cycle in which you perpetuate unhappiness. Get yourself outside, get yourself active, clear up your chakras, and practice gratitude and you will find happiness.

Ace of Cups Reversed Love and Romance

The reversed Ace of Cups floats into your love reading when romance has become unsteady, you and your partner are rocking like a boat caught in a storm. The waters are choppy, feelings remain unexpressed and love is no longer reciprocated in equal harmony. In the distance, a past love lingers, distracting you from your course and making the storm all the more enduring and impossible to navigate. Your initial imaginings of romance were sweet and loving, like the loveliest dream, this contrast with reality leaves you feeling like your expectations are not being met.

Remember, people cannot completely change who they are but they may be able to change bad habits; that goes for both you, and your partner, you are fluid and ever-growing. If you are not in a relationship or have recently gone through a breakup, this card recommends time spent healing from the past, when your old wounds are sealed you will be strong enough to find a truly fulfilling relationship that won’t leave you with scars.

Ace of Cups reversed Family and Home

Here, you see the Ace of Cups reversed in relation to your family and home because you are going through a personal moment of turmoil. Never feel afraid to ask your family for support, they are your life-support through difficult times, and the ones who can give you space when you need time to recuperate alone. Take time away from domestic and family duties, and rediscover nature.

This will bring the pressure you’re experiencing down to a simmer, by focusing your attention on the beauty of the present moment, where all life flourishes and vibrates with deep spiritual wisdom. 

Practice familial honesty, let your loved ones know that you need their love and acceptance right now - and in the future, you are sure to return the gesture for them, too - but right now is a moment of personal survival, and your strength will be magnified by the haven of your home and unconditional love of your family members.

Ace of Cups Reversed Work and Finances

When the Ace of Cups presents itself reversed in this position it calls out feelings of dissatisfaction clouding your professional life, like grey clouds gathering over a once sunny sky. 

Your spark and drive may be missing, like an old car, you are finding you don’t the fuel to make the same journeys you once did. Money may be weighing heavily on your mind, sometimes in the form of debt and sometimes due to instability which leaves you feeling like a bird in a nest that might be blown away at any moment. 

You are enduring a period of stagnation and insecurity, moving forwards seems impossible and you cannot envision the road ahead. But the strategy will be your friend, now, turn to the power of your mind and unleash the potential of visualization - if you can see a way out, you can find a way out. Difficult times make way for better times to come; after a storm comes the most beautiful sunshine. 

Ace of Cups Reversed Health and Wellness

Your energy is sapped, and every day you awake with a feeling of flatness so that it feels like a heavyweight is pushing you back down. You may have lost the spring in your step, and, in some cases, could be dealing with the chronic exhaustion that’s making your world seem greyer than before.

 This reversed card tells you to build yourself back up with health practices. You must drink, once more, from the cup of prosperity - eat well and stay hydrated. 

If you are in a relationship, this card sometimes highlights problems with fertility and difficulties in conceiving which may also be impacting your peace of mind. Do not give up hope, instead, seek alternatives - speak to medical professionals and explore new paths. Sometimes our destination just takes a bit of re-routing before we can set a course.

Ace of Cups Reversed Personal Spirituality

Your spiritual journey has become stunted, you took a wrong turn and now it seems impossible to find the way back. Your sense of self has altered so that restoring balance seems an impossibility - your intuition has fled like a child, and though you hope to recapture it, you cannot summon the strength. 

Spiritual depression most commonly comes from distrust in the universe, but you must persevere and have faith; in a hurricane, standing still can be considered progress. Everyone suffers periods of difficulty and heartbreak, what will really make a mark on your life is whether you let these hard times define you or propel you forward.

There is strength in all emotions, even sadness, try and use that endurance to lift yourself out of this difficult time, and do not be scared to ask for support or space from others as and when it is necessary. Invest in your own spirituality and you will find you have much to achieve, discover, and enjoy in life yet - it’s all just around the corner.

The Empress Tarot Card Meaning

In all my readings this is a good card to draw. The Empress represents mothering love, an authority figure that is looking out for you and is often a kind guardian. She is wise and has attained her place in the hierarchy of the older tarot through her own missteps and finding her way. She has learned her lessons and is now in a position to bestow her wisdom upon you. This is usually a motherly representation in one way or another indicating that you need to look out for someone around you or that someone is looking out for you. She can be represented as an older woman with authority in her own right that has come from wisdom and experience.

The Empress also represents a pure form of extroverted abundance. If you have received this card in your reading, you are going to be well taken care of. You will get everything that you desire and more. The Empress sits on her throne made of cushion and revels in luxury and her station in life. She is depicted in the tarot with a field of wheat outstretched before her which is sacred to the Egyptian Goddess Isis. She wears a crown of twelve stars with six points, illustrating her control over the cosmos. The Empress card symbolizes the Land of Milk and Honey after a long journey of hard labor and introspection. She is the Universal Goddess: Isis Unveiled, fertile, strong and dynamic. She is also Venus, Goddess of love: plump and curvy, attracting wealth like a magnet. This woman is the epitome of female strength as well as a symbol of ultimate abundance. Your needs will be fulfilled with joy and satisfaction. There is no need to fear. Having the Empress on your side is like having a fierce mother, protecting you always. Receiving this card in your reading means that you are making the right decision, that you are supported, and that there is a vast array of possibility for abundance currently transiting around you. Many rewards are coming your way.

The Empress, governed by so many feminine energies is pure emotion and deep intuitive understanding. The lessons that you have learned in your life will now continue to benefit you. As apply what you learn, you will reap the benefits of emotional rewards. She encourages you to express unfiltered emotions because you can, and because you have earned the right to do so.

The Empress In Love

When the Empress shows herself in a reading about Love whoever you are thinking about ADORES you. So be prepared to go through a cycle of being worshipped. Everyone wants to be close to you because you are The God/Goddess of Love. How can they resist you? It is practically impossible. This is your time to say what you want exactly the way that you want it and have others rush to your side to provide it. Take this time to be a little selfish; do not compromise your beliefs or your integrity for anyone that isn’t similar to you. Take this opportunity to attract someone fantastic, that matches your energy, and let it happen. Now is the time.

The Empress As Feelings

As I have said above if someone feels the empress towards you they adore you. They are going in with an open heart and generous spirit, the Empress tarot card speaks to us of a connection that is deeply honest and honoring. She means to “feel adored” and accepted by another person on a soul level, as if they hold you thought dear, respect and care for each of your needs. 

The Empress Love Reconciliation

Yes, you will likely get back together this is commitment, beauty, happiness, and, of course, the starting of a family. There’s a real feeling here, and pregnancy. If you are single, a new romance is likely to blossom. 

The Empress in Health

When the Empress comes up with a reading where health is asked, she is telling you that you have been working too hard and it is time stop and smell the roses. You likely are in a place where you can enjoy the rewards of your hard efforts and look upon them from a comfy chair overlooking the ocean and be pleased with what you have been able to accomplish. The act of healing from a busy time is just as important as any other preventative measure one to protect their health.

When stress is allowed to eat at the body, it begins to disintegrate. The Empress informs you that you need to give yourself the time off that you deserve so that you can have the perspective of a job well done. The Empress also weighs in on reproductive health. If you are trying to get pregnant or are pregnant, this card bodes well for you because you have her support. If you are trying to increase circulation or need to focus on feminine issues, the Empress will help you.

The Empress in Work, Money, Business, Career, and Wealth

Take or plan a vacation and enjoy the moment rather than constantly trying to find ways to make more money. Often this card will pop up when you are at risk of spreading yourself too thin. Do not make large decisions regarding change of employment or financial issues. If you are seeking work, the Empress says that it is going to take time. Even in the most dire situations, there are solutions that can be found and likely others that are willing to help you get on your feet until a more productive air is around you. As the empress is connected to the earth element in work she brings with her a nurturing move on the part of an employer or employee. Something is delicate, almost born. It can mean that you might be aiming high but you need time to develop yourself. The empress also indicates that one must be guided firmly but surely if contemplating a new career path.

The Empress Advice

The advice of this card is to be who you are and stop asking for permission. That's the message. She chooses and then builds and if someone does not like what she built they do not tear it down. I always find in this card, if you plant something in life it will be good for you in time. Whatever decision you are circling now, there is no information shortage going on right now. The Empress in advice is like your grandmother telling you to just do it.

The Empress Yes Or No

This card for this position is a yes. The Empress is connected to positive outcomes and new beginnings. In questions regarding fertility or pregnancy, this card carries extra meaning; your answer is it will happen, and there is very likely to be a baby in your future. 

The Empress Past

The Empress highlights a significant female figure from your past, she walked through the pages of your history like a leader, leaving her mark and paving the way for you. She might have been maternal, she might have been an equal, whatever the case, did she teach you lessons that you are now ignoring? This card may also appear in your past position when an opportunity you seized in the past has come good in the present. Seeds do not grow overnight but instead, they must be cared for and watered in order to become something more. The card reminds you that hard work is worth it, even when the rewards lie further down the road than you’d like. 

The Empress Present 

And something new is coming! The thing I want to remind you is that you don't have to be BRAVE in the way you think brave looks. No need to charge forward with a sword, as the Empress wears no sword. Yes, she really grows things, she is strong but not loud. I often find this can signify a real women in life. It's the woman who keeps the whole family together and nobody notices until she stops. So stop figuring out what this new thing is. She needs soil and time and the will to keep going when nothing is visible yet. Seeds are already in the ground. And here I am telling you that you were the one who planted them.

The Empress Future and Outcome

All I can say is massive abundance is coming.  It is a sign something will blossom into something much, much more; it could be a personal ambition, a new relationship or stage of commitment with a loved one, or simply a change in location and lifestyle. 

The Empress As Friendship

For friendship, this is having real friends for once. If you are seeing this card, you are an important part of that balance so keep on doing what you’re doing and the happiness within your friendships will continue to fill each of you with gratitude and joy. If you have broken a friendship or had problems with a female then this is a kind of healing card. Things are going to work out. 

Reversed Empress In A Reading

The Empress in the reversed position, in my view, is symbolic of infertility, inconclusiveness, lack of abundance and confusion as well as instability and sometimes financial issues. It can also be a female that is starting to really ANNOY you. This happens when one is too caught up in attempting to make everything perfect and there is never any rest to gather what was. This also means that you need to use caution in your spending habits so as to not flitter away financial resources.

Take care to set up a nest egg for yourself so that you might be prepared should something go wrong. Question your poverty mindset and your feelings toward money or abundance. Do you feel worthy of relaxation? Of reaping the benefits that you have sown after hard work? Do you feel as though it is impossible to catch up? Ask the Empress to help heal your poverty mindset so that you can reap the benefits of the abundance that she has to offer you.

The Empress Reversed - Love and Romance

Your relationship is tricky right now this card drawn means the lover is both tender and sad at the same time. It could be that you fight over little stuff. Maybe somebody gets mad about nothing. This often occurs when we realize something has gone, or that you forgotten to love each other. The Empress reversed also carries warnings of a love that has resulted in some hardness and lack of empathy. For some of you, you and your partner may have been arguing or ignoring opportunities to be tender and loving with one another.

The Empress reversed - Family and Home

Thsi card can sometimes end up in spreads  when the maternal figure of the family has been too busy or occupied to take on her normal role as the carer and nurturer of the family. If this figure is usually you (reversed), then it is worth refocussing your attention. Remember that communication and affection are two of the most important things in any happy, healthy family talking.

The Empress Reversed - Work and Finances

I often see this when someone's career has become dull and unfulfilling, it may not be awful, but like bread without butter, it’s far from ideal. Sometimes we can improve things without making huge changes, we just need to look at things in a new light and keep an open mind to see the possibilities before us. 

The Empress Reversed - Health and Wellness

Remember that the best way to break out of a lull of energy is to force yourself to get more active and reignite your passion for life, through movement and the great outdoors. This card has a connection with nature, and when reversed it may highlight that a person is spending too much time indoors and away from the natural world, are the four walls closing in? For women trying to have a baby, this card reversed often suggests complications or issues with infertility. Go to your doctor for a check-up to see what your situation is. 

The Empress Reversed - Personal Spirituality

The Empress reversed points to a crossroads of the true spiritual path. You may have allowed yourself to disconnect from your spiritual journey, sometimes the daily bustle of life gets in the way of the deeper meaning that sits behind everything. This card reversed urges you not to get caught up in the mundane things in everyday life.

The Two Of Cups Tarot Card Meaning

The Two of Cups in the Tarot is one of the favorite ‘feel good’ cards that exist in the whole deck.

This card is similar to the Lovers card, but just to a smaller or less intense degree. This card is one of friendship, or of blossoming romance. If you have received this card then the energy of love, as a nurturing, spiritual, creative energy is blessing your circumstances. This is a card of fulfillment that is equal to that of the person or situation that you are encountering. More often than not, this is a card that specifically references another person.

A loving embrace, two souls intertwined like ivy - this scared union is the cornerstone of a natural affinity to another human being. Love blossoms, and souls stir with feelings of affection and mutual understanding. Are you nurturing this relationship, could you be doing more? This card revels in meaningful connection - often it’s romantic - but it isn’t always. Feel with your soul the one who makes your heart flutter, who illuminates the best parts of you like a double rainbow lining the sky. Now is the time to extend your hand and open your creative mind, creating and communicating will bring you wonderful things and greater levels of prosperity. 

If you are wondering whether or not the new person that you have just met is going to be ‘the one,’ this card is saying that there is a genuine possibility of a beautiful friendship that could blossom into a romance. With this card, it is saying that you are on the same page with this person in multiple ways. You feel an almost kindred connection to them naturally.

The image on the Two of Cups shows two young people who are making a vow of affection to one another. They each hold a cup that is full of all of the good things in life. What more could a person ask for? This kind of friendship is one that most of us hope to find at one point or another. Some of us confuse the desire for sex with the desire for this kind of relationship, but it is not the same at all. It is somewhat easier in a sense to connect with someone sexually then it is to have this kind of ultimate connection with another person. In fact, many of us are afraid of this very connection.

However, here you are being welcomed to entertain the concept of having a soul mate in your life. This is a relationship to be honored, and it is one that develops over time. The serpent in the card represents the balance between good and evil and above them is a lion which indicates that carnal desires have begun to take wind. Again, this isn’t as obvious as the Lover’s Card, whose Union is unquestionable. This is the card that feels like the beginning of all new relationships. It is giddy, intense and exciting, even nerve-wracking. Together with this person you will achieve a great many things. The feeling of being simultaneously special to someone else is mind blowing. This is a very exciting time for you. Like a sun rise, love is awe inspiring, nurturing and beautiful.

Individually you are a very charismatic, compassionate person; you even understand the importance and healing power that is love especially in relation to other people. Another dimension to this card is its connection to the spiritual universe. When one experiences love, it raises our vibrations up. We get a spring in our step and we become so grateful for every little thing. Connect with Higher Source Energy in love and you will go far.

Some of us do not have an easy time allowing the entrance of someone else into our experience, especially if the relationship has the potential to be something great, worthwhile and fulfilling for a life time. However, choosing to love is an active experience. By recognizing the choices that you have, you are showing the universe what you can handle. Give yourself a chance to be vulnerable with someone, to open up the channels of communication and feel free to explore realms of happiness that you never thought possible.

This card is symbolic of a great number of possibilities; Love, proposals, engagement, marriage, and partnerships. One on one friendship, recognition of interesting and talented aspects of the self. Relationships develop, person to person.

The Two of Cups in Love

The Two of Cups is, in essence, a very loving card. It bares tidings of a lucky romantic future very clearly. This love could range from romantic love to a friend's love, to family love. But in this category, if you have done a reading on love or relationships, you will be happy to know that this bodes very well for you. If this card has arrived it means that if you haven’t met someone that you share this kindred energy with yet, you will very soon. And you will know it when you meet them because suddenly you will connect intimately on an intellectual level, then spiritually and of course physically. But remember, this is not the kind of relationship that moves fast. This relationship is a slow-moving, one that gets better with age like a fine wine. Do not push the envelope, take it slow, and give this experience time to blossom. You deserve to have a lovely experience, so have some fun with it.
