Mystic Pull Tarot

Deck: Cosmobeings by Joanna Nelson 

Notice all the EYES in this artwork: you may have extra eyes on you this weekend, so take that into consideration!

Knight of Cups Rv:

This has been an emotional week! Ups and downs, crazy things careening left and right! The dramatics were on full display on every news station and social platform. If you’re feeling paralyzed, sensitive, reactive, it absolutely makes sense. Check your expectations of yourself and others to keep from overreacting to things out of your control.

Ace of Cups Rv:

That Knight of Cups Rv also knocked over your personal cup! This feels more like a stopping point than an opportunity. There’s that story of filling someone’s cup, but the thing lacking from that story is how to fill your own cup so you have something to give. This is a call to fill up your cup! Literally hydrate of course, but do something emotionally enriching – take in some outside inspiration from art, film, etc.

The Emperor:

Given the present circumstances and context from the other cards, I think this Emperor is aspirational. Emulate the divine masculine energy: stable, logical, responsible. Apply reasonableness to situations that stress you out. Draw on this archetype for inspiration when you feel impatient. Take the lead and influence others to keep calm and carry on when the situation warrants it.

Five of Swords:

If you do decide to fight it out, you will find it an empty victory. You might be able to prove you’re right, but you could lose out in other ways. The other interpretation that strikes me is this card may be reflecting our present reality in global conflict, as everyone can plainly see every one is a no-win situation. Either way, it might be weighing you down this week, so circle back to your Ace of Cups and The Emperor to guide you.
