The Tarot Oracle
The Tarot is a vocabulary of signs and symbols that, when used correctly, helps you to communicate with the universe, spirit, and God. You can go to your doctor for emergency medicine, your lawyer for legal advice, your mechanic for car troubles, and the internet for nutritional advice, but where do you go for answers you can't find elsewhere?
You might turn to God, whatever this means to you. But, sometimes, things get lost in translation. Sometimes, the stress of being a human on Earth can get in the way of hearing, understanding, or acknowledging the spiritual message.
Not to cross personal boundaries or rattle your cage, but each card in a deck of Tarot can be perceived as a personal message from God (your higher power, the creator, the force behind nature, pure energy, spirit, spirit guides, ancestors) and, as such, Tarot can be of immense value in helping you to decipher intuitive hunches, signs, dreams, and provide explanations regarding the unknown.
In many ways, pulling a Tarot card is like flipping a coin. It provides an insight or answer you can choose to agree or disagree with. However, unlike a coin toss, Tarot works through the energy you're expressing during a reading and can reveal answers, insights, and clarifications about any question or concern you may have through pictures, colors, and symbols.
If you've already requested an intuitive consultation or dabbled with Tarot, you likely recognize Tarot as a holistic tool to gauge your intuitive responses (or are beginning to). You probably already know each card in a deck of Tarot cards relates to specific aura colors, constitutional temperaments, health-related conditions, and holistic alternatives, such as corresponding herbs, oils, stones, and sense-based activities, which is why Tarot can be a self-empowering tool for transformation. Take the Queen of Cups, for example.
The Queen of Cups represents a real sweetheart, the wife of your dreams, the doting mother, the kind sister, or the young grandmother baking lavender cookies made with love. She has a positive demeanor, is approachable and very supportive, and is blessed with good health when upright. However, when she's reversed, she can be a drama queen, prone to insecurity, codependency, emotionalism, depression, and escapist behaviors.
The Queen of Cups' element is Water. So, naturally, water therapies, foods that honor her Phlegmatic temperament (or Blue foods, such as blueberries), and stones that contain her aura shades, ranging from blue to green (and a few pinks), will help restore her inner peace and physical balance.
Because this queen is filled with empathy and compassion for others and nature, fairness (justice) is one of her concerns. This card suggests that a loving attitude can go a long way in easing life's pains and promoting health and happiness.
Should you receive a Queen of Cups in a "reading", you can bet love is a part of the equation.
