The five of cups was the growing energy card for this week in Monday’s Energy path reading. Now that the week ahead is mostly the week behind and we are looking forward to the weekend, let’s see what’s going on with the growing energy.
The vibe of it feels steady now. Yesterday’s one card reading, the Devil, puts this card into better perspective. The negative connotations of the Five of Cups are sometimes imposed from the outside more than they are experienced from the inside.
It’s the Addams Family. It’s goth.
It’s like seventeenth century philosopher Barauch Spinoza said – any objective thing can be viewed as good, bad or indifferent all at once.
Things that some might consider dark, brooding, melancholy or even evil or devilish, others consider to be their comfort zone. The “dark and melancholy” is a place of comfort and happiness.
Who are we to judge?
It’s far better to ask how you can help rather than just assume something is wrong in the first place.
Today the card brings to mind both the Addams Family and their unabashed enjoyment of their own life and lifestyle – and the Cure song “A Forest”. While I am a Cure fan from way back, I keep mentally hearing the iconic guitar notes, so that must be some sort of intuitive clue, or at least a confirmation of the “indulge your inner goth” vibe of today’s card.
I think the carry away message of all of this is to reassure everyone that you are not a bad person just for having a shoe-gazey emo kind of day.
Even professional performers don’t have to be up and on point every minute of every day. You don’t have to be up and talkative all the time either.
Melancholy and moody is a human experience. It’s practically the definition thereof. Have a good mope if you feel like it.
Just don’t take it out on all the bright and chipper extroverts out there. They can’t help it they are cheerful.
Enjoy your weekend, whatever mood or mode it comes in. Now I’m going to go listen to one of my new favorite goth bands, Vision Video.
Back Monday for a new look at the next week ahead.
See you at the next Sip!
