The Pouring Cup

FOUR OF CUPS (reversed): Upright, this is a card of blocked or complicated communication and unrequited emotions. Reversed, this lets us know that this is a good energy environment to express yourself. Let the emotions flow, let your heart lead the way. Allow the natural flow of things to bring the things you most need to you.

Wayne Dyer describes this as an allowing sort of mindset. The energy, emotion and prosperity of the universe is always flowing. Often it is a matter of allowing ourselves to be a part of it.

I ‘hear’ “blessings flow” which is odd considering how twitchy my exvangelical self gets around religious language. I suspect this abundant, prosperous, joyful sort of energy is what was meant with the phrase “my cup runneth over” Cups can run out, or the pouring withheld (as with the upright sense of the card. Personally I prefer the more infinite and inexhaustible and objective “the universe provides”

We haven’t been seeing very many reversed cards lately, so it is probably worth a word about that part of it. Some people read a reversed card as its opposite, usually darker and more negative meaning. Reversed means the card is upside down relative to the person doing the reading. If you are watching from across the table it is upright for you. It is for exactly that reason that I seldom read much into the fact that a card is reversed. It depends on your perspective. I typically keep all facets of a card in mind, and just view the card as generally blocked or hampered or challenged when it turns reversed. In this case it seems very opposite-meaning because the card is about blockage in the first place. It’s like a double negative. Something that blocks blockage is something that allows flow.

In this simple layout is almost like a sentence: what it is and what it does – more accurately what you can DO with the collective energies around us all today. Actions eases worries, in this case worries about relationships or connections with people.

The ship hints at a time of prosperity & progress. The emphasis is on progress, on forward movement. The ship implies smooth sailing, much like with the smooth waters / go with the flow collective energy I’ve seen lately with the Six of Swords in collective and private readings alike.

The bouquet hints at affection and, more importantly, showing it. Not is not the time to bottle up feelings. If you feel kindness, compassion, love, amusement, or any good thing – now is the time to show it. Show it in no uncertain terms.

If you feel less pleasant things, show that too. Yes, by all means, communicate those feeling too, but the key here is to show it with emotional maturity and kindness. The Bouquet card with its pretty flowers reminds us of those wise old adages: “You catch more flies with sugar than with vinegar.” and “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.”

Again the phrase “emotional maturity” comes to mind. Pitch kindness, not a fit. A little calmness and reason will go a long way for you in this energy environment.

The outer world may be chaos, but it is a good time to show love and kindness. If it is returned, soak it in. Even when it is unrequited, you can feel good about loving in the first place. That moment, that feeling existed and added to the good in the world and still does.

When you love, you win.

There! I fixed it for him.

Sage Sips blog is Tarot in the time it takes to sip your coffee

I am LOVING this cooler weather, which means its cool enough to fire up the oven and bake something.

​Believe it or not life isn’t all Tarot and out there in the world is where the rubber meets the road with intuitive and psychic learning. What’s the good of it if it doesn’t make everything else a little better? And Tarot can’t make other stuff better if there is no other stuff in the conversation. 

I promised you occasional exclusive content, and I want to make good on that promise…with some non-Tarot fun stuff. This month’s “ko-fi challenge” is to share things that give you creative joy. You already know the creative joy of Tarot. Now I’d like to share some of the other little things that bring joy – creative and otherwise – to life for me. It may bore you to tears, and it certainly isn’t the right thing for everyone. I’m sharing these things not because you should do them, but as a little incantation – a little wish that you find the things that bring the same joy to you whatever that joy-bringer is for you. Today, my joy-bringer is baked tater tot hot dish

Y’all know my politics, especially if you follow me on Threads (also reverted to the @TaoCraft handle) And if there is any way on earth to entice me to donate to a political campaign it would be to offer a recipe in return. So who am I to turn down a chance to peep Tim Walz’ hot dish recipe. 

Not disappointed in the donation one bit, but the recipe needed a little work. Sorry Tim, but if I have beer in the house Imma drinking it, not boiling onions and brats in it. But it does have plenty of cheese which is the important thing.

Every time I hear them give a speech or see them interact with the public, the more I appreciate, respect both Vice President Harris and Governor Walz. I mean listen to them and LOOK at their eyes and faces. This is real deal compassion and leadership. Governor Walz is amazing and does a million things super well, but I suspect cooking isn’t one of them. Hopefully Kamala will sort that detail out. I am 100% down with her turkey roasting method that went social media viral in 2020. Put those two in charge PRONTO.

All politics aside (sort of – vote Harris/Walz!!!!) here is my tweeked-up practically unrecognizable version of his hot dish recipe available on https://store.kamalaharris.com/tim-walzs-new-ulm-hotdish-recipe-digital-download/ 

Please donate if you can while you are there. It truly is existential. If you have any regard for spirituality or Tarot or ANYTHING other than authoritarian white Christian nationalism, you are in their culture war cross hairs.  It is my deepest wish that we all have a happy, healthy, prosperous, well-fed future from this present moment on.
