The Five of Cups…

“Star light, Star bright, I wish I may, I wish I might….” Wishes are such a dangerous thing - aren’t they? On one hand, they are a source of pure hope and unfettered potential - on the other hand they can prove to be the bottomless well of our deepest disappointments. This week, we may find ourselves being drawn into the dark cavernous descent of that very brand of sorrow. It’s important that, when we become ensnared by that stagnated water, we do not lose a connection with our pure and potent magic. We must fight to pull ourselves from the weight of it, because we are born to run free with grace and nobility. Let us not sink into the depths of despair and become numb and despondent, but rather face our past defeats with poise and elegance. In order to move forward, it’s imperative that we free ourselves from self-pity and sorrow. We are, after, true magic makers and there is magic yet to make.

“Nothing is lost. . .Everything is transformed.”
