The King of Cups…

I asked the question “Why?” today when I pulled our card. In true bad question form, I wasn’t entirely specific - I just asked “Why” with no real sense of content. So, I’ll put it out there with the idea that perhaps you needed this information? If the question is why today, the answer is because either you or they crave a very energizing kind of emotional control. There is a sense from this card that, in your situation, a wilder need to own the very essence of another is at play. This kind of deep addiction to what another person has to offer is definitely thrilling, but can be quite dangerous. When it feels as if your very existence depends on sucking the life from another, you must stop to be sure you haven’t lost all sense of self. Conversely, if you find yourself being consumed by another, though it can be fun for a bit, eventually you will have to pry yourself free and release them to fly off into the night. Emotional mastery almost always calls for boundaries, so grab your garlic. You may even need to sharpen that stake.
