The Prince of Cups
Men represented by this card are complex and powerful
beings. They are self-contained - even secretive -
giving an impression of calmness and serenity. However
under that veneer they can often be intense and
volatile. They tend to hide their deepest passions,
and to protect them fiercely.
They are often creative - artistically or musically
inclined, and have deep involvement in these areas.
Many of the more successful artists and musicians in
our lives would come up as a Prince of Cups.
Emotionally they can sometimes be turbulent and moody,
but can also often hide their emotions and refuse to
share them with others. However, having a highly
developed sensitivity to emotional ups and downs, they
will identify yours even before you have. Talking to
somebody like this about emotional matters is usually
a rewarding experience, because they are highly
perceptive and use their intuition readily.
If this card comes up to indicate an alteration in a
person's behaviour, it will generally indicate a man
moving into a new romantic relationship and feeling
somewhat troubled by this. The Knight is the card that
comes up to indicate a man happily falling in love.
Look for surrounding cards to clarify whether any
misgivings are justified - for instance, the Moon or
the 7 of Cups would be warnings of danger; also look
at whether cards like the 7 of Swords or the 7 of
Disks come up - these may indicate inner personal
worries that will only cause problems if allowed to.
Working with the Prince of Cups
This card represents the watery quality of air, and as
such brings a very important life principle to our
experiences when it rules the day. It teaches us about
how to shape our desires into realities, and offers a
powerful supportive energy to assist us.
As we've said so often, the things that we wish
hardest for, invest most energy into, manifest in our
lives. This is why it is so crucial to be vigilant and
watchful about the way we're thinking and feeling. If
we sink into negativity, and empower that feeling with
strong emotions like loneliness, grief or suffering we
inadvertently introduce even more negativity into our
lives.
Likewise, when we want something strongly enough, and
charge that desire with our longing, our hope, our
positive energy we will find that thing manifesting
for us. This card teaches us how to do this.how to
explore our dreams, our desires, our wishes and to
propel them into everyday life.
The things we work with can be material, emotional or
spiritual - the Prince of Cups works with desire on
all levels. All we have to do is wish hard enough. And
his energy will help us to achieve our aims.
So on a day ruled by him, select one thing that you
really really want, and spend a little time
visualising it, imagining what it would feel like to
have it, or experience it, and then gather all your
strong feelings up into a bundle and push them out
into the Universe..
Stay alert, over the four weeks which follow, for
signs that you are moving closer to your goal, or have
already achieved it. Some things will take longer than
others.but as long as you keep your hopes high for
that particular wish, it will eventually wing its way
back to you.
Affirmation: I create my life daily and build my
future.
