Fortune and Five of Cups
As we enter a new month, the card of Fortune reminds us that we already have everything we need to take our next steps. The Five of Cups, however, suggests we need to release any negative energy we’re holding about our progress, as it may be keeping us from moving forward.
Our first card is Fortune, which shares the message of open possibilities. It reminds us that our lives are full of potential, and we can go in any direction. If we’ve been feeling stuck or questioning a move forward, this card is here for us.
We have the gifts, talents, and abilities to live the life we truly desire; we just have to say yes. Doubt and fear limit us, and Fortune asks us to examine the role they play in our choices. Our next card, the Five of Cups, emphasizes this.
Fortune asks us to align with our essential path and open our hearts to this energy. Allow the Universe to guide us where we need to go.
When Fortune comes up, it’s a time of powerful vibrations and poignant signs. Look for symbols and messages calling you to your most authentic self.
This card also points to the illusion of control. Humans want to be the sole creators of our destiny. We want power over the world around us and to make sense of it all through reason and rules.
But Fortune calls us to connect with a deeper knowing. The animal symbols on the card do this exceptionally well.
Animals show us that we cannot control the world, but we can let the world and seasons guide us. With this faith, we walk a path that brings us a calm sense of certainty. We connect to our instinct and intuition and are in flow with creation.
Maybe through a quiet walk or meditation, make time for messages and signs to come through by quieting your being and opening your heart. We will end this week feeling more connected and guided through this energy.
Our second card this week is the Five of Cups. This card comes up in times of emotional sensitivity. We see five empty cups, representing feelings of depletion. Decaying water lilies and their knotted roots symbolize our inner troubles below the surface.
Our disappointment, reflected in this card, can take many forms—disappointment with ourselves, others, or the world itself. Maybe we are disappointed with certain people in our lives. Perhaps we had high expectations, and things didn’t turn out the way we wanted. Maybe we feel overwhelmed by all the suffering in the world.
The Five of Cups asks you to feel your feelings. It tells you it is okay to feel disappointed; it is part of the human experience. Let yourself cry, write down your thoughts, and really grieve.
However, if you look closer at the roots at the bottom of the card, you will see something else: a butterfly. The Five of Cups message is that pain can be our catalyst for change and fuel our metamorphosis.
When a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, it digests parts of itself. Cells turn the liquid material inside the cocoon into the butterfly’s eyes, wings, and other structures. It is truly remarkable.
The Five of Cups calls us to digest our pain and become something new. We can be our own version of a butterfly, transforming into something beautiful from all that came before.
This week, our cards bring a transformational force. They show us how to move through our emotions and remind us that we have everything we need to move forward with wisdom.
Mantra for the week: I release what was, embrace what will be, and trust that good fortune flows to me.
