Acht der Kelche

SchwungEmotionWasser

Aufrecht

Im Reich der Gefühle, der Bindungen und der inneren Gezeiten ist dies Meisterschaft durch Wiederholung und Bewegung. Begegne ihr mit der Ehrlichkeit des Wassers, und sie bewegt sich schnell.

Umgekehrt

Umgekehrt kehrt sich die Strömung der Kelche nach innen: Bewegung ohne Richtung. Benenne es klar, und die Blockade löst sich auf.

In der Liebe

In love this card asks for honesty before comfort. Momentum is the theme, and it will not be negotiated away.

In Arbeit und Geld

Professionally it warns against effort spent on the wrong field. Audit before you push harder.

Der Ratschlag
