Nature connection prompt: Elder of Cups

...because we are nature

Even if you’ve not been around for long, you know by now that I’m somewhat of an aqua-baby, so I love the underwater vibes of this card.

But before I share my reflections or the interpretation from the Spacious Tarot guidebook, what does it mean to you?

What does the image say to you?

What does the little fish swimming up to the cup on the surface make you think of?

What might a fish represent in your life at the moment? Or the idea of swimming – or depth or submersion?

Is there any significance to the fact both the underwater realm and the above-ground mountainscape are pictured?

What might the colours used in this card mean?

In Tarot, an elder is the highest card (a ‘king’ in other decks) and Cups represent your emotional experience – what might being an ‘elder’ of emotions, feelings and matters of the heart feel like?

If nothing is resonating so far, take a few deep breaths and take your time.

Do you have any bodies of water nearby that you could visit – can you get underwater and see how it feels?! What do you notice both during that experience and on your way there and back?

Sometimes moving out of thinking and into writing or speaking can open up new ideas, so try journalling – either in a notebook or into your phone’s dictaphone app.

Don’t be tempted to scroll down until you have captured at least some of your own thoughts…. The intention here is to connect with your own inner nature.

All done…?

Really…?!

Okay.

What comes up for me

I think I was reassuring myself as much as you in the above, because as I type this sentence, I’m not sure yet, so I’m going to take my own advice and use this space to journal and see what comes up…
