Card of the Day - Nov 15, 2011

Today's card is the 4 of Cups depicted by the story 'Why the Sea Moans'. The water shows chaos and reflects conflicts within our being. The snake is trapped in the sea of the unconscious, unable to resurface to the conscious world. The cups are unfilled and they remain upright in the water. There is still hope that they will be filled in the future, but right now there is an emptiness. The princess Dionysia is blessed with sparkles of illumination but she is stifled by fear and resignation. Sometimes we get caught up in situations that reduce our spirit and diminish our abilities to face challenges. Sometimes we need to take a step away from a problem so that we can understand how to tackle it.
