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.

KNIGHT OF CUPS
Attribution - Libra-Scorpio Cusp (20 degrees Libra to 20 degrees Scorpio)
Samhain, Halloween, all Hallows. This area of the sky includes most of
Virgo, including the star Spica, and most of Bootes, including the
star Arcturus. Also includes the constellations of Libra and
Centaurus. This section of the zodiac, from Libra to Scorpio, is
called the Via Combusta, the Burning Way, and is considered unlucky
(Liz Hazel)
Cups is the suit of emotion, inner states, feelings, relationships,
memories, spiritual experiences. This suit talks about friendship,
family, love and happiness. The cup is the container of something
sacred. It is the suit of artists, musicians, creativity, healing,
imagination. In it's negative form it can represent anger, resentment,
misunderstandings, hurt, pain, rejection, disputes, divorce, conflict,
inconsiderate behaviour.
Rider-Waite Imagery
Court cards can represent your personality, someone close to you and
situations you find yourself in. Usually they describe all three at
once.
The knight sits on a white (spirit) horse. He is holding a golden cup
in one hand. His armor (Mars) is covered in fish (water). His helmet
has wings (mercury) on it. There is a desert in the background. A
stream (emotions) runs through it and there are cliffs (limitations,
boundaries) in the background.
The Knight is emotional support in action. He is like the King of
Cups. He is concerned with providing emotional support but he is much
more active. He is traveling to people to help them out, helping them
find their emotional home.

This week's words

gascon
A.Word.A.Day with Anu Garg
gascon
PRONUNCIATION:
(GAS-kuhn)
MEANING:
noun: A braggart.
adjective: Boastful.
ETYMOLOGY:
After Gascon, a native of the Gascony region in France, from the
stereotype of Gascons as boasters. Earliest documented use: before
1771.
NOTES:
Were people from Gascony full of boasts and bravado? Not necessarily.
Historical rivalries lead one people to generalize others' names as
having some shortcoming and some of those names become part of the
language. Other examples of such words are solecism, Boeotian, and
fescennine.
USAGE:
"Here indeed the King of Cornwall plays the gascon, not the King of
Little Britain."
John Wesley Hales and Frederick James Furnivall (eds.); Bishop Percy's
Folio Manuscript: Ballads and Romances; 1867.
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to
keep an appointment with a beech-tree, or a yellow birch, or an old
acquaintance among the pines. -Henry David Thoreau, naturalist and
author (1817-1862)
