What should I know about today?

The presence of The High Priestess in this position suggests you may be overdoing things today. Perhaps you are pushing yourself to finish something or are giving yourself unnecessary tasks to do because you don't want to think of yourself as lazy or underachieving. You may be feeling a bit overwhelmed or even confused as a result. The High Priestess warns us against doing things for the sake of it, reminding us that it is important to balance our achievements with quiet time for reflection and for listening to our inner voice. This will help to direct us in doing not just anything but to do the 'right' thing.

In need of greater calm

If the High Priestess could speak she would probably say something like "People are always trying to do so much these days. We are not human 'doings' but human 'beings'!" Yet she doesn't speak, she only listens. She is a woman of God who sits in silence and contemplation. She seeks understanding and looks for the greater meaning behind everything. The card reminds us that there are times when it is better not to act, but instead observe and only make a move when we really know what's going on. If we preoccupy ourselves only with activity and fill our lives with things to do, we risk missing out on the deeper aspects of our life and hearing the call which tells us who we really are and why we're here.

How should I approach this day?

Receiving the Page of Cups in this position advises you to be open to what your intuition is telling you. If you cannot feel clear guidance from within, this may be the result of some stuck emotions leaving you a bit confused as to where you are and where you are going. You may as a result be finding it hard to make choices, because you don't trust your intuition or gut feeling anymore. In order to reverse this situation you will need to unblock these emotions and be more open and honest about how you are feeling, even if it is difficult to admit to yourself. By doing this you will open the doors again to your creative potential and get back on track to manifesting your dreams. If you find yourself meeting interesting new people the card asks you to be open with them. Think of each one of them as potentially being able to share great secrets, gifts, truths and insights with you. Any problems you have may be transformed as a result.

Follow gut instincts towards new horizons

The Page of Cups is the card of instinct, gut feeling and following where your heart tells you to go. It speaks of romance and a honeymoon period in our relationships. It also represents new beginnings, dreams coming to life and following your inner guidance to new horizons and possibilities. The Page of Cups contains a youthful essence, indicating qualities such as flamboyance, sensitivity and naivety. The card speaks of a great emotional intelligence and an ability to read others' feelings with ease and care. In essence it represents being in touch with one's emotions, sensitive side and intuition. The Page of Cups is an exciting card. It represents a spirit of adventure—the magic carpet which can take us wherever we want to go, and places we aren't even aware we want to go! This may happen through surprise connections. This is something we all may have experienced at some point: we meet the right people at the right time; we find ourselves engaged in the right conversations; we experience common goals and shared beliefs with others. All of these coincidences can provide us with clearer direction for our lives. The Page of Cups is deeply connected to this synchronicity within life. This combination of inner emotional intelligence and outer social intelligence, if we can be attuned to it, enables us to flow easily with life and make many dreams come true!

What is the true potential of this day?

Receiving the King of Wands in this position predicts you will find a level of greatness in your life today. The seeds of this greatness can be found within you now and will simply need to be acknowledged and realized. If you work at it, any previous setbacks or negative experiences can be drawn upon to help you become more successful in your life. Your philosophy and world view will change as a result, so that you can become a great example to others of inner strength, bravery and creativity.

Leadership and accomplishment coming

The King of Wands represents boldness, originality and forthrightness. He speaks of a part of us which is adventurous and powerful, willing to take risks and inspire others to follow. This is the sign of the great leader within us—the powerful King who can conquer anything he sets his mind to. Something to look out for with this sort of personality, however, is an accompanying feeling of omnipotence, which can often resemble more a child than a great warrior. We may think sometimes that we are all-powerful, able to achieve anything—but we would be wise, when feeling this way, to remember that none of us is omnipotent. We all experience knocks and we all have our Achille's Heel.
