Cosmic Tribe Tarot
PRINCESS OF CUPS
Oh beautiful ephemeral sea maiden we love you. Look at how gracefully you tread the waters of life. All around you free flows and lets go. Emotions pour through you like nourishing water: the milk of the sea. And the freedom to dance, the freedom to feel, all this and learning in your cocoon of calm waters how to be grounded by flying. The Princess of Cups is non-attachment to emotions that comes from letting go, feeling them, observing them, and continuing to let them go. For the Princess of Cups, emotions are meditations on how to experience the world purely in the moment as it happens. She releases possessiveness and jealously and expectations in her relationships with others. She is simply joy or anger or sadness or fear. The complexity in her face tells us she feels them deeply; laughing, crying and yelling as they happen and then moving on to the next experience which most likely involves dancing. Dancing on light in fields of waterflowers is her favorite way to express the boundless freedom she is heiress to. In her innocence she may break the hearts of those who try to possess her playful freedom. In the card, the flow of life passes in waves through the Princess of Cups. In her watery home, she plays with the fish who absorb the beaming light of her freedom and then dive to deeper waters where her light is needed. The cup below her, the wisdom of her body, has blossomed as a sign that she is applying the lessons of non-attachment. This basic lesson will continue to be her life's work as the world of emotions will provide her with many challenges. The full beauty of the flower reflects the full beauty in her smile capable of both deep sadness and true joy.
