I did a Body-Mind-Spirit reading after an unpleasant intercourse with a person which made me feel used and very bad about myself and my values, I asked what are the consequences of that experience? Deck: Hanson Roberts In the body position appeared Queen of Cups Rx, LWB describes: inconsistency of honor, possible immorality, dishonest, unreliability, Vice. I can understand those definitions put into the "the body is the temple of the spirit" context and I really feel bad, so presence of cups and swords in the reading were not unexpected. BUT what would this card mean under a physical point of view? Thank you for your help.

Are the upset emotions making you sick to your stomach, for example?

If we view Queen/Cups astrologically as, she's usually viewed as Scorpio. Which is, I'm afraid, the sex organs or just lower half. I think SongDeva's on the right track and you should include in that the stomach or intestines. Not to get too personal but, um, has something run dry thanks to feelings of depression or sadness?

Thank you very much for your comments to my post, I did not made the connection until you mentioned stomach, I had a bit of acidness (actually still have), as for "something" running dry... as a male I would be in serious trouble if that ever happened to me hehehhe :laugh: Thank again...

the queen of cups reversed is a liar, unfaithful lover, a slut, a follower. my first girlfriend was a queen of cups reversed. this woman has no capacity to say no. she is so intune with the sexual nature of men that she cant really control herself. she must absolutely flirt, or otherwise coktease every man that notices her, that she would spend any amount of time with. she will flirt with one guy to get out of a relationship with another. when she actually starts to really care about a guy, she will usually dump him. mostly from fear.

Now that Cartarum has shared about his experience with Queen of Cups Rx, I must add that beign in a situation like that which is not my usual scene was(is!) disturbuing, so the reading about the consequences could help me to understand and get rid of the unpleasant feelings I experienced. Tarot showed both consequence and cause in the same card... that is one of the reasons I love Tarot, amazement never ends.

The Queen of Cups often relates to intuition. In the Body position, it could mean that you're not listening to what your body is telling you.

Interesting point, Lumi. Flavio, when you encountered this person, and the opportunity to be together arose, did you have a feeling, again maybe in your stomach, that this wasn't what you wanted, or that it wasn't the right thing for you?

I'm not that naive to don't know what was happening... but the risk is one of the favorite spices in my life (of course measured and calculated) so any kind of intuition was blocked by the risk emotion, and this was a good example of bad risk calculation. At the end of the day the risk wasn't worthwile and ended up feeling so bad, I've learn my lesson...

I was just reading over this and thought I would add another thought. Did you meet this person when you were under the influence of alcohol? Indeed, did the act happen whilst you were under the influence of alcohol? I sometimes think that the Queen of Cups (rx) can refer to a tendency to have drank too much booze. Maybe it refers to the hangover and the physical symptoms of hangover afterwards? Hehe.

I don't drink alcohol, sorry to be unable to confirm this interesting take on the card... but if there is such a thing like an "emotional hangover" I sure had it.

I have a comment regarding the structure of the spread you've used. I don't know how relevant the order of the cards in the spread is , but when I use it, I do MIND - BODY - SPIRIT, and not BODY - MIND - SPIRIT like you did. It may sound redundant, but this is how I interpret the cards: MIND - What's on your mind - thoughts, plans. BODY - The WAY YOU ACT it out SPIRIT - The spiritual lesson In this sense, card 2 - BODY, would be a development of card 1 - MIND, and from this perspective, the meaning of the card could have a different 'color' Just a thought...

[quote]Originally posted by Aun I don't know how relevant the order of the cards in the spread is , but when I use it, I do MIND - BODY - SPIRIT, and not BODY - MIND - SPIRIT like you did First, thank you for your comment. This spread was meant to answer about the consequences of the experience, and not as a general M-B-S reading, positions were assigned like that from the beggining, I understand your intention to confirm the order of the cards. It may sound redundant, but this is how I interpret the cards: MIND - What's on your mind - thoughts, plans. BODY - The WAY YOU ACT it out SPIRIT - The spiritual lesson It's not redudant as it will help anyone else reading this thread. In this sense, card 2 - BODY, would be a development of card 1 - MIND, and from this perspective, the meaning of the card could have a different 'color' Would you share your take on the cards based on this new perspective, here again the cards: Queen of Cups Rx / Knight of Swords Rx / 9 of Wands The spriritual lesson remains the same (fight temptation, be strong :D) so one or another path to get there is very interesting for me. Thank you.
