Sulis
A figure sits huddled in the middle of this card. He has his knees drawn up to his chest and his arms are wrapped around his knees.
The background colour is a lovely pale blue and a golden cup stands in each corner of the card.
He looks withdrawn and as if he is trying to feel safe.
Fours are stable.
They give us walls and boundaries as well as foundations.
They are logical and disciplined.
They give us a pause, a chance to consolidate what we've done so far.
They're the sort of pause that we don't want to stay too long in because we know that we'll get stuck.
Cups contain and represent the element of water.
Water likes to flow.
It also likes to sit still but not for too long or it becomes stagnant and smelly.
Water is reflective and takes on the form of whatever vessel holds it.
Water and Earth together make mud.
Water and Earth don't seem to me to work that well with each other.
This card says that we have emotional stability and that's a good thing but too much of a good thing is bad. Too much emotional stability can make us feel stuck, withdrawn, bored, as if we need to break free and start to flow again.
So this guy feels safe but maybe safety isn't what he needs, maybe he needs to get up and stretch himself, take a few chances and live a bit.
