http://www.rainringcards.com/Cards/Beauty/62.aspx
The image
The scene is of a big, old cherry tree in full bloom. It leans over water, upon which rests a small, open wooden boat. A cascade of pink blossom from the tree is falling into the water and the boat
The meaning
Beauty: male and female energies expressed in mutual harmony; a balance of this kind in communication between people.
A General
The magenta vibration, as we said, does not yet exist in the manifest universe. This means that Beauty is one of those cards whose energies or vibrations exist still only in a latent state. When it occurs in readings, it refers to a very ‘diluted’ form of Beauty as it will one day be. Beauty represents communication between male and female poles. This can refer to an inner process or an outer reality. Overall, the two will always develop in parallel, even if the emphasis is sometimes more on one or the other. It is important to be aware that in Rainring our principal use of the word Beauty is thus this special one, rather than the habitual, aesthetic one.
B Specific
One characteristic feature of Beauty is your inevitable tendency to look over your shoulder at the available escape routes from relationship. You miss the autonomy and freedom characteristic of being single. So you are pursuing this goal of communication beyond denial despite your frequent desire to run away fom it. There is a paradox here: any hope of achieving a relationship in which there is no denial (Beauty) rests on your ability to deny, or more accurately, not to give in to your desire to run away from that relationship![3] To make it still harder, your spirit will tend to despair of ever achieving this goal, the difficulties appearing insurmountable. This is because there is an immense weight of accumulated trauma in the psyche which is saying: this cannot be done. For example, too often there has been a promotion of the ideal of love which has completely failed to recognise the accumulation of rage, hate, terror, grief and despair in the space between the male and female poles of the psyche. For ‘love’ (Swayesse) to be possible for you in any meaningful degree, these emotions will have to be felt - not hidden, denied and run away from.
Small wonder that your principal opposition to Beauty is from Fear: fear has created the problem you face, and fear wants to keep the lid on your emotions, your female side. But it is precisely this which is damaging you. You can only feel the welcome emotions of love, joy, delight… to the extent that you are prepared to feel the unwelcome ones: emotional openness is not selective. This process therefore involves connection with the Unconscious: you and your partner will have to be able and willing to follow your neurotic behaviours back towards their source in the remote past. Indeed, where the deeper, heavier levels of trauma are involved, this enterprise will imperatively need support from outside your couple.
The card Beauty, as we said early on, does not always involve an external process – it can also reflect the ‘work’ that we do on our inner male and female. Nor will Beauty invariably be a reference to the process outlined above. In general, Beauty refers to action in which there is an acknowledgement of both male and female elements, and a balanced approach to them. It refers to any specific male-female energy communication situation in which denial is not a characteristic feature.
Divination summary:
successful communication between male and female; balance in relationship; willingness to face denial; commitment to resolving relationship conflicts; facing past trauma; healing inner wounds; not running away from relationship difficulties; refusing to retreat into being / remaining single.
