Hi Everyone
I didn't want to start a new 'How may it be read' thread, since jmd always starts them but I did want to see what people think of the 'VI de Coupe'.
I have slowly been working my way through the Coupe cards - the 'How May It Be Read' threads have been a great source of information, as have some of the 'Let's Marseille' readings.
Everything seems to make sense to me, as I work my way into the 'five'. It is funny how some see RWS meanings when they look at the minors of the Marseille; I did as well at one point, but those first five cards of the Coupes speak to me in their own way now - there positioning is my default, rather than the pictorial images associated with the RWS. However, when I get to 'six', I stop. Things seem ordered there and I think firstly of the choises shown in 'L'Amoureux'. I don't necessarily see them as groups of two, but two columns of three; almost like two pathways that could be taken.
Is the whole idea of remenisance and memories a Waite thing or does it stem from further back? I ask because my intuition looks at the bud closest to the bottom of the card. There is a flower higher up on the stem but it is closer to that bud, than the one at the top - intuitively, I wonder if that bud clings either to the past somewhat or is still connected to problems that may have been associated with the 'five'.
And now another question - that 'five'. I look at the five to be connected with Le Pape, who I do not consider to be a bringer of problems; he blesses the two guys with him, rather than hindering them. However, that fifth cup maybe plays with the organisation of the previous four and therefore, could add a bit of disharmony.
So, does the six offer some movement from the five in a possitive direction - opportunities, paths and decisions to take and make. Things definitely look happier in the 'seven' - that central cup looks genuinely accepted by the others around it and the floral arrangement.
Is it being dragged back to the card before it?
A little confused and would appreciate any of your 'takes' on this.
Regards
