Week of the new moon in Taurus
“The new moon phase symbolizes always being at the beginning and end, seeing life as an ever opening bud. The intuition rather than logic rules here, the projection of self on other's motivations. Very powerful for beginnings and endings”
5 of Cups
Planetary Ruler Venus
The image for the 5 of Cups is a young woman weeping over a bunny that her beloved cat has just killed. Above her four crows sit in a blossoming cherry tree. The crows are cawing and waiting for the leftovers with jubilant anticipation. The image implies that in the midst of life there is death.
The emotional girl has a hard time dealing with the raw reality of the cycle of life. When she matures she will realize she will never be happy if she is always focused on what isn't perfect, what seems unfair or even wrong. If she would just raise her head and look up she would see the beauty that surrounds her. She would soon realize that she could not control all of the actions of her external world. There is always something unsettling going on somewhere. You do what you can to create goodness and you just may have to let go of the rest. In these cases we can only hope that perhaps there is a bigger reality where what we see as unjust, unfair or senseless wastefulness can be understood if not completely restored.
Attention gardeners. This is the new moon for planting all those seedlings you started during the new moon in Pisces. It is now time to put your precious babies in the ground, use the waxing energy of the moon to encourage growth. Don't worry if you have too many put them in and let them mature you can always thin them out later. They are now at the mercy of the elements, you never know what will do well and what won't in any given year. It is important to focus on what is doing well and not be discouraged if some plants don't respond. Be sure to check your soil content and research what nutrients your plants need. Remember to rotate your crops so your soil doesn't get depleted. Check out companion planting; find out what plants do well when planted together. Some plants will repel harmful insects from neighboring plants, which is helpful when you don't want to use chemicals in your garden. But most of all enjoy magic of nature in growing plants.
Traditional meaning: dwelling on the negative.
In a Reading: This card represents a pessimistic point of view. Emotional loss can fog perceptions of reality.
