REVERSED PAGE OF CUPS
When reversed, the Page of Cup still points to a burst of spontaneous emotional energy. But now, this energy is so intense that you may have a hard time staying focused.
A recent event may have caused you to lose focus. The reversed Page of Cups also warns of emotional immaturity. If your partner is telling you that you’re being too clingy, he or she may have a point. Perhaps, you’re feeling unappreciated. Rest assured, your contributions are not going unnoticed. When starting a new project, your gut feeling may be right as far as the general direction is concerned. However, you should take some time to work out the details. The Page of Cups warns – Be cautious in business situations. The other party may not have your best interest in mind. When the reversed Page of Cups appears, it's a signal to allow yourself to play and dream, but that you must remain grounded in reality. Knowing the difference between dreams and wishful thinking and what is really happening can be especially challenging now. General: In general, this card in reverse shows a need to play, to dream, to have a little fun. At the same time, you have to know where the boundaries lie. Eventually, we all have to pay the piper in some way. Be aware that actions have consequences. Work: When the Page of Cups appears in reverse, it shows that you are basically appreciated in your work. However, you need to be careful not to "thumb your nose" too often or too vigorously at the powers that be - even if you work for yourself. If you aren't sure what's happening or why you keep getting into problems, ask for advice from a trusted, experienced friend or family member. Love: The reversed Page of Cups carries a warning when it comes to love relationships. When it appears, you may have your heart far too "set" on someone who is quite literally unavailable. Pay attention to the signals you are given. Sometimes it's best to set a deadline for how long you will allow yourself to stay focused on any one individual - if they are not simultaneously moving towards you. We all have more than one soul mate and many chances for happiness. |
Finances: When you pull the reversed Page, this is a time to be exceedingly careful with purchases. You may be shopping in an attempt to somehow fill a deeper need. Think 3 times before plunking down that credit card. It's a twist on the old saying: "Purchase in haste and repent at leisure..."
Health: The reversed Page of Cups may show that you are somewhat predisposed to getting on the latest bandwagon in hopes of improving your health. Yes, natural cures can and do work, but you must make considered decisions and ideally, you should always have agreement and permission from your medical doctor. Don't plunk down a bunch of money for "miracle cures." They are almost always scams.
