Tarot Card for the Day, October 17, 2013, (Shadowscapes Tarot Deck)

The Three of Cups Reversed

Sacred Spirit is really hammering us with the idea of opening up more with first yesterdays card and then again todays card as well!
A lot of readers would see this card with a negative meaning. I don’t read the same way that a lot of other readers do. I know the basic meanings for most of the cards and what the traditional read would be. But I read intuitively and I let my intuition have as much freedom as it wants when it comes to interpreting a card. That means sometimes I see the cards as having a more traditional meaning, but other times I don’t get anything even close to that. This is one of those times that the latter is true.
In the upright position this card speaks to me about friends or colleagues who have very similar perspectives or ways of doing things. They enjoy working with or spending time with each other because it’s easy. They are very similar in their thinking and actions. It doesn’t take a lot of effort to understand each other because so much of the time, they are on the same page automatically.
What Spirit is calling us to with this card in the reversed position is the idea that we need to expand our circles. I hear Sacred Spirit calling us to be more aware of the people around us who don’t fit so well into our normal circle and take the time to get to know more about what makes them tick, to get to know them. To begin relationships with them. There is a lot to be learned from someone who is so different from us if we can put all of our judgments about them in a box in the back of a closet somewhere for a while. For long enough to get to know them. We don’t have to agree with someone 80 percent of the time to really love them, or find them intriguing, interesting, and worth caring about.
For many of us, reaching out to someone who is different from us is sort of scary. It’s uncharted territory, so to speak. We don’t know what to expect from them. We don’t always know what they will expect from us. It’s not always comfortable. But there must be great value in it, otherwise Spirit wouldn't be asking us to consider doing it.
