I feel so many emotions painting this card - love, sadness, anger, longing. I am thinking of my father. He is a man who has felt and expressed his emotions intensely. I remember being embarrassed as a child when he sobbed in movies. But, as I too am "emotional" I now find comfort in the tears we share whenever we greet each other or say goodbye on my trips home to South Africa. He is a jovial, compassionate and loving man but also is prone to melancholy and rage. Dad is getting old and is not well, too often in his cups and I am so far away - I miss him and yet, he is always with me. From my father I learnt to follow my heart, to live my passion, to be a dreamer.

FIVE OF CUPS
I wasn’t happy to pull the Five of Cups as it is a challenging card. But as it always is, the Five of Cups is the card that best matches my state of mind.
I find myself living alone this week. My eldest son, Noah is off to college as a freshman. My younger son, Simon has begun living half time with his Dad. I am experiencing the “empty nest” syndrome and it is painful.
I think of all the people I have loved and lost over the years due to one reason or another. My heart hurts and I feel the icy winds of loneliness piercing me. But wait…my sons will be here again and there are so many people still in my life, all is not spilled.

Ten of Swords
It's a New Moon and I feel a shift happening. As an artist I have often been consumed with worry over my inability to make a living. I have dedicated my life to my art but the old story was how hard it is to support myself doing what I am called to do. I have felt like a martyr at times working endless hours with little pay. Pulling this card made me see my old pattern clearly and the realization that my worries keep me in a victim mentality,when really I am surviving and actually thriving. Never before have I been so productive. As I open myself to new possibilities all sorts of things come my way. I feel released and let go trusting The Universe to support me.
