Regret and Celebration

Learn Tarot Online with Tarot Cards of the day from Amanda Goldston for Monday 13th April 2009
Today Greg and I both drew Cup cards. Greg drew the 5 of Cups and I drew the 3 of Cups.
5 of Cups
3 of Cups
The 5 of Cups is about looking back at things that have gone or that we perceive to be lost. There is an element of regret and of focused on things that have happened that cannot be changed.
Although this it is not immediately obvious what this refers to, it may be in relation to our current financial situation and things not moving forward as fast as we would like. Then, we made certain choices in that respect- between Greg being able to be at home with the family and be part of the home education experience or working away from home all the time.
Perhaps at some point we will be able to release the limiting beliefs and blocks around having both money flow and the family togetherness!
The 3 of Cups is a lovely card, as it is celebration and success, as well as reconnecting with female friends. That reminds me, I have got a couple of emails to send to female friends. This morning breakfast seemed to consist of chocolate- which has really got to be the ultimate female woman-to-woman connector!
I had chocolate for breakfast, as did my daughters and so did the Speech and Drama teacher, who came to teach the girls!
I received a confirmation that my book is print ready, however I needed to re-upload the file because the pictures had not come out as well as I would have liked. I did that yesterday, so I am waiting for a reply. I think the 3 of Cups is telling me that I am going to be celebrating very soon!
Stephanie, my eldest daughter , had ordered a hoodie jumper last week and she was jumping up and down with delight when it came today.
I think the phrase of “Seek and Ye shall find” comes to mind today. We have drawn a positive, celebration card and a card of regret and looking back.
We can choose which of those we allow to be dominant in our day. We can focus on finding things to celebrate and laugh about or we can find things to regret and to give ourselves a hard time over things that we cannot change!
Extra comments added later in the day.
As the day moved on, we began to see how these cards were really unfolding for us. We got the Speech and Drama results for the girls and we were really celebrating because both girls had increased their results on previous exams and Stephanie got a distinction from one of her subjects! She was delighted. So a bit more joy from the 3 of Cups!
All 3 of us women, me and both girls, had sort of spent the day in our own space and just enjoying being ourselves, which is also 3 of Cups energy.
I found that my book is not going to cost anywhere near as much as I thought to get printed, so I will be able to offer it for sale from my own site, as well as established outlets and booksellers.
I was really delighted because it has a lot of colour pictures in it.
We got more to the bottom of the melancholy that Greg has been feeling today. He takes some amazing and fantastic photographs, which you can see at www.GregoryGoldston.com and yet he does not see the beauty in them.
There is a feeling almost of inadequacy and not matching up to his own high standards of perfectionism.
He has also done a fantastic job with all the graphics, artwork, book covers and videos for me for my websites.
He has decided that he is going to do some projects of his own, including using his stunning photographs to create our own inspirational cards and to do what is necessary to complete his Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society.
A very interesting day all round! The cards are certainly providing us with plenty of food for thought and insights to moving forward in our lives.
Have a wonderful day.
With abundant blessings.

About the author
Dear Amanda,
If you would be so kind to pass this message on to Gregory;
I was captivated by the presence of beauty & spirit that fills his art.
I would say his work, but that would add an element of effort that is no where to be found in his art.
I know too well the inner critic that distracts me from my passion.
I am inspired to venture out once again and simply shoot for the pure enjoyment of it.
Thanks for sharing,
Kat~
