The Stories Tarot Told Me: Fourth Reading
queen of cups (upright)
spotlights
i’ll hold
the rest of them
can see you
the way i do
you’re too bright for them all
we both know
banish all shadows
you’re the light
stage was set
7 on the dot
no applause
doors were locked
… the whole time
next time
will you
hold spotlights
send away my shadows
let them see me
how you do?
eight of wands (reversed)
4:44
bit lip
nothing new
sun’s still up came home early
to see you
6:12
nothing again
ring in pocket
car cleaned
cinnamon cookies
11:11
had to stay
friend’s grad tomorrow
sorry, forgot to call
dinner then
11:22
on the highway
stopped halfway
started recording
spilling eighteen years
can’t do nineteen
without you
knowing
Meaning of the Cards
Queen of Cups (Upright): This card represents the surface of the subconscious and addresses themes of feminity, empathy, and warmth. The Queen of Cups often lacks rationality, but thinks with her heart and intuition.
Eight of Wands (Reversed): This card represents delays and patience. There is a frustrating element of stagnancy and the risk of lost chances associated with the Eight of Wands in reverse.
