Our card shows Eros playing piggy-back with a woman, guiding her towards her suitor. But, like with the blinded woman, your road to success may have some small stumbles today. Nothing too serious, but sometimes, it may feel like you have a monkey on your back (or a mischievous god).

The Lovers reversed warns of fights, betrayals and the possibility of shattered bonds. Remember, love (like Aphrodite up there) is not always kind. And choosing badly can bite you

Pegasus in the above image is bridled. The winged horse that could soar above the clouds is being held down and restricted. Lately, you may have felt like this, too, as obstacle after obstacle sprang up, just when you thought youd fought free. Fight a little more.

Jason needed the Golden Fleece, but couldn’t get past the dragon that guarded it. So he seduced Medea, a local witch, into helping him. Jason got his fleece, and also got Medea as a wife, which would have been great if he had cared about her. He didnt, and later discarded her without a thought. The King reversed hints at the abuse of others for selfish gains.

On her own, Scylla (above) was a feared sea goddess, but pair her with Charybdis, a massive and very dangerous whirlpool, and she was able to turn to Straights of Messina into the ancient Greek equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle. Sunk ships, sunk ships everywhere! Find your other half, partner up and see what kind of power you can generate.

The number three was used a lot in Greek mythology: Zeus had two brothers, and together they ruled the earth, sea and sky. The three fates wove the life of each human. The three Furies doled out revenge. And the three Graces . . . well, upright, theyre a party. But reversed, they can indicate a third wheel in a relationship, when three is most definitely a crowd.

Our Ace of Cups is Oceanus, believed by the ancient Greeks to be the physical manifestation of the wild, rolling oceans. That makes sense as Cups is the suite most associated with water. It is also the suite of our emotional life, and the ace is overflowing with all sorts of emotional rewards: love, joy, and productivity are in the cards for you now.

The Three of Wands reversed is all about the frustration of an unsuccessful hunt. It speaks of work unrewarded or unacknowledged, and not being able to close the deal. There is hunger but no satisfaction yet.
