The astrological climate presents us with a new task: reevaluating our relationships with the people around us. This is all because of the Venus retrograde approaching in Pisces. In addition, Mercury, the planet of communication, is now with Pluto, the planet of transformations, in Aquarius. So, we can expect changes in how we communicate and express ourselves to others. With such powerful energy from the retrograde planets, you have to be cautious about hurting the feelings of others or feel more sensitive. This is why our Tarot card today is the King of Cups, who appears as a hero to the rescue.
As he mentions, Venus in retrograde in Pisces can make you feel either too sensitive, or your words may sound too biting to others. Today, you are going feel sentimentally unbalanced with jealousy and other potent energies. It will be easy to get into a state of anger, and situations can escalate rapidly. Fortunately, the King of Cups is a card about water, i.e., feelings, and is a well-placed figure. His card represents emotional stability, like a father who is involved in his family’s life and who offers good advice.
This king jumps to your aid because he loves to help those in need, and at this time, he will tell you to take a deep breath before your next move. You cannot let yourself be carried away by impulse because, in this first moment, when you react, emotions will cloud your judgment. Once you feel calmer, try to adopt a stance where you empathize more with the other person. For example, if you feel that someone said something that made you angry, try to think about the reason behind the comment, or even better, ask before the misunderstanding gets bigger. Difficult times like this are ideal for practicing your emotional maturity and can help you improve your relationships. Just the kind of transformations that Venus will push for.
If you manage to face this Tarot card great challenge and keep your emotions within a normal range, you could help those around you who feel overwhelmed. Many will appreciate it if you reach out to them with a helping hand; this can be an effortless gesture for you, but enough for others to feel the weight off their back lighten. It can also strengthen your interpersonal relationships or cement new friendships you never know will be meaningful or if those you helped will return that aid.
