Moving along, the next decan is approaching! We’re now working with the second decan of Cancer (Cancer ll) with the 3 of Cups, as well as the Magician and the Chariot, once again.
For those new to decans, be sure to check out this post here for more information explaining them and what a “decan walk” is.
3 of Cups « Lord of Abundance»
What I love most about the 3 of Cups is the abundant overflow of water. It’s being poured from one cup to another in good harmony and with a willingness to open up and share. Spirits are up and things are feeling pretty damn good, so good in fact that this card urges you to share this with others close to you or those that have inspired/supported you.
With Mercury in Cancer, the invitation here is to express from the heart. You have the planet of communication and the sign of nurturing and compassion.
In my own Squid Cake Marseille guidebook, I talk about how the third cup in the imagery is ready to leave the nest and it may be time to fill that space with something new to nurture and see thrive.
“You have something especially valuable to share.”
