The Family of Cups – Court Cards as a Family Series

The court cards house a lot of interesting dynamics;   Especially when you look at them as families.  They have both functional and somewhat dysfunctional elements.  You get an idea of how they communicate, what’s important to them, and what their place in the family is.  It can also offer up ways of relating them when they turn up in a reading.

Yesterday’s card was The Tower.  And I have to tell you, The Tower is not a card I’m in love with!  Pretty much no matter what tarot deck you look at, The Tower is a very serious card! It speaks of epiphanies that come suddenly and shake the very foundations of our beliefs.  It may even refer to events that are way outside the realm of our control.  Lightning bolts that knock us on our proverbial
