Cups
Cups correspond to the Water element in Astrology and other esoteric disciplines. They represent emotions, feelings, mystical spirituality, one's inner states and moods, artistic and creative pursuits, one's sense of satisfaction and happiness, and orientation towards love and connections through relationships.

The Moon and The High Priestess
Your Place in the Major Arcana
This information applies particularly to you and your concerns:
- If you are a Cancer Sun Sign
- If you have a Cancer Moon or Ascendant
- If you have your ruling planet (the ruler of your Sun Sign) in Cancer
- If you have your chart ruler (the ruler of the sign on your Ascendant) in Cancer
- If you have one or more planets in the 4th House of your Natal Chart
- Wherever you have Cancer on the cusp of a Natal Chart house
- In the issues ruled by the Natal Chart house where your Natal Moon resides
- In the issues ruled by the Natal Chart house where the Moon is transiting "now" -- as it passes through all 12 houses of your chart every month!!

As a Cancer, the High Priestess card -- associated with The Moon, your ruling planet -- is an additional source of wisdom and strength, a piece of power for you to use -- and certainly keep in mind, as you work through this life to the fulfillment of your destiny.
Most Tarot decks show The High Priestess as a serene woman, sitting alone in a temple or other place of spiritual healing and comfort, ready to offer wisdom from Divine Sources to a supplicant with questions on his mind. She is a woman with unearthly, supernatural connections with both respect for the higher spiritual powers and compassion for the travails of the human condition. She knows how to listen to the whispered words of her inner voices, and she knows how to translate and act on them.
As a Cancer with The High Priestess for your companion, your source of knowledge and inspiration, you are working with some of the following major life themes as your destiny unfolds.

Woman of Mystery
Walking Between Two Worlds

The High Priestess
The High Priestess is card number 2 in the Major Arcana, and correlates to the Moon. As The Empress is the feminine counterpart to The Emperor, The High Priestess is the feminine counterpart to The Magician. He is the symbol of the conscious mind and rational thought; she is the symbol of the subconscious mind and intuitive thought.

Cancer and The Chariot
Your Place in the Major Arcana
This information applies particularly to you and your concerns:
- If you are a Cancer Sun Sign
- If you have a Cancer Moon or Ascendant
- If you have your ruling planet (the ruler of your Sun Sign) in Cancer
- If you have your chart ruler (the ruler of the sign on your Ascendant) in Cancer
- If you have one or more planets in the 4th House of your Natal Chart
- Wherever you have Cancer on the cusp of a Natal Chart house

If you are a Cancer, your appropriate Major Arcana card is The Chariot, and its companion for the planetary ruler of your sign, The Moon, is The High Priestess.
Most Tarot decks show The Chariot as a Romanesque figure driving a vehicle drawn by two powerful creatures, sometimes horses, sometimes a pair of lion / sphinx-like creatures straight out of someone's mythic imagination. It's clearly a blend of human intellect and direction controlling raw animal power to "make progress," do work or just get somewhere.
If you're a Cancer, this theme symbolizes the target of what you aim to work with in your life -- this merging of discretion and judgment with intuition and formidable power. This archetype deals with learning to trust, maneuver, and use the "brain power" of the human perspective and the "muscle power" of instinct and reaction to move through the physical world through a useful combination of prudence and judgment ... and literal horsepower. This step in the progression of the Major Arcana takes emotions and feelings into account in the way you make decisions, take action, and work with life.
As a Cancer with The Chariot as your guide, you are working with some of the following major life themes as your destiny unfolds.

Calling My Inner Prudence
Our Milestones Reading for the Month
I try not to pick out any one Zodiac energy as "more important" than the rest. Every single phase of Creation's Cycle is essential to the final result -- the life we live and the world we know. But I am endlessly fascinated with Cancer energy. It is so central to the foundation of everyone's existence -- no matter what kind of character you're working with, no matter what kind of life you have. Somehow, Cancer energy played an undeniable part in getting you where you are.
Cancer deals with mothering interests, your home setting and private life, your family background, the kind of childhood you knew ... and the kind of childhood you've arranged for your children and home base you provide yourself and your family -- including pets and people you're not kin to, but love anyway "like members of the family."
Cancer encompasses a whole cluster of primal concerns ... like having a home in the first place, providing for the protection and continuation of your family, feeling adequately safe and secure, and listening to your instincts. That mysterious sense called "mother's intuition" is not a relic from an old wives' tale. It is basic skill that exists in all of us -- mothers especially -- who are charged with seeing to the care and well-being of ourselves and our loved ones.
In this immensely complex set of abilities are things like sensitivity, compassion, empathy, loyalty, maternal love, intuition. It requires that you know the truth about a given situation, admit the truth (at least to yourself) and make decisions and take actions to produce the best outcome based on these keen perceptions -- many of which are decidedly "psychic" in nature. It's knowing the right thing to do at the right time and in the right place without hesitation and without having to ask.
So, from this mix, I've distilled another fundamental quality we need to develop -- and use faithfully -- as our focus for the Milestones reading this month. Prudence. A word with connotations of discretion, caution, objectivity, restraint, wisdom, pragmatism and courage. Quite a virtue, prudence.
In these months, dominated by the tension and commotion of the Grand Cardinal Cross I've been describing in pieces in Step by Step, prudence is not only a welcome gift for us and our world, it may be a saving grace when life tilts abruptly and the chips are really, really down. Since that is such a possibility for the next several weeks -- and maybe months -- let's consider the value of prudence ... and how to nourish this blessing in ourselves -- for the benefit of all.

Finding Your Vehicle
When Life is 'in the Groove'

The Chariot
The Chariot is card number 7 in the Major Arcana, coming immediately after the issues of "choice, union, merging, blending, and combining" which are meanings found in The Lovers. Metaphorically, The Chariot represents "your vehicle in life," your way of getting around in the world.
