The harder edge

An open heart is exposed by definition. That is the cost and it is not avoidable.

Ace of Cups by position

The same card says something different depending on where it lands in a spread.

As the foundationwhere this came from: Something opened here emotionally. It is the source of what came after.
As the currentwhat is live now: A feeling is available to you. Receiving it is the action required.
As what is formingthe near horizon: New feeling, new connection. It arrives rather than being built.
As a single cardwhat to carry this week: Let yourself feel the thing this week instead of managing it.
