When I first starting reading about the meaning of the different cards, I was shocked how many, like at least half, seemed to depict the shadow side of life: disappointments, frustrations, and unscrupulous individuals. But let’s get really real—life ain’t no bed of roses, and actually isn’t the point of developing all this spiritual awareness to help us deal better with the inevitable thorns? In Lou’s experience, the more “challenging” cards simply reflect the things showing up in our reality that we’d rather not deal with. Like the Five of Cups, for example—which speaks to feelings of sadness and loss. I love her message (spoken like a true Scorpio) that “part of our self-discovery is to look at our shadows and sit in our discomfort—as this is what deepens our levels of compassion towards ourselves and others.”
