Two people look into each other’s eyes on this card. This is a profound connection with another person, an emotional upheaval that draws you to them. You meet someone with whom you instantly bond after feeling lonely and disconnected. When your gazes collide, you are pulled together. This connection will only progress if you are willing to put in the effort.
Connections and relationships are the prominent themes connected with the Two of Cups. It’s unclear what kind of relationship you’re in, but you’ve been a part of a strong one in the past, present, or future. This relationship will need work, total trust, and demanding respect. It might, of course, include attraction and be a highly passionate love affair, but it could also be a long-term friendship. The remainder of the spread may or may not disclose the precise nature. It will, nevertheless, be a source of pleasure for you, a constant presence in your life whose well-being will be as essential to you as your own.
A grin. With a wink. A chuckle. A smidgeon. There are many little indications that someone is interested in you. Only those who are ready to freely express their feelings with you are worthy of your time. Their goals, dreams, concerns, and uncertainties should all be things they’re willing to share with you if you’re going to be a good partner. The nature of the Two of Cups is this.
A man and a woman standing face to face on this card, each holding a cup in their hand. They give each other the cups in an open, generous manner. They seem to be two quite different people: she is dressed in a blue robe with a green wreath on her head, while he is dressed in a red-ish frock with a crimson wreath on his head. The man is softly reaching for the woman’s cup and seems to be reaching for her hand in the process
▼
The card of togetherness is the one that all lovers (or pining hopefuls) want to see. These two figures are romantically touching, and many individuals who have been in loving, giving relationships may sense the bond that these two people have. The cup’s suit represents emotion, and their willingness to share their cup with another individual is a significant step forward.
Love is in the Air!
When you see this card, you’ll know that you’re about to make a new connection (perhaps romantic). Don’t be scared to give freely – don’t impose your agenda on the other person, but be ready to give when they ask for a piece of your heart.
It’s essential to remember that a union doesn’t have to be between two individuals who are in a love relationship. Family, friends, and strangers may all form bonds. Connections may also occur on a wider scale, such as between organizations, ideas, and countries. In addition to the formation of new connections, this card also discusses the repair of previously severed or broken bonds. Examine your connections to determine whether this card is urging you to make a ceasefire.
When you draw the Two of Cups, there are a few crucial questions you should ask yourself. What kind of connections/unions am I looking for right now? Is it possible for me to be open and honest with another person about how I feel? What level of openness do I want people to have with me?
What Two of Cups Means for You Today
The Two of Cups has appeared today to show that relationships may be the main theme of your day. This card, at its core, represents two souls coming together in harmony. If you are single It can be a sign that a new romantic partner is about to enter your life. In some cases, this card can refer to your relationship with a good friend or family member. Either way, there is a sense of love and connection in the air today. Try not to impose your will on others today or this positive harmony could turn negative very quickly.
I will leave you thinking about personal liberation, the freedom to see people in their beauty, and the freedom to see the world the way you want. Nothing on the outside can control your capacity to liberate yourself because you control that on the inside. That’s the real power, the power of you.
Thank you, everybody.

The Siren
“Our love was alluring and sometimes perilous, like the siren’s call that tempts sailors to rocky shores. Learn from its seductive lessons, understanding the balance between allure and caution. The siren, a symbol of irresistible attraction and danger, mirrors the captivating yet seductive nature of our passion.”
When you draw the Siren card, it signifies a powerful message from a past romantic relationship that was enchantingly enticing but potentially dangerous. This card speaks about love that’s hypnotic and captivating but can also be risky or damaging. The Siren commands your awareness, with an invitation to delve into the deep waters of your past romantic experiences, providing valuable insights that are essential for your future love life.
The Siren can symbolize a relationship that was both passionate and volatile in nature. These types of relationships often teach us the most valuable lessons about how we love and what we are willing to endure for that love. Like the alluring yet dangerous Siren in the sea, this past love might have been enchanting and irresistible, but it may have also led you astray from your path, causing hardship or even heartbreak.
This card indicates that your past experiences can offer important insights and lessons for your future relationships. The Siren’s music is captivating, but it may also lead a ship to its demise. Similarly, your previous relationship may have been electrifying yet damaging, and it’s time for you to decode its melody. This card encourages you to seek and understand the lessons behind the alluring yet perilous love that the Siren represents.
A mesmerizing Siren in her exquisite splendor sits on a rock, her mermaid tail gently touching the cerulean water, a distant ship navigates the stormy waters in the background, symbolizing the turmoil past love has left in its wake. She strums her harp, and though the tune is captivating, it has the potential to steer you off course. The Siren isn’t only a symbol of temptation and allure but a call to exercise caution and discernment in love.
This past love had a kind of luminous intensity, the kind that drags you in and holds you spellbound. Meanwhile, the Siren’s allure can also serve as a warning sign of uncharted territory ahead, symbolizing the volatile aspects of this relationship. It tells the tale of a love that was dazzling and exhilarating, however, it might have led you towards uncertain and unmapped waters.
Listen To The Song Of Your Past
The card asks you to tune into the songs of your past. What melodies are still resounding in your heart from this relationship? What verses of love and loss still echo in your mind? Which chords hit you the hardest, the sweet prefatory notes or the discordant hues of its finale? Looking back on this relationship with a clear and grounded perspective can offer you the insight needed for navigating future relationships.
Think about these questions when you draw the Siren card. Is there a past love that still plays songs in your heart? What lesson did you learn from that relationship? What are the enchanting yet potentially dangerous aspects of love that the story of the Siren is cautioning you about? How can you integrate these lessons into your present and future relationships?
Interpreting The Siren Card For Your Present
The Siren card has appeared to signal that it’s time for you to listen to the echoes of your past relationships that still reverberate within your heart. It might be painful, but it’s crucial to assimilate these lessons into your current love-related experiences. If there’s one message that the Siren carries, it is that the allure of past love serves as a valuable lesson for the present. It stands as a beautiful but hazardous melody in your heart — appreciable, but something to approach with caution. Understand its tune and use it as a guide as you navigate through the tumultuous seas of love in your life.

Arguing
Insisting you are right because, well, you know better. You don’t have dementia. People living with dementia (PLWD) have an increasingly limited ability to understand the world as we see it. Therefore, we need to learn to see the world from their view. When we do this, we don’t argue if they say that they haven’t eaten all day even though lunch was an hour ago. We just say, “Really? Then we’d better get you a snack.”
Expecting everyone with dementia – or even everyone with dementia of the Alzheimer’s type – to be the same
Your uncle’s trajectory with the disease will be different than your dad’s or your friend’s husband. Everyone with dementia is as much an individual as everyone who doesn’t have dementia. Yes, there are guidelines and behaviors to watch for, but each person will respond differently. Remember, too, that each day will be different. Some days are easier than others. That’s the nature of the dementia caregiving.
Shaming
Although it’s tempting to point your finger at the person with dementia, I have never seen shaming to achieve positive results. They can’t help their behavior. Shaming is rarely a good reaction toward anyone, but it’s especially egregious when the person cannot help their behavior. Redirect. Distract. Lovingly find out what’s wrong. Just don’t shame.
Treating people living with dementia like children
This type of behavior can be sneaky because our care partner needs us to speak more slowly. More simply. More carefully. That does not mean that we should talk down to them. Remember that their intelligence has not deteriorated. What has changed is their ability to understand the complexity of the world as others see it, as well as their ability to verbally express themselves.
Assuming that they are wrong when they tell you someone is stealing from them or physically or emotionally abusing them
It’s appalling, but abuse can happen in any care setting. Listen carefully and with respect. Then investigate to the best of your ability. Look for signs of physical abuse, emotional abuse, and financial abuse if the person’s complaints seem to warrant that.
Assuming that they are right when they tell you someone is stealing from them or abusing them
Caregivers can be routinely accused of taking things, such as hearing aids or clothing, because the person living with dementia can’t find what is needed. This is a human reaction, if a bit paranoid, even for those of us without dementia. However, paranoia can be a symptom of dementia. Listen to the story with respect and love. Try to find the missing object without making a fuss. With accusations of physical abuse, don’t jump to conclusions, but do listen and consider all options because, yes, abuse happens.
Reaching for drugs to settle difficult behaviors
Try first to understand the reason behind this behavior. What we need to do is go through a mental check list. Do they seem warm enough? Could they be thirsty? Could they be in pain? Try to find out why they are upset. Determining the underlying cause can often take care of what is viewed as problem behavior.
Categorically refusing drugs
People living with dementia can have pain just as you or I can have pain. If you hurt that badly you’d complain, too. You’d also, most likely, accept appropriate medication. There are people living with dementia who have mental illnesses that don’t go away once dementia sets in. While dosages of any medication must be very carefully controlled when someone has dementia, often a low dose of the proper medication for their pain or mental illness is not only appropriate, but humane.

Many Blessings,
Jeremy and the Ten of Cups Moon Horoscope
The Ten of Cups shows that you’ve achieved a point of maturity, a point of completeness, and it’s time to lean on your family and loved ones for support. You can get the help you need right now.
This card predicts joyful occasions with your loved ones, like family reunions. There’s no need to be concerned about the result of any scheduled events; they’ll turn out better than expected. In terms of relationships, it was love that brought these people together, and it will also keep them together. In the end, it’s all about love.
If the Ten of Cups appears in your spread, you may anticipate success and the accomplishment of a long-term objective. This card, like the others in the Cups, has emotional overtones. If there has been a split, it may indicate the mending of bridges between friends or family members you were previously close to. It also signifies alignment, and you may discover that it represents the resolution of your inner emotional struggle. It makes you happy, and you’re in a better position to help others in your life while you’re in this enhanced condition. When it comes to marriage, it generally refers to long-term emotional ties.
Many individuals yearn for a family they can name their own. They travel great places and work long hours to find a suitable spouse and give birth to children. Why? They are looking for a sense of serenity and pleasure that they have been told can only come through having one’s own family. They mature emotionally as a result of parenting their own family. We all feel a certain kind of pleasure when we spend time with our loved ones – whether it’s family or friends, we like the sensation we receive when we’re with them. We have a sense of calm, wealth, and immunity to the world’s problems. We strive to overcome petty emotions and quarrels to enjoy each other’s company while it lasts. The energy of the Ten of Cups is this

A rainbow of cups stretched over the top of a farm, complete with lush greenery and sparkling streams. A family stands on the ground well below the rainbow, joyfully enjoying the rainbow. The husband and wife embrace one other, arms outstretched in amazement and gratitude. The two youngsters dance about in a fun manner, obviously as pleased as their parents.
The Ten of Cups completes the cups suite by bringing us to the conclusion of an emotional “roller coaster” and resting on a sense of well-being. This card represents emotional completeness – not feeling as though a piece of our emotional self is missing. We have a sense of belonging, of being complete, and of being joyful. This card indicates that you are experiencing, or have the potential to experience, this level of emotional fulfillment.
Who Knew Growing Up Could Feel This Good?
This card also represents all good emotions, particularly love. This card, as well as our everyday life, is full of joy, pleasure, and harmony. The Ten of Cups may be urging you to spread more pleasure and happiness in your life in whatever way you can. When you encounter this card in your readings, cultivate an optimistic mindset!
When you view this card, think about a few important questions. What brings you joy? Should you be content? Could it be you? When was the last time you felt completely at ease? Why? Do you believe that happiness is within your grasp right now? Are you able to follow your passion? How do you feel about the people in your life? Would you be in a better place if you spent more time with them?
What Ten of Cups Means for You Today
The Ten of Cups has appeared today to indicate that you have achieved some kind of transformation in your emotional world. While this often is coupled with some kind of happy circumstance in your life like a new relationship, this card points toward the emotional experience more than the event it is attached to. If you have been dealing with a particularly difficult emotional cycle in your life, this card is a sign that you will transcend these difficulties and begin a new chapter in your life.

Your Angel’s Message:
The angels are asking you now to release anything that’s not authentic and that doesn’t mirror your highest and more Divine intentions for yourself. You’re also reminded to release anything that doesn’t work for you anymore. God and the angels will take care of it.
Divine light enters your life when you open your heart and release all unhealthy situations. When you surrender your troubles, Divine light can freely enter. Replace all that is negative with complete truth and integrity. Your life will change for the better. No matter your issue, be it your job, your relationships, health issues or anything else, it will heal rapidly and in the most beautiful of ways. Angels will guide you to your destination. Worries are to be replaced by complete serenity.
What You Should Do:
Be honest with yourself now. You need to be truthful with yourself before you can be this way with others. Be the best version of you that you can be. When you do this, the angels will guide you towards something that will either heal your situation completely or that will replace it entirely. When you’re true to yourself you can expect miracles!
Your Affirmation:
“I am honest and true to myself. I am one with the Divine and accept with grace the miracles that are coming into my life.”

Every relationship you forge has the potential to teach you about yourself and your deeply held views. In fact, there’s no better laboratory for self-study than through relationships. Relationships are such a large part of who we are that their dynamics manifest themselves throughout our being. The three major energy centers in the body are the second chakra (control), third chakra (self-esteem) and fourth chakra (emotional power).
Relationships can introduce you to the parts of yourself that might otherwise remain hidden. As a result, relationships can be quite painful; learning about ourselves and facing our own limitations are not things we tend to do with enthusiasm.
We do not meet and become involved with people as the result of some random process. Each of us generates patterns of energy that attract particular people into our lives. Try to view your relationships as “spiritual messengers” bringing to you revelations about your strengths and weaknesses, and providing valuable lessons on your path to consciousness.
Your challenge is to form and maintain relationships that support your development, to rescript unhealthy relationships, and to release those that limit growth. This is not about judging others; it’s about honoring the lessons that relationships can teach you–having the courage to respond clearly to their lessons.

Relativity
Every body continues at rest or in motion in a straight line unless compelled to change by forces impressed upon it.
My path to mathematician, scientist, loner, was acted upon by Albert Einstein.
I became swept up in his direction and velocity. His force became my own. I allowed him to trim away all the parts that did not fit his mold.
Finally, I exerted a force equal in magnitude to his. I took back the space that belonged to me.
from “The Other Einstein” by Marie Benedict
