THE THREE OF CUPS, LORD OF ABUNDANCE

   Your allies dance before you as the Three Graces, goddesses of harmony, splendor and abundance who preside over banquets, dances, and other pleasurable events, bringing joy and goodwill to both Gods and mortals alike. They dance and sing with Apollo and like the Muses inspire artists to create stunningly beautiful works of art. In this dance, you feel the influence of both Cancer and Mercury. For appreciation of the arts--or beauty in general--the subtle senses must be open while the emotions as well as the sympathetic imagination are engaged. The influence of Cancer stimulates the subtle senses and the imagination, which manifests as an active and abundant internal life that includes a love of the arts. When the subtle senses are open, a person is more psychic, more open to an abundance of spiritual influences as well. The influence of Mercury, the messenger of the Gods, is necessarily linked to harmony and abundance, a state which cannot manifest without a conscious pursuit of beauty, the inspirations for which are often communicated from the depths of the psyche. As your allies lift their golden cups, you can feel the emotional, mental, and spiritual inebriation of the inspired life.
