lol this was another multi-“damn, Gina!”-exclamation reading. Lately I’ve taken to saying, “That’s a bit on the nose, don’t you think?” to the Powers That Be etc. and this is one of those moments. Oh boy. At least I know what I’m working with! And if I learned anything from this week’s weekly reading, it’s that things may actually turn out better than I expect.

One sweet thing I felt during the reading was that if the 8 of Cups is the impatient emotional response - we’re going after one more cup to finish our lil cup tower - then maybe The Star is the patient emotional response. Plus, The Star boasts TWO cups - more than we were looking to the 8 of Cups to fill. I’ll be sitting with that for a while.

Thank you always always Gina ✨

Multi -"damn Gina's", Always, right?! I was definitely picking up on a Two of Cups vibe with the Eight of Cups moving toward The Star. It feels like that surrender to intimacy and vulnerability, facing the subconscious, is what allows us to be fulfilled in a Ten of Cups kind of way—the Eight meeting the Two and becoming the Ten.

Tuning into the preciousness of life is such a powerful reminder from this reading. The Queen of Swords' call for straight talking really resonated—I’ve been pruning my communication a lot lately, asking myself, "Is this interesting to me? Is it worth sharing?" It’s been a liberating process of clearing out the nonsense and making space for deeper, more honest exchanges. It’s also shifted how frequently I engage with some people, ha!

That message about being "wise and open-minded, but not so intense" hits home. Softening has been a major theme for me—following the questions rather than chasing the answers, trusting that I’ll live into them when the time is right. The patience between the Queen of Swords and the King of Wands is so clear. The King feels like a challenge, reminding me that ambition and action might not be filling my cup in the way I need right now. It brings me back to that Ace of Cups vibe from a past reading.

The Eight of Cups is showing me that it’s okay to turn toward the unknown with openness, navigating the darkness without needing all the answers—just like The Star, which invites me to listen and respond with presence and truth. I love how these cards seem to face each other, like the Eight of Cups is offering itself to The Star, aligning with that energy of nourishment, both from earth and the cosmos. It’s a reminder that even the subtle, mundane acts are valuable, even if they don’t shine as brightly as the fiery ambition of the King of Wands.

This reading calls me to humble myself under the starlight, to be open to intimacy with the mystery, whether or not anyone else sees it. We are all here, belonging to this earth, flying through the universe together. It’s about being, receiving, giving, and practicing calm—honoring the gentleness within, so that I can be more present in my life.

This is the magic Gina always brings!
