Though my mind wanted to see this draw in a positive way today "Death + 5 Cups = The end of sadness", it just didn't feel that way to me. It looked more like something that comes to an end will result in sadness. Seeing the Empress at the end made me think that it will affect a mother. Whether that's me, or my mother, or another mother I know, I don't know.
I'll update here if anything remarkable happens. Now that I think of it, there was something that came to an end last night, that I was slightly mourning and the disappointment spilled over into today... but in the grand scheme of things, it's really not that big of a deal. Maybe this is a reminder of that, and not to sweat the small stuff so much. I'll hope that's all the cards are saying with these cards today. If that's the case, the Empress tells me that with this end, there can be new growth. So all is well.

I can totally relate to this spread for some reason. I've been getting these cards a lot. Especially Death and The Empress. I'm interested to see if anything else comes up for you with it.
Funny, I thought of you when I pulled these cards yesterday. The Death and Empress cards were timely, with the procedure you went through yesterday. The end/removal of something having to do with fertility! :) But the Five of Cups didn't make sense with those two, as I didn't think you were unhappy about it. Though maybe it was your feeling neglected at the doctor's office, having waited so long you thought they forgot about you! LOL
Laugh.
That is funny. That's true--I did have the procedure done the day you pulled these. It is odd the 5 of cups. I still like your 'don't sweat the small stuff because other, bigger, more important things are happening' interpretation for this anyway! :)
p.s. I also see 5 of Cups as walking away from something, sort of like the 8 of cups, but it definitely is more melancholy. Of course I am extremely moody and always disappointed with something so that doesn't surprise me.
Oh! One last thing about the disappointment thing. One of the major reasons why I removed the IUD is that many women (hundreds, almost a thousand, just on the one message board I was reading) were complaining of significant weight gain as a result of the IUD. This is a problem I've had as well, even though I didn't see that I was doing anything tremendously different. But I've gained over 35 lbs in the past two years since having it inserted.
The doctor told me this when she was looking at my chart (after I finally got to see her). My feelings about it were disappointment (5 of cups) and being upset at myself for letting myself gain that much weight especially when I already had a weight issue and I had done so well losing weight after my daughter's birth.
Anyway...here's to new beginnings and happiness for both of us!
Yours ramblingly,

Ah, well that explains it then! There was a big part of me that thought that reading was also about you that morning, but I couldn't place the Five of Cups!
I sincerely hope having the IUD removed improves your health and well being!
Sorry I am so behind on emails, by the way... I promise I haven't forgotten you! :)
Hugs,

Yes, and I know it sounds silly but in some ways I was disappointed recently when I actually found out I wasn't pregnant. I began to suspect it when I was over a week late with my period and I felt off, but I know that it's better to be prepared and mindful about it!
Laugh...I understand. No problems! I tend to be a bit long-winded. As I said, no worries!
Hugs,
Celeste
Really? Well, so that could be it too. After the "death" of the IUD, you find yourself disappointed (5 Cups) that you're not pregnant (Empress) yet.
Give it time, hon. You've only just had the IUD removed several days ago. I suppose you could be grateful that the IUD did its job while it was in there! And now that it's gone, obviously your chances of pregnancy have skyrocketed! :)
Such a nice reading--and nice exchange with Celeste about it.
One other thing to add, from my glance at the cards is that there's a progressive lightening of the sky from left to right. So that the sky in The Death card is darkest; lighter in the Five; and restored to whole-day-brightness in The Empress.
To me, that suggests that the progression here is LOSS, MOURNING, RECOVERY--and now the Empress is ready to reestablish her sovereignty of health and well-being.
