Feline Mona Lisa: Queen of Cups Tarot Compassion
Full moon wishes and Mona Lisa smiles dear ones. It’s me, Merlin and another full moon look at tarot insights with the Queen of Cups.
We’re still in the watery, moon-ruled sign of Cancer, the 4th sign of the zodiac.
In the tarot, there are four queens, one for each suit: cups correspond to Water, wands correspond to Fire, swords correspond to Air and and Pentacles correspond to Earth. Our tarot of the week is the Queen of Cups. She’s a sweetie pie, mother of kindness and when she pops up in a tarot spread, it either denotes a real person like that in your life or her symbolic qualities. Why wait for her to show up? You can access the milk of human kindness yourself. The card is all about tapping into our cup of compassion. Is it over-flowing or experiencing a drought?
The easiest way to tap into a Queen of Cups kindness is to snuggle a kitten or your favorite kitty.
If you don’t have one around, a cute video will do. You know one look at kitten cuteness and the coldest heart will thaw. The Queen of Cups loves all animals and perfectly represents those who do cat rescue and volunteer at shelters and for animal causes. I suspect there are a bunch of Queen and King ( the male Mr. Sensitive) of Cups at our Black Cats Tell campaign to help make a difference in the lives of black cats.
If you’re in need a kitty cuteness, watch the video that launched the career of Cole and Marmalade in 2012. Over 265 videos and 91 million views later, not so little Cole is sharing his story in our book. His parents are on a well deserved vacay and I wish I could say my parents are are too.
Alas, Layla is launching Kickstarter Phase 2, perhaps today if the cat gods are feeling compassionate. So far the quick cut and paste, upload and tinkering is taking longer and she’s doing a major re-do So what else is new? Layla could use some compassion today. If you’re feeling generous, you know what to do. If not, watch some more cat videos.
Before you think I’ve gone all GLBTQ on you, rest assured I’m still a mancat, but the Mona Lisa fit the bill today. She has the dreamy intuitive quality of a Queen of Cups. The queen will smile and even laugh but it’s the warm, quiet knowing of an empath. Not sure if you are a super sensitive? Take the Empath Test
Tell me how you’re feeling and what would YOU like this week? Extra purrs to a couple of our dear readers who had to escort their cats to the great beyond.
I must say, there has been a lot of traffic in these parts, but it’s like getting to the beach house after a very long drive. It’s that glorious of opening the car door, stretching your legs in the fresh air of a new or favorite vacation spot. Ah, dear departed kitties, you have arrived at your destination. I’ll be serving niptinis by the pool at 5.
Love and purrs of compassion,
Merlin

Sometimes Cats Herd You
That’s such an adorable video! We won’t tell you how many times the head peep just watched it.
Layla Morgan Wilde
Yup, it works every time!

I got the Unicorn Goddess Empath. I am looking forward to Kickstarter phase 2.
Layla Morgan Wilde
I didn’t know there were so many different kinds. I’m a the Moon Goddess Empath. Phase 2 in early bird mode is up before midnight!
Sweet Purrfections
I am The Unicorn Goddess Empath. Agree with some of what it said, but not all.
Layla Morgan Wilde
She has all good things in her cup, water and maybe wine? I haven’t seen the real Mona Lisa in years. The Louvre is way too crowded!
Lola
I scored extremely high on the empath test, which is no surprise to me. I need to shield myself from other people’s energies. The Queen of Cups was a great card for today.
Layla Morgan Wilde
No surprise about the high score and yes about energetic shield. Glad it the cards resonated with you.
Summer
My human scored somewhere in the middle of the empath scale, which is probably about right – she’s a big city girl who loves her busy, mostly-urban lifestyle and, as it said in the results, “in terms of being a healer, you more or less are good at keeping other peoples troubles out of your life.” Which is okay, because healing is MY job!
Layla Morgan Wilde
That’s a pretty accurate reading from what I know of your mom.
ellen
A nice card indeed. The empath test was interesting and pretty spot on, altho I cant be near water (beach) since the closest is like half the country away.
Merlin you’re a wise old soul, my Monday is complete now, well except for working in the garden later. Planting some daffodils for next year ya know.
Some feral kitties need to be trapped, goodness their Momma is wiley. She did have them out today, and all three were dong little cat dances around her. Smiling time just watching them.
Layla Morgan Wilde
Ha, I should have mentioned a pond, pool or lake for our midwest friends. Good luck trapping 🙂 xoxoxo
Kathryn
Merlin is wise. So happy to see him here. I know he enjoys his niptinis.
Think I will try to make nip-tea for myself, except I believe it does not help hoomans.
Layla Morgan Wilde
Nip tea is good for humans but a human version of a niptini contains vodka!
Kathryn
Yummy. Think I will be having Cape Codders, Grasshoppers and Sex on the Beach for the rest of the summer. It will be my niptini to enjoy with ma boyz. I will think of Merlin often.
Tamago
I love the video. So cute! Kitten cuteness sure thaws even the cold heart, and gives all of us a big smile 🙂
Layla Morgan Wilde
So true! That video went viral!
Mayka
Yo prefiero el tarot de Marsella…pero bueno, buen post.
Layla Morgan Wilde

Skeeter and Izzy
We hope the Queen brings kindness to the world, it needs it. We will start with ourselves and spread it out from there!

Yes, the ripple effect works xoxoxo
easy rider
that’s an interesting card… although there is water included…. maybe this queen has a lot of good things in her cups for us?
I agree with you, cats bring real smiles …and we haven’t to drive to louvre for a smile, we can have it around us… efurry day :O)
