THE PAGE OF CUPS in Tarot is a clear symbol of the zodiac sign Pisces and its ruler, the planet Neptune. July brings teenagers or Millennials who are not grounded in the real world. They may be male but dress as females, or females, dressed as males. This is very Neptune. Another reality. An alternative holiday from the real world.
THE ASTROLOGY SHOWS BASTILLE DAY, JULY 14TH IS IMPORTANT. We have an exact square from Neptune at 25 Pisces to Venus at 25 Gemini. This may pick up your natal chart if you have anything at 25 degrees. You can check now if you are a Premium Member at my website, because your chart is always there to view.
The Neptune-Venus clash is shown in the card. This is someone who wants to relate; wants to get closer; is confused and confusing. This is a non-reality game. Be careful how you get into it. There are some odd rules with this teenager or younger adult.
The Mercury-Neptune trine on 17th July (Mercury 25 Cancer trine Neptune 25 Pisces) picks up the same degree.
It’s possible the younger person you are dealing with has factors at 25 degrees. You can order a Family and Friends chart for him/her if so, to check. Mercury-Neptune speaks a different language. Sometimes visual. Often, baffling. It can be poetic or nonsensical. Sometimes surreal. See the cup in the card? Be aware of pharmaceutical or alcohol-based influence. Grounded people can usually take the altered state; the Page of Cups cannot.
LEO WEATHER NOW also has an impact. Leo rules children, teenagers and young adults. The heirs to the throne. The pretenders to the throne. The Sun enters Leo in the final week of July, pulling in July-August transits in the sign of the King and Queen, who has princes and princesses in the court. Some are direct heirs; some are pretenders, for whatever reason.
HOW DOES THIS CARD TALK TO YOU? If you do have Leo chart factors then your Fifth House of parenthood and substitute parenthood, mentoring, teaching and guiding - fills up from July.
THE PAGE OF CUPS needs to drop anchor, become grounded, stop fooling around and take what is there and do something concrete with it. Yet, this kind of creative, alternative spirit does not respond well to too much reality! You can’t really bark orders at the Page of Cups.
The trick here is to enter into his/her reality on his/her terms and try to speak his/her language. Whatever that is. Pisces is two fishes. One is in the cup. The other may be with you.
THIS BRINGS US TO THE ZODIAC SIGN OF PISCES which may feature in this person’s natal chart, or in your own. Neptune is shown by the sea in the background. All Neptune worlds exist in a separate space, rather like the ocean and its marine life and strange aquatic rules. Classically, there are no boundaries. Nothing and nobody is controlled and contained with Neptune.
So this is the background of the Page of Cups. He or she has a Neptune/Pisces background. Negotiating with this person is really important if you want to meet him/her halfway. It’s rather like coaching a young actor or coaxing a budding fashion designer/artist/boutique owner. This person is really not the individual you find wearing a high-vis vest and working or learning a trade, unless it’s building the stage set of The Rocky Horror Show.
If you want to pull another card to see what it all means for you, personally, the Smith-Waite Tarot is free to shuffle on my website now. See you next month. If you want to continue the conversation beyond the Comments space here, I’m @jessicacadams. Thank you for reading.
