ons attitu ; group ativitis ; govrnmnt, ounsllors ; lov

 L65/pg 11

received ; spiritual and intellectual aspirations ; ideals ; fulfil-

ment ; what you yield and how you benefit others :

This position is fortunate for the 4 of Cups in all of the

above matters . A strong emotional need for friendships draws one

to group activities bringing forth numerous friendships, a lot of

whom are women . This card shows the love of Mother Nature and

the unconscious understanding of her secrets . Assimilation of

of the workings of life by osmosis when involving oneself in the

I above activities causes a gradual buildup of knowledge . This

knowledge is then turned and directed back into ones personal

projection to the world around and ones method of communication,

benefiting all those around you . You must learn to give of

yourself and not just take . "Osmosis" .

ON MATTERS OF responsibility and contribution to others ;

t humanistic concerns ; karmic debts ; unresolved problems ; hidden

resources ; the unconscious ; sorrow ; health afflictions ; secret

enemies ; hospitals ; secret societies ; self undoing ; total

identification :

Flexibility and intuitiveness shown by the 4 of Cups in this

position tend to out-balance stability . The karma one must learn

is perseverance ; to hold firm in the face of all adversity to

change bad into good . This is extremely difficult, for you are

the Chameleon quickly changing to fit all situations for the sake

of peace . The hidden enemy is emotion which constantly brings

unresolved problems 'to the surface until such time as you can

i tnaious rsour that invarily wins out in th long run .

Thr is a p lov for all of humanity that may tak on into

aras or institutions of slflss srvi . Chamlon .
