The Question: My spouse and I seem to be on different energy cycles lately; my energy is up, when his is down and vice versa. It’s making both of us irritable. In what ways can we work through these ups and downs together?
The cards: (Note: this is a three card spread, no specific meanings attached to any of the positions. Cards are listed from left to right.)
The Chariot, The Five of Cups (RX), Nine of Pentacles
Chariot –Â You’re going through some ups and downs, and possibly trying too hard to control the situations that may be causing the highs and lows of your energy cycles; take a deep breath and ride the waves until you can geta grip on your concerns, then figure out what’s rocking the boat
Five of Cups (Reversed) – Release your emotions and don’t worry so much, it’s just a phase, try to expose what’s beneath the surface of your emotions (empty the cups)
Nine of Pentacles – be creative and release your energies in ways that bring stability back into your lives; then relax and enjoy the pleasures and rewards of your life together
 ** I love Stephanie Pui-Mun Law’s interpretation of the Nine of Pentacles, and Barbara Moore’s description in Shadowscapes Tarot:
Her spiritual being is in communion with the material aspects of her life. She strives to make that connection musically through such an elaborate and mechanical instrument as a piano. This piano however is no pure man-made one, as it is tuned to the world around it, inextricably entwined into the fabric of nature. She is alone, in solitude and self-sufficiency. The snail shell she sits on and the spirals in the branches of the trees are a physical representation of the Golden Mean ratio, a continuum that approaches the Infinite, approaches balance, approaches the Ideal.
