You are standing in this sand within the contained space of your personal hourglass.

It seems contradictory, scary even.

Oh! Fear and rejoice.

All of it is yours.

Believe it.

I won't lie to you.

-----------------------

The yellow sand, the blue shadows, the white scorching sun, and the strange mystical cup‑contraption — they all belong to the mythological world of the Two of Cups by Astore Faber. 

The shadows are united by love, a connective tissue that binds us all together. 

They do not need to be reminded of love’s importance. They already know, understand, and experience it.

In this version of the Two of Cups, love is unconditional. It is a state of giving and a state of being. 

This love does not identify itself with friendship, family, parenthood, or sexuality. It is universal — a golden thread in the fabric upon which our lives are embroidered.

The colors.

Yellow is a dream — a social dream, since it belongs to the warmer spectrum of yellow — but still a dream. It is the conception of love, its perception through the human mind. The imagination-driven yellow meets white, the absence of thinking or interpreting. White is pure being and knowing. 

The blue shadows, bathing in both yellow and white, remind us that, in the end, we are all cells of one vast organism governed by the same universal “laws.”

The dark‑pink cup‑contraption symbolizes constant movement, change, transformation, and cycles — the conditions under which we become aware of the golden threads.

• Take a deep breath and focus on the essence of your question.

• Notice which element of the card draws your attention first.

• Notice which element draws your attention second.

• Close your eyes and observe how your mind processes information.

• Write down the ideas that arise, but this time interpret them through the lens of your question.

• Ideally, the image should awaken the answers you seek. If it doesn’t, you may try again or choose another divination or reasoning method.

We all possess the answers we seek — even if we’re tired of hearing that phrase, it remains true. Those answers may be tiny flickers in the dark or bright as the sun. Sometimes, to understand the nudges and clues of our subconscious mind, intuition, the Universe, god, or the spirit world (whatever you prefer), we need a tool. Tarot — in this case, Tarot of the Fool by Astore Faber — can become that tool. It can help us awaken, clarify, or interpret those answers.

Still, tarot is just a tool — a way of playing with symbols and letting the mind speak in its own language. It’s not meant to replace professional guidance, medical or otherwise. If something in your life needs real‑world attention, please turn to someone qualified to help. The cards can offer insight, but the choices — and the responsibility — remain yours.
