The Queen of Cups advises us to seek out someone who focuses on what their legacy will be in the world, and who isn't afraid to destroy in the process of creation. Research is helpful in getting a point across to those around us as we seek resolution to various issues, particularly those surrounding our home, property, and romantic attractions. We're magnetically drawn to studies of hidden or esoteric things and to exploring our emotional, intuitive inner selves, so time spent alone can be invaluable here.

The Sun comes up again, keeping us focused on who we are and how we present ourselves in the world. Recognition comes through spiritual achievement and the benefit we choose to afford to others, particularly our partners and loved ones. While we can clearly see and understand the boundaries of what we've already begun creating, an air of enchantment makes all things feel possible.

The Sun enlightens our worlds, bringing focus not only to ourselves but to the people and places around us. We prove our worth through our accomplishments, and both charitable and spiritual efforts are favored. Marriage and other mergers benefit from careful self-assessment.

The Eight of Cups urges us to leave behind those things we've taken as far as they can go, be they projects, relationships, or ideals. We want to move on or try something new, and what's important is that we consider carefully our actions and the dreams we desire to bring into existence. Choices made here will have repercussions well into the future and we must be careful not to be fooled by illusion.
