My Interpretation:
Today’s reading began as a quiet check-in with where my energy and emotions truly are right now. I pulled the Five of Pentacles, and immediately it spoke to the deep sense of being alone in my grief for Honey. It feels like something I must walk through by myself. Even though I know support is there, this is ultimately a personal journey—one I need to experience fully in order to move through it.
When I asked what I would like to accomplish in April, and what energy would best support me, I drew the Six of Cups, Five of Cups, and Eight of Swords. At first, this surprised me. I had been thinking in practical terms—moving the house forward, starting renovations—but instead, the message felt much deeper. It gently redirected me back to my grief, showing me that perhaps what I truly need is to move through it, rather than around it.
There is a realisation here that healing does not diminish love. Just because I don’t cry doesn’t mean I don’t love her. And yet, part of me still feels that if I don’t express my grief outwardly, I am somehow not honouring the bond we shared. But crying endlessly won’t bring her back, nor will it change the beauty of the life we had together. What it does show me is that I need to find balance—I need to allow myself to feel, but also to live.
I feel a strong pull toward building a bridge between past and present. The Six of Cups invites me to remember Honey with joy—to shift my focus from the pain of losing her to the fullness of the life we shared. I feel called to honour her through photos, artwork, and memories placed lovingly around my home. To look at her and feel warmth, nostalgia, and gratitude, rather than only sadness.
The Five of Cups and Eight of Swords together highlight how easily I can become consumed by grief. When I cry deeply, it can leave me feeling drained, exhausted, and even physically unwell. It’s as though I become trapped in those emotions, unable to move freely. This awareness feels important—it’s not about suppressing grief, but about recognising when it no longer serves me.
In the space of support, I pulled the Ace of Cups, and this felt incredibly comforting. It speaks of a new emotional beginning—a renewed relationship, perhaps not with someone else, but with myself. A new way of holding this love, this loss. The image of the overflowing cup feels symbolic of a heart that still holds so much love, even in grief. Especially on a day like Easter, it feels aligned with themes of renewal and quiet rebirth.
I sense that this is an invitation to reshape my connection with Honey—to carry her forward with me in a way that feels full, rather than empty. To recognise how she continues to support my work, particularly in mediumship, animal communication, and helping others too. Her presence may have changed form, but the bond remains.
When I asked what I should let go of, I was surprised to see Strength. But perhaps this is about releasing the need to always “hold it together.” Letting go of the pressure to be strong. Allowing myself to cry when it comes and equally allowing myself not to cry without guilt. It feels like permission to soften—to stop controlling the experience and instead let it move naturally through me.
At the base of the reading sits the Ten of Cups, and it feels deeply reassuring. In this deck, it shows two birds together with a heart above them, with their small family below them—new life emerging. It speaks of love, home, and emotional fulfilment. It reminds me of what I still have—a home filled with love, with my dogs, with connection and meaning.
There is grief here, yes—but there is also life continuing to grow around it. And in that, I feel both comforted and quietly hopeful.
