Three of Cups
Astrology: Mercury in Cancer | Element: Water | Time: 7/2–7/11
Two angel-mermaid statues stand facing one another. They extend their hands toward the center, jointly holding up a crown of light that is still gathering itself. The radiance falls like rain, illuminating the floating stone-slab path below. Each slab is engraved with a different crest. At the end of the road, directly beneath the crown, a sword—symbolizing strength and courage—hangs downward and is planted into the stone, like the legends of heroes: there is always someone who runs toward that heroic story. A goddess’s hymn, a crown’s coronation, a celebration of the universe.
