The art of card reading/Sagie Mendelboim
First of all, I remind you that one of the commenters below will receive (or will receive) a personal message for the coming week.
So please comment below to request the message.
You should also indicate the topic of the message and a little background.
The terminology of "lesson or gift" is ancient.
Well, maybe I exaggerated a little - it hatched somewhere in the late nineties, when the concept of a "new era" burst into consciousness and shook the world for the better.
It was the era of Louise El Hay, the Bombumla Festival, smoke-filled journeys to India and back and digging through a mountain of self-help books in Stymatsky.
Then they also started talking about "classes".
"Listen, it was a difficult date, but voila, sister, it's all a lesson" and "I had a really difficult conversation with my father, but there's no doubt that it's a lesson for both of us" These are just some of the sentences we used to say to each other right and left, and these are altogether wonderful sentences that indicate the need The panic and burning in real spiritual development - at every crossroads of life, at every turning point, small or large.
In fact, the "talk" about a lesson is repeated today more than ever, so maybe we should understand the most intriguing immortal question in the history of existence: no, not "to be or not to be?"
but "is this a lesson or a gift?".
Before all of this we will explain about the test card and inquiries in our lives - the card of two cups.
The Two of Cups card speaks of courtship and the word "courtship" often evokes the marital bond in us, but in fact every aspect of our life begins with courtship.
When we measure a garment, go to choose a new apartment, find out about a field of study, even when we taste something new, we are in the courtship phase.
The courtship phase in any situation is a phase of examination and observation, but quite understandably, in a real courtship our emotions overflow so we find it difficult to conduct a comprehensive examination like this, when we are head over heels in love.
However, Belle planted, the card always calls us to woo, and the wooer is a super strategist.
He doesn't just get carried away by the current, but plans his steps carefully and investigates the object of his courtship in depth.
And this is because the cups in the Tarot do not necessarily represent a raging emotion - but abundance.
That's why our suitor checks how abundant the option in front of him is, and how much he needs to invest to win it.
If we manage to achieve such a courting skill, we won't even need Cupid (well, maybe a little, and by the way Cupid is the mythological figure on which the card is based).

So what's the deal with lessons and gifts?
If so, many are the customers who come to us to know "Is he the one?", "Will he come back?"
- Yes, out of 1000 readings, 999 layouts will be made on the above topic (and the last question will be about the mother-in-law).
In other words, it is the most common and the hottest topic both in tarot groups, and among the readers themselves.
So what does Two Cups say about it?
Basically, two cups, as we said, tells the questioner to "woo", but in most cases (although not in all) the questioner has already wooed above and beyond and you can certainly say that she is the "pursuer" in the relationship.
So why in the name of all masters, do we call her to court?
Because the courtship, as we established, is a strategic test, is this guy a lesson or a gift?
I mean, at this stage she has already collected enough information about him, to understand if this guy frustrates her, comes back and returns, regrets and changes his mind from week to week?
Or is he consistent and loyal and "there for her".
She doesn't need the cards to know that - she does.
So the cards in the courtship phase tell her, let's see if it is a long-term investment, since we said that the courtier is a very smart strategist - who examines the abundance of the "product" in front of him even if this product is a relationship.
A suitor will not simply invest in a property that does not yield, that does not return the investment.
He doesn't court "just" but wisely.
So what lesson or gift is ahead of her?

In lessons there are gifts and in gifts there are lessons - but the difference between them is huge
Let's face it.
There are people in our lives who are mostly "gifts": they are always willing to help, funny, compassionate, attentive, genuine and reliable.
Their advice is worth gold, or they will come at 2 in the morning to rescue us with the vehicle.
Obviously there are shortcomings and difficulties in every relationship, maybe there will be fights, disagreements or challenges.
It's completely normal, but in total, they are a treasure in our lives, and we know who they are.
Some people are lessons - and I say that even gently.
Some will call them "takers", but it is not necessarily money, but energy.
Maybe they talk for an hour and a quarter about themselves and don't ask how we are, maybe they are petty, or overwhelm us with feelings of guilt, maybe they ask for loans or are simply exhausting.
They mainly - do not consider our needs.
There is no doubt that they contain wonderful lessons: a lesson in setting boundaries, a lesson in saying "no", a lesson in resisting temptations, a lesson in standing up for ourselves, especially lessons related to maintaining our abundance, and protecting it.
Pay attention to the difference - some give, by nature, abundance, and some - take a lot of abundance from us.
Now in reality things are of course more "grey", and not always sharp and clear, but when the card appears, and especially in connection with a relationship that does not materialize, which frustrates us here, it is important to listen to the signpost and do a home inspection, or rather an abundance inspection.
Has this person that we are so attached to, given a lot?
Or mostly a lesson?
Was the giving real, reliable, prolonged?
Or temporary?
Is this a person who wants to work on the relationship, or is he full of excuses like a grenade and nothing is enough for him?
It is important to note that there are also people in our lives who started the relationship as "givers" and became "takers" and we feel it in the flesh, when we are exhausted after meeting them, or we give a lot of energy and receive little - therefore understanding who is a lesson and who is a gift is critical.
That's why the card doesn't always say "woo" it says "woo the abundance" go to the place where the good place is, the flowing spring and reciprocity.
That's where we should be.
