4 MOTHER

Femininity, family, young child, feelings, devotion, heartfelt conversation.

Cancer/Moon.

Mother.

A water surface (sea, ocean) over which a full Moon rises in the starry night sky.

From the water emerges the figure of a mother-woman holding a solar child in her arms.

Water is the nutritious broth for all living things, from which life emerged. Being in emotions deprives one of solid support.

The Moon reflects sunlight, giving birth to this solar child. The lunar path is a distortion of reality, life in an imagined world.

The archetype of the mother - here one can see similarity to the Madonna, the Virgin Mary.

This archetype - a woman with a child in her arms - exists in all cultures. It is a symbol of care and life.

Woman in the image of the Mother of God - the birth and sustenance of life.

Woman holding a child - care, guardianship.

Water surface - source of all life on Earth.

Starry sky and full Moon, lunar path on the water surface - the unconscious.

The Moon shines with reflected light of the Sun - unconscious or distorted reality, feelings, emotions, intuition, instincts.

Flowers on the woman's dress reach toward the sun - upward growth, advancement.

Golden apple - symbol of Life, Light.

This card signifies care, guardianship, readiness to sacrifice oneself for someone else's sake.

Signifies inability to see personality and individuality in others, incapability to accept another as they are.

This can be a day of household concerns when you immerse yourself completely in cleaning, cooking, etc. (Cancer - strong theme of home).

The day may be devoted to children, husbands who need to be cared for, fed, protected, loved.

It may also be connected with parents, when a person returns the efforts invested in them, and they accept his care.

This is also a day of worry about matters that are vitally important to the person.

What will come easily today, without tension.

It's necessary to show care for your family, children, spouse. Show attention to your parents.

On this day it's important to understand that any planted seed must be cultivated, cared for.

To receive much, one must invest much. Results match effort.

Today one can learn to accept another person without conditions, as a mother accepts her child.

Devotion to one's family, one's roots.

People around you want to see in a person a caring mother/father, wife/husband. They are inclined to receive attention and maternal love from them.

Desire to care for, look after someone or something, or the person themselves seeks protection and support in other people. Capacity for empathy, acceptance of another.

Immersion in some action - caring for loved ones, one's affairs without selfishness and profit. Intuitiveness, softness, sensitivity, reliance on instincts.

Natural, calm, but not long-lasting. Due to the Moon's changeability, there will be changes in the future.

Tender, caring.

But when considering relationships between man and woman, this can mean that one of the partners very strongly, too much, manifests maternal instinct.

These are not relationships of equal partners - someone takes on the role of mother. And not necessarily the woman.

Then the other partner becomes the 'child'. And this can eventually become a source of certain problems in the relationship.

Because such care also restricts (the child's space is limited by the mother's arms).

The Moon shines with reflected light, so one of the partners may dissolve into the other. This can result in loss of individuality.

Don't lose yourself. To completely adapt means to lose one's individuality. Also beware of overprotection and overfeeding, which can also be a problem.

Always remain yourself, don't lose your individuality. Don't excessively care for another.

Beware of excessive emotions and worries, especially for another person.

Be attentive, nurture, cherish and care for. Adapt. Don't make sudden movements. Wait. Accept the situation as it is.

Positive, this card is always effective.

Fluidity, full moon, information distortion, instability. Motherhood, activation of the maternal principle. Emotional security. Theme of deep feelings.

For a man - problems with women, didn't receive maternal love. Ability to adapt to circumstances - adaptation. Attachment, unwillingness to leave or let go. Theme of the inner child.

Warm, trusting relationships, one partner in the child position, the other in the mother position.
