3 of Cups - Abundance
Water flow down from golden lotus and flow into red glasses. The combination of gold and red, make it so sophisticated and filling. A typical prosperous colour during Chinese New Yew, full of joy and happiness, and blessing of good luck. Cups = emotion/love, I am having a good guardian such as my late grandparents, my godmother/aunt, makes me always like to go home for dinner, I never feel like want to move out even now I am in my middle age.

Knight of Swords
My guardian angel in Taoist is a male. He is brave, a warrior. I had been through a very dark period on July 2015 till March 2016, without the beliefs on him, I won't be able to pull through, it just the same like how christian embrace Jesus, buddhist worship Buddha etc. From the card can see how the dominant force is so determine and moving forward in great force, just like how it motivate me to move on, follow my own guts feel, be confident and trust myself.

Those men carry those old mentality and behaviour that no longer suitable for current world, it's time to change and let go those poor old mentality, and implement some new methods to improve the current situation.

Ace of Cups
A self recognition is a key to develop more of my intelligence. Self love and appreciation will help me more can make best use of my mind. Maybe all the while I am too focus on facts in daily activities and work, till I neglected my senses, my affection etc. I will have to listen to my heart more instead of too focus on mind, time to develop my senses towards the world !

Day 6: 20.3. Spring/Vernal Equinox - This is the day of balance between day and night, when new things grow and push through the earth, when Kore/Persephone returns from the underworld and brings flowers with her. Today's card calls you to contemplate on creativity and renewal in your own life. Where do you resist change, and where should you embrace it? 

For Southern Hemisphere tarotists who experience Autumn: what are the wilting things and feelings in my life that I should let go? 

Queen of Disks
An earth element, a Capricorn Queen sitting relaxing on the pineapple throne looking at the river flow in the dessert and nourishing the plants, she knew it well by not needing her to do anything, nature will takes it course. Like asia zen poetry said : when spring coming, plants will grow by itself. This is a nature senses and confident towards the environment. Before it reaching this relaxing path, there must be alot of effort and challenges that need to go through. Now it's time to sit back and take time for myself. Those fighting and competing period had over, what I owe myself a peace and zen moment to nourish my mind and soul. Let go of those aggressive will be my key word for this year at very least.

Challenge yourself to inform yourself and get to know cultures, topics or people that until held irrational negative associations for you. How can you become an ambassador for inclusiveness and harmony in your society and immediate surrounding? 

10 of Cups - Satiety
To embrace what we have we possess now, to appreciate what we have now is important, human are greedy which I don't deny. Greed will make a person become aggressive, hunger, unsatisfied etc. It will tend to lead us to the wrong path or wrongdoing. 10 of the cups shown there is no water overspill, it just fill up the cups, it just nice and sufficient. Appreciate what we have today. If we need to venture something new, we need to take time to observed and think properly, what's the next to inspire us in life.

Understand what this bell wants to tell you, and in the coming month, try to make its voice heard. 

8 of Wands - Swiftness
This card is a sign of difficulties will overcome, obstacles can be settle if we change our perception or view towards it. If I can change my perspective, look at things in a new directions, I think I can find the solution.
