Tabula Mundi Tarot: Cancer Decan (2-4 Cups) + The Chariot June 1st 2025

THE CHARIOT (CANCER) – Beautiful energy that is initiated through The Chariot’s force of self control and willpower to manifest + nurture + protect. The Charioteer is the will driven soul directing the Supernal Triad (Kether (Crown), Binah (Discipline), and Chokmah (Knowledge) forces in the form of the “Hippocampi”, (Capricorn sea goats). Always in communication between the land and sea, these two white and black sea horses are guided by the intuition of the Charioteer. The white horse represents feminine purity and the black horse the masculine power and mystery of the soul. These polarizing energies are what the Charioteer is keeping in control while protecting the Lovers’ elixir of life that is held within the Holy Grail. The strength of intuition is in the form of a canopy of water that hovers over the Charioteer. The Chariot archetype represents the warrior’s true will to reach the higher Self which is the achievement of the “Great Work!”

2 of Cups (Venus) – Venus in Cancer. The union to manifest something greater from opposing forces, The two black and white “hippocampi” have emerged to reveal the “will to love and the power to create”. The Empress (Venus) presence comes in the form of the two bees representing fertility and the wheat shafts representing new abundance. The Full Moon above and the New Moon below indicates the recycle flow of water to maintain its purity and the harmonic movement of the entwined hippocampi. The “S” shaped form of this union is of feminine creativity and the “X” shaped form (around the heart center) is of masculine “resolve”. The “2 of Cups” depicts how the union of opposite can create a loving and creative environment to flourish from..

3 of Cups (Mercury) – Mercury in Cancer. Giving form to love by merging water with the creative spirit. The three cups have one hand each holding sources of abundance. These cups represent the planetary decan rulers for Cancer. The hand holding the wheat (Empress) has the waxing quarter moon behind it and the hand holding a pomegranate (Priestess) has the waning quarter moon behind it. The middle hand holding the golden apple (Magus) is raised above the full moon possibly showing its intention as a messenger of higher knowledge as part of the Orphic egg’s development. The lotus reveals the moment of spiritual purity and rebirth of the Self through abundance. With the “3 of Cups” in the sephira of Binah of Water (Saturn influenced) reminds us to enjoy the momentary experience of love and abundance as it has not fully taken a complete form.

4 of Cups (Moon) – Moon in Cancer. A moment of reflecting on what has been created. The pearl in the shell is the completion of its manifestation and while placed in the center of this wave, its recognized beauty is temporary before it disappears in the wave to begin the next form of its journey. The cups have transformed into the four phases of the moon, A cycle of emotional wisdom has reached its peak and a new phase awaits.

This Cancer decan has the underlying message about developing our strength of will to create something greater and how we take this “greatness” to the next level.
