I've begun reinterpreting the Tarot. All that old symbolism, kings, pages, queens, death, hardly any of it is relevant nowadays.

Mine, mine will be relevant.

The King of Cups

He is the King. The blue of his shirt represents the Celestial, or Spiritual Kingdom, the Brown of his trousers the Lower Worlds or Subterranean, the cup, encrusted with gems and overflowing, his falling from the earthly thrown, golden Crown, overturned and the golden sun risen high in the sky suggests perhaps he overdid it last night. His earthly kingdom (green throne) may be neglected for a spell while he recovers.

INVERTED: The wine runneth back into the glass and he has a chance at an early start.

The Mechanic

First of all we notice the Ape, or monkey, with his red hungover eyes, throwing a bone into the sky that is becoming a crescent, or MONKEY wrench. In the background we see a sky blue Volvo, over which peak the golden rays of the sun. A dead bird lies upon the ground, probably stricken by the wrench.

This card represents evolution, the continual striving for perfection at the expense of others and greater dreams, the hope that the wrench might be able to fix the car. Travel is to be avoided. The human/simian features of the monkey suggest the evolution, that he would like to attempt the repair of your Volvo, only he is not yet certain which is the wrench end. The dead bird represents spirituality crushed by earthly ambition.

INVERTED: Travel can be attempted.
