3 of Cups. You are involved with a group that is taking increasing amounts of time away from other pursuits. Perhaps it is a club, a community organization or church group. Perhaps you are contributing your efforts as a volunteer, or officer.
The Ace of Cups in the Attack position tells us you are getting more and more involved, more than is comfortable, and your obligations to the group are conflicting with your need for personal space.
Increasingly the group makes demands on you that you don't have the time or energy to meet. Quite possibly you have been too eager to please, and fearful of saying no when favors are asked of you. You are being used, and find yourself too often throwing up your hands in surrender (10 of Swords) and suffering for it. The Ace of Wands (Turn) suggests that you come to the realization that you must pay more attention to your own needs, and stand up to the others regardless of the consequences.
The story has a happy ending (King of Cups). By taking a stand you achieve stability and control in your life. Though you are taking more time away from your friends and colleagues, and showing a new sense of independence, you are respected more than before.
Do you recognize this narrative in your life? How have you handled it?
