Our first inclination with the Lord of Disappointment, is that none of us look forward to this card turning up ..but since turn up it will, I thought perhaps it would help to have a discussion about how to reduce levels of disappointment in life, how to improve our chances of contentment and how to deal with disappointment when, inevitably, we have to face it. First and foremost, its important to realise that, whilst our disappointments often come from outside sources, the reason that we experience them is because of internal beliefs and expectations. We are disappointed when the company refuses to offer us that job we wanted so much. We are disappointed when friends, lovers, family let us down, fail to treat us in a fashion we had believed they should. We are disappointed when something does not work out the way we had hoped. Yet we cannot go through life without expectations. We cannot protect ourselves by holding negative expectations. Hope is a fighter no matter how much we try to squash it down, it pops back up again often in the sneakiest fashion. So .perhaps we simply have to be brave enough to hope, honest enough to assess our expectations realistically, courageous enough to accept that sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we are going to be hurt by disappointment. Maybe we have to make the choice to risk ourselves, and accept that sometimes we will get let down.
So on a day ruled by the 5 of cups, dont go looking for disappointment, spend some time assessing your expectations. Look for imbalance, or lack of realism in your expectations of people and situations. If you find any then be true to yourself, and adjust those expectations till they serve you better. Look for negative expectations (nothing good ever happens to me; I am always going to be lonely/miserable/unhappy; I am too weak/inadequate to achieve what I need) and tackle these with gusto .they create darkness in your life, and serve no purpose. Drive them out of your head with determined use of the affirmation, and agree to go after them every single time they surface. And finally .expect a nice surprise in every single day you live. Expect to find something that fills your heart with joy and gratitude every single day. Go looking for these things .make it part of your daily routine to discover something which makes joy arise within you .

Creative Tarot: I lined up these stories with a tarot card that describes a similar situation. Standing up for what you believe in is a Seven of Wands kind of thing, and so I placed it there. Perhaps if you draw the same card during a reading, you can use that persons story as an inspiration for you to find the same strength. Losing a manuscript and needing to start over is the destructive element of the Tower. Dealing with disappointment and humiliation corresponds with the Five of Cups.
Reversed Cards: The Death card in the tarot is primarily ruled by the on-again, off-again planet Pluto. Pluto is the planet of regeneration and unavoidable change. It keeps the balance of life and death moving so that natural cycles of the physical world can continue. But here in the retrograde aspect, you have been given a reprieve like a small gap, just long enough for you to get your head and heart in alignment with the change the Death card brings. This small break in energy is all you need to make sure that you are vibrationally creating the change you want to see happen rather than landing in circumstances that bring about only suffering. Change is going to happen, but you can be proactive about how it plays out and how you engage with it. Or you can fumble your way through whatever the universe dumps on your doorstep. If I know something has to shift, move, or start again, then I prefer to be fully engaged in the creation process of the change. I dont want things just showing up, though sometimes that happens too. But here in the physical plane, you do have free will, and now is the perfect time to use it to your advantage. Because one way or another, the karmic debt of the thirteen is going to be paid.
