The Cat’s Perspective
“Come here. Let me lick your forehead. You look like you’ve had a rough hunt.” As a White Persian—a breed famous for its serene, gentle nature and regal, flowing presence—you are the emotional sanctuary of your territory. Like the Queen on her coral throne, you know a secret is being kept before it is even spoken. The Queen of Cups is the Healer. She knows you are sad before you do. She is deeply intuitive, loving, and emotionally safe. Your empathy is a superpower. Your heart is a vast ocean of secrets, and right now, you are being called to trust your gut instincts above all else. Listen to what your whiskers are telling you in the dark; you have the wisdom to navigate even the deepest feelings without drowning.
