The Ace of Cups shows that you're in a place where you can start loving yourself in a new way. Clean slate in your self-relationship. You get to skip to the last 10 minutes of Groundhog Day, where you're Bill Murray and all the other characters at the same time, and you're just kind and gracious in every instance.
.
Love yourself like you've never been a dick to yourself or self-sabotaged or self-punished. Love yourself like you are as worthy of your own love as everyone else. Love yourself like you're not embarrassed about loving yourself.
.
And act with love. Give yourself good food, rest, time outside, time with friends. Forgive yourself when you mess up. Don't say mean stuff about yourself. Be honest with yourself. Basically, treat yourself like a person you love.
.
If you feel uncomfortable about this, that means it's extra important for you right now. Something that can help is a tiny bit of brain bait and switch. Think of a person or animal you love, and feel love beaming from you to them. Then keep the beam going, and swap in your own image. See what that feels like for you.
.
One of the points here is to begin to recognize that the love you feel for others is coming from you. You are the ever-flowing source of love. Only your own love will ever fill your need for love.

This is kind of a benevolent state of dissociation, and it's making me think of @bunnymichael Higher Self project. They're amazing and I recommend following them and supporting them on Patreon if you can.

ALSO I just learned that The Ace of Cups was one of the first all-female rock bands, formed during 1967's Summer of Love.
