Tarot for Monday morning
Monday morning instructions!
Today I pulled the five of wands as my reflection/advice/guidance/lens through which to view the day/perspective on things/card…..in my case I was specifically asking for a card about how to approach health.
Conflict, clash of egos, will you stand up for what you believe?
Ha! No escape….the five of wands does not tell you to trust that healing is happening, or that you need to rest, or that you are making steady progress, no it says there’s conflict, challenge, and perhaps a clash of egos…‘you need to compete for your health!’…..
I knew exactly what it meant. I/me/Sue was going to have to get fired up about what I believed and fight for it……and yes there is the aspect of conflict, I want to do x and I know I should be doing y. There’s a definite clash of egos, mine!
The way I see the five of wands is it is asks us to harness our fighting spirit and stand up for what we believe in. Even when there’s conflict. The good news is, if you compete you succeed
When this card appears in a reading, it can of course represent arguments with others…..and our job is to be discerning, what is important and what isn’t. Sometimes we need a little challenge to know what is important to us, a challenge that tears away the status quo, that challenges our comfort zone perhaps, and if others are involved, the clash of egos at play. Either way we still have to find a way to stand up for ourselves.
The Queen who nurtures, the ‘Earth Mother’, grounded practical and
Even though I knew exactly what was being asking of me, I thought ok Tarot give me a clarifying card and I picked the Queen of Pentacles. The Queen of Hearth and Home is how I first learned this Queen’s qualities. The way this Queen shows her love, as all Queen’s are ‘mother’s, is by being wonderfully grounded practical and caring. She has that earth mother quality, a lover of harmony and beauty. I imagine if she were my mother there would be delicious healthy food on the table, the home would be tidy and harmoniously decorated with a bunch of wild flowers she had picked on the table. I can almost smell the apple pie. I do joke but what I do feel is the Queen of Pentacles open invitation to nurture, to take care of practical needs, with a sense of stability, safety and security. With the basics taken care of we can flourish and this is her great value.
Equally she is very good at business, finances, managing people and projects. She knows what is needed to give things the foundations they need to flourish, and therefore needs to be well valued! And that means financially too.
Do come and have a tarot reading with me on line or in Battersea to find the support you need to flourish.
