Is there a goal that you have been meaning to start for a while now? The Ace of Pentacles (rev.) is reminding you that it’s time to begin. The suit of Pentacles relates to diligent work. It is connected with earth and the material. The Ace of any suit symbolizes the beginning of a journey. This card is reversed, which indicates that that energy is being blocked in some way. Your motivation to take the first steps just hasn’t been there. I’ve been sent to tell you… Get your ass up and take action!!! Are you going to shit or get off the pot? You have spent way too long thinking about maybe doing it some day. Well today is that day. Carpe diem.
The Chariot is the vehicle that is ready and waiting to take you to your destination. All you have to do is get in. The Universe supports you in this endeavor, but you have to steer the cart. The two bulls pulling you have their own wills and desires and they are strong. It will take someone who is even more determined than they are to guide them. You cannot simply lay back and enjoy the ride. Active participation is required. If you choose to accept the challenge and take over the reins your reward will be well worth it.
The Prince of Wands reversed is a rebellious teenager. He’s out until all hours of the night drinking, smoking, and having unprotected sex. This is the energy that you must resist this week if your goals are truly a priority. You may have spent the last few weeks engaging in self-sabotaging behaviors. Instead of planning and preparing your meals, so that you could lose that five pounds you’ve been eating cookies, cake, and chips, then washing it all down with two glasses of wine. You figure you’re already behind, so why bother? That is exactly the attitude that will keep you where you are. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. And if you take even one step forward every day, you will eventually cross all one thousand miles. However, taking steps backwards will just as certainly take you in the opposite direction. It’s time to put on those big girl panties and leave childish ways behind. You got this!
As important as it is to work on yourself and your goals, it is just as important to reach out and help others along the way. The Ten of Cups represents our own overflow of blessings and resources, but that Prince of Wands is doing his damndest to kick those cups over, causing us to forget what we have. Take some time out this week to fill someone else’s cup. Don’t let that meddling teenager make you miss the opportunity to be a blessing to a person in need. Smile at the frowning stranger you pass on the street. Take that phone call from the friend whose problems you usually ignore.
Peace, Love, & Light,
Crystal
