Perseverance pays off in the forms of beneficial returns on your energy investments.  Since we’re talking Pentacles (money matters, mostly), this could take the form of returned money or returns on investments of time, effort and energy put into a relationship.  It’s Autumn and it’s Harvest Time!  As you are enjoying the fruits of your labors, give yourself time to step back to re-evaluate your relationships; this is an important part of tending to your garden.

A ray of sunshine breaking through your clouds.  Yes, things are changing and for most folks, the changes are positive and welcomed.  Of course, change itself is difficult and, at times, traumatic.  The feeling today is very spiritual and karmically oriented.  Embrace the truth that change is part of the cyclical nature of Life.  Those problems, headaches and stress of yesterday?  It’s all becoming water under the bridge.  Pay attention to your perspectives, as they are also changing.  Moving on and moving forward means experiencing the Now … not continuing the habit of obsessing on past experience or worrying about “what-if’s”.   Live in this now, grateful and appreciative of all that is now available to you, and realize that much of your life is outside of your control … and that is also okay.  Roll with it.  Accept.  It’s very possible that you will decide to leave your job if you are currently working, even if it’s a good job, because your heart is no longer in it.  You are being called to follow your dream, no matter what it is.  If you have a desire to do something different, but don’t know anybody who does what you want to do, then be bold.  Call up someone who does what you dream of doing and ask him/her if you can have lunch with them or shadow him/her for a few hours.  You’ll be surprised how often such a request is met positively, and perhaps even welcomed.  Financially, the Wheel is generally a good omen for anyone who has been having a rough time for a while with finances.  It means that your circumstances are very likely to change, markedly, for the better.  However, if you have had a long prosperous period, then consider the opposite possibility that your income will drop a little.  And, if that’s the case, be prepared for the rainy day that’s coming.  This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as you also know that it’s all about keeping the balance.

Ah, he (or she) is back and behaving with less than ethical intentions, perhaps even prying into someone’s life where he (or she) ought not.  Feel like someone’s watching you?  You’re probably right.  So, resist the impulse to behave similarly regarding another.  Your employer is observing your work and conduct closely.  Do your job and continue being mindful of the details: perseverance.  Be careful with new-found spiritual friends.  The truth is that you don’t necessarily need a leader from whom to learn and grow your spirituality.

We are rebalancing as we continue to adjust to changes, so it’s no surprise that today we might be feeling less than secure.  Just remember that there is always assistance available when you need it … from both sides of the Veil.  You might feel alone, but you always have the choice to change that feeling.  Reach out, rather than dwell on feeling like you’ve been left out in the cold.  You are not the only one feeling ill at ease at this time.  Ask and you shall receive, friends.  Remind yourself that nothing lasts forever, especially the downtimes as this card illustrates.  Stay mindful of the reality that we are all connected and that allowing others to assist you is your blessing to THEM as well as to yourself.  Try to not do it all yourself and have faith that things will improve, because you know deep down that they will!

Change.  It’s on your horizon, if not already overhead.  Nothing ominous to fear.  Rather, a warning that trying to hang on too tightly to the status quo can be disastrous now.  This doesn’t have to be a dire warning, as change is a fact of life.  Trying to prevent change is like rowing upstream without oars.   So, roll with the changes to keep your head above water.  It’s likely the some people or situations you previously counted on are no longer there to support you in the same way as in the past … it’s only problematic if you allow it to be.  No worries.  You’ll get through this part of your journey all right, especially when you remember that you have all the resources you need within you.  People will feel argumentative.  Do not engage, if you can help it.  If you’re feeling pressure build, take a break, get up off that chair and walk it off outside.  Give yourself the opportunity to release so that you can maintain balance with a more positive attitude.  This is the way to continue receiving new understandings and insights in spite of static in the lines.

Things may seem somewhat confusing to you now.  You may find it hard to understand where you are coming from, much less what others are thinking and feeling!  You need to try to sit with the uncertainty, don’t try to force things or people to do things before they are ready.  Think of this card as the “Pisces” of the tarot deck.  You are definitely in a more psychic and intuitive phase than usual, so it will be important for you to trust your instincts and your impressions, even if you don’t know where they are coming from.  Also, not that you need to be mistrusting, but it will be helpful for you to realize that when this card appears, it is possible that all is not what it seems.  If you feel you cannot trust someone, then you probably can’t.  Go with your gut.  If you are waiting on an answer from someone, it may, unfortunately, take longer than you would like.  Try to remain patient.  This is a very spiritual time and a great time to get a reading, healing work, or other helpful input from spiritual types.  You are more psychically open than usual now; pay attention to your thoughts and feelings and to flashes of information that comes from out of the Blue.  This is also a great time to access great spiritual books of the world — you’ll absorb more details now than usual.  Enjoy!

In case you missed him last week, here he is again.  This Knight of Pentacles is bringing encouraging news of a practical nature.  Today’s theme is “sticking to the basics”.  Pentacles is the tarot suit governing materiality, and the Knight represents a grounding influence.  Now is not the time to color beyond the lines, so to speak.  Sticking to procedure at work serves you best at this time.  In money matters, you will be enriched from unexpected sources … perhaps a lucky Lotto ticket or a raise … but, don’t quit your day job.  That said, today is not a good day for gambling or any other financial risk.  Spiritually, you might be feeling a bit overwhelmed from the insights bombarding you the other day.  Try breaking down those chunks into manageable nuggets because it isn’t necessary to decipher your entire life in one evening.  You are in the midst of change:  change for the better.
