You continue on your new path and your focus is naturally turned inward as you explore what defines you spiritually.  This is a great moment to identify the areas in your life where you can help yourself and where you accept that you need help from others.  Self-reflection leading to self-discovery is the fruit of solitude, so don’t shy away from these moments.  Remember that problems happen, so use skill and wisdom to solve them.  That means that “doing the right thing” necessarily includes doing what is righteous for you.  This approach benefits you at work, so keep organized and productive in this Now because as the Wheel continues to turn, you assure success and  recognition tomorrow. For now, be conservative with your financial transactions and refrain from gambling. You might bump into an old flame and this encounter might generate an interesting spark today … but take care not to communicate mixed signals.  What are you really looking for in a relationship at this time?  If you’re already in a relationship, perhaps it’s time to stay connected by making the time and taking the effort to realign mutual interests to keep your spark alive and well.  Someone will cross your path that will encourage your desire to explore more deeply into spiritual matters and cause you to withdraw a little to enjoy a bit of solitude.  Becoming comfortable being alone with yourself is a skill and blocking out the noise of life by giving yourself space to BE nurtures your self-awareness.  Enjoy these moments.

So, with the changes heralded yesterday, we find ourselves set upon a new direction on our spiritual path today. Pursue your desire to dig deeper into your spiritual side.  Family and friends might not understand the attraction you’re feeling spiritually.  Their “consent” is not necessary or required for your happiness because this is all about self-awareness and self-reliance.  You defining You.  As The Fool, you are that curious, innocent child willing to explore life’s next new adventure!  It’s a day of new beginnings and a fresh start.  Yesterday was the turning of the Wheel of Fortune, and now you’re writing the next chapter of your story.  Those new opportunities you forged yesterday have opened up new paths – opportunities – for you to pursue … at work, in money matters, with your health, love life and spirituality.  Your positive attitude paved this way, so embrace the challenge of coming out on top.  Trust your instincts.  While you are living as present in the moment, however, take care not to take silly chances because today you also might be accident-prone.  So, don’t get too carried away as you happily skip along through today.

Woo Hoo!  We’re riding high on the wave now!  Change and Opportunity are on the horizon and it’s for the better.  Whatever problems or heartaches have been affecting you to date, today is when the tide changes and you can embrace Gandolf’s words joyfully … that “this too shall pass.”  Notice how the Sphinx is sitting at the top of this Wheel?  That’s you, sitting on top of your world.  Embrace the moment, this Now, and count your blessings.  Of course, the Wheel turns … so when things begin to change, relax and roll into them.  Step back and look at the Big Picture so you have a clear view of your next steps.  New opportunities for employment are on your horizon.  Even if you enjoyed where you work, your heart is no longer there so don’t feel guilty or “bad” that you feel the need for a change.  Reach out to your network of connections and be bold about expressing what you want in your next position … and don’t be too surprised if your wishes manifest excellent results!  Work with your partner and communicate what needs to happen for the both of you in this next phase … adaptability and communication are a great combination that preserves a truly loving relationship.  Your financial outlook is beginning to look better … on the other hand, if you’ve already been riding high in money matters, this change could also mean the beginning of a decline.  Don’t fret … this is how the Universe keeps the balance, so be smart and adjust your spending and budget accordingly now.  This advice also applies to your health.  Be proactive.  Be self-aware and self-responsible and everything will be all right.

Today is a day where Bruce Lee’s advice kicks in:  “Don’t think:  Feel.”  When the High Priestess shows up, it’s time to pay attention to your Intuition and your voice of inner guidance.  It’s a great day ahead.  You’re feeling inspired about life and feeling good about yourself … and this positive outlook makes you physically attractive to others.  For the men out there, you may come across an attractive, but somewhat distant, woman whom you sense has her game on, and she appeals to you … but she also might be entirely unreachable to you.  If that’s so for you today, just kick back and enjoy the view, then act on what she inspires within you.  For the women, you might encounter a better day simply because people around you feel more receptive to you in how you appear and what you have to say to them.  It’s a great edge you can use to your advantage, but take care and act wisely because you’re wielding potent energies today.  In money matters, someone might not be acting entirely honest with you, so don’t be afraid to investigate this gut feeling further.  Use your guile and play it close to the vest by only disclosing information on a need-to-know basis.  With regard to your health … you know those doctors and metaphysicians you’ve been consulting?  Perhaps you may need a second opinion, so trust your gut and look after yourself.  Have you been dreaming lately?  Today is a great day to venture forth and investigate your dreams by broadening your horizons in conversation with others to gain more valuable insight about yourself.

When most people see this card, they automatically think “love relationship”. This can be true, but only in part. Esoterically, this card is about your inner balance between the masculine and feminine, yin and yang, and overcoming the desires of the material to free yourself to ascend spiritually.  The focus is on what dictates “you” … mind or heart?  Your happiness with your love partnership is noticeable by others, and your bliss makes you feel like celebrating … just don’t lose sight of material concerns, you know:  the things you’re tending to procrastinate on tackling and completing that really deserve your attention now (remember the Two of Swords yesterday?).  Continue to seek support and guidance in health matters; you might find the right doctor or other healthcare professional to assist you best today.  Bottom line:  listen to your gut (because the body houses your parent-Spirit) and follow your heart (because it discerns more clearly than your head).

Good work with the King of Swords yesterday, as things are back on a more even keel today. We can’t always be right, and recognizing that a healthy compromise is the way to peace is a great vibe to begin this week.  Things feel lighter and brighter on the home front.  Reinforce that vibe by looking to your finances this week.  Are you procrastinating on getting your taxes filed?  Perhaps it’s time to hunker down and start dealing with money matters today.  You’ve got the time, so if you haven’t squared things away yet, get a move-on now.

Consider the feelings of others before you act, or react. Don’t overextend your reach; rather, consider how you are behaving towards others. Are you being too forceful, or too sensitive, especially to criticism?  If on the job, remember that “other” is simply doing their job.  If you’re pursuing a job, then know that you might appear to be an ideal candidate at first glance, but the person doing the hiring is looking for substance and commitment from you. If your partner is the forceful or opinionated type, then you ought to decide whether to accept and work it out with this person by applying the concepts of yin to yang. However, if your partner’s behavior is abusive, don’t put up with mistreatment:  move away and move on.  In money matters, the King advises you to get serious with your financial situation.  Procrastination solves nothing.  And, if an opportunity crosses your path to act generously, do so and view it as paying it forward.  As for your health, if you suspect something amiss (and don’t be a hypochondriac), do a bit of research on the symptoms before rushing to your doctor. Speaking of research, more self-discovery about spiritual matters yields insight for you today, so consider a visit to a Reiki Master or other metaphysical resource.  Self-awareness means self-responsibility and you owe it to your Self to be smart about your body, mind and spirit.

Good news and a great day!  Walking the path of moderation is paying off.  Today brings a sign or event that you are about to be the giver or beneficiary of something of value.  Although Pentacles is mostly about financial matters, today’s beneficence isn’t only about money and the material.  It’s about sharing, in gratitude, with others, in Spirit and with Feeling … Gratitude.  Your hard work of yesterday is now paying off in better days on the job, and your diligence is garnering notice and support by influential coworkers. Smile, because you earned it. Feel the inspiration to seek out better paying opportunities now … the timing feels right to go for that raise or promotion.  Being fair and supportive of your partner is also paying off to pave the way for a great Easter weekend.  Giving and taking with ease has never felt better between you two.  If you’re searching for that special someone, today brings an opportunity to meet a potential partner who is kind, upbeat and generous of Spirit … so be forthright and reach out to receive this person into your life.  This is riding the crest of the Wave, which also includes meeting a healer or discovering a modality that improves your health.  If you need the help, reach out to these opportunities and ask for it.  Shine your Light and share your understanding about the Way It Is with others … it may not be the whole Truth, but realize today that you have been nurturing your Spirit and asking the right questions.  There are meaningful conversations with others to be enjoyed today.

Today will be a busy day to round out your work week, but dedication to the task(s) at hand is sure to pay off tomorrow.  A new job will be a test of how well you focus on honing new skills.  If you are already gainfully employed, you will be blessed with more responsibilities today, so don’t be afraid to ask for assistance if you are feeling overburdened.  It’s better to ask for help, than to maintain a false impression of handling “it”.  No shame in being realistic.  If your days are appearing easier than your partner’s, be supportive and don’t throw a snit-fit because you feel neglected.  Partnership is about mutual support come what may, and besides, the weekend is here and there will be opportunities for both of you to relax and enjoy one another again.  If you are busy at work and looking for love, give yourself a break.  How can you look for love when your mind is on other things?  In money matters, you might receive a welcome financial boon, but caution:  don’t be so quick to squander your windfall. You earned this cushion; this wasn’t just blind luck.  And lastly, if you are finding that work feels like it has taken over your life, allow yourself a moment to step back to look at the big picture.  Ask yourself honestly … what are you seeking to achieve in allowing this trend to run point on your perspective? Make it a point to seek out books and/or conversation to help you clarify this aspect of your spiritual self.

If you must believe in anything, it’s gotta be Numero Uno:  YOU. After all, self-confidence is the key to success at work, in relationships and in broadening your spiritual self-awareness. You might find that others are competing with you, but isn’t that a daily norm to one degree or another on the daily?  It’s just that today, you’re more aware of this aspect.  So, hold your head up high and place your faith and trust in knowing that all is unfolding for your highest good.  That is, if you’re thinking of switching jobs, tune-up that resume, be positive and TRY.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained.  And, if you notice others cutting corners to cut in front of you, just know that type of behavior yields short-term gains and with your persistence, you will pass them by.  This also applies to that special someone that has caught your eye.  Again, don’t mind the competition, be competitive by being your natural best.  If you are a match, s/he will notice the real you apart from all others. Bottom line:  don’t give up … persist.  Sometimes, the best way to deal with obstacles is to go around them, rather than plowing through them.  And, always give your Self a break by giving yourself a rest to catch your breath.  Life is about walking and enjoying the Journey, not sprinting (and burning out!) to the end.

Today is a day to reflect on your one-on-one partnerships and how well you are “keeping the peace” with another through peaceful compromise.  Are you treating the other person on fairly equal terms?  Are you being treated equally well?  The simple remedy for a partnership out of balance is open communication.  If you are in a situation where you are waiting on others, be patient and refrain from being pushy to force others to act when they might not yet be ready to act with regard to you.  If you’ve been keeping pace at work, for example, then no sweat; things will eventually work out in your favor.  However, if not, then figure out how to make it right today to avoid being called to account for any shortcomings tomorrow.  Just don’t panic; things work out when you remain present and self-responsible.  This is also the key to your romantic partnerships:  today is a great day to enjoy an air of openness and connection with your Number One person in your life.  If you’re looking for love, again, be self-aware and self-assess whether you have emotional quirks that need to be ironed out.  Why are you feeling desperately lonely, or needy?  Remember that a prospective partner wants someone who compliments, not detracts from, life as s/he lives it.  The preferred partner is able to stand alone without being co-dependent on the other.
