Today’s meditation was skipped.

Today’s draw is the Knight of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of a projective beta energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s finances, resources, labors, health, manifestations, and the physical world.

This image really speaks to me as it appears that the knight rides one of those stationary horses that you find in a playground.  (You know, the animals on a spring?) And yet, with four hands, he is clearly still getting things done.

The message I see here in today’s card is that although your horse maybe stationary, that doesn’t mean you have to be.

The #ConnectWithYourDeckChallenge Prompt by E Roebuck-Jones
Questions for July 7th thru 9th

What advice can I give to myself concerning my creativity?

Queen of Cups and The Devil – The same figure is in both the Queen of Cups and The Devil, which connects these cards in an intimate way with each other. These card’s advice is that it’s always good to invest your emotions into your creative endeavors. Just don’t do it to the point that you’re self-medicating and avoiding other things, because when you sink too deeply into these in creative endeavors you can end up neglecting yourself in a very important ways.

What do I love to do and why?

Five of Wands and Page of Wands – I love to express my own ideas and principles to others. This in turn then allows me to expand my horizons and my viewpoint so that I am always learning and exploring and growing.

What moment will be worth remembering from today?

Three of Cups and The Tower Rx – How good times with friends can make the bad stuff feel lighter.

#DiscordTarotholicsJul2022 Challenge Prompt
Body Painting Day – What can you add to embellish your day? (Make it brighter, more colorful, more fun.)

Reading Summary: Remember that you need to balance out (Two of Pentacles) your disappointment and struggles with depression (Three of Swords) with a more optimistic viewpoint. It is only through leaning into that optimism that you can really find balance and escape the scarcity issues that plague you so often (Five of Pentacles).

Take Away: you struggle a lot with the optimism and positivity.  If you want to “embellish” my day, though, these cards indicate that that’s the way to do it.  Lean into the positivity and let it lift you up and make the day brighter as a result.
