Today’s meditation was skipped.

Today’s draw is the Ace of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of the seed of new beginnings in the area of one’s finances, resources, health, home, manifestations, and the physical world. This often translates into themes that have to do with new opportunities in finance or work, renewed health, or new projects in which one is working with their hands.

In this imagery we see the promise of new ventures as a merchant ship draws into port in foreign lands while a merchant and their child stand on shore awaiting the ship’s arrival.

The imagery in this card asks us, are we ready for new opportunities to present themselves?  Are you out there on the docks waiting for them to come in, embodying the early bird ready to catch the worm?  If not… why not?

Lionharts’ #TheJanuaryTarot 2023 Year of Evolution Challenge Prompt
Question for January 16th and 17th

Make a bucket list of things you want to do, see or achieve this year.

Do – Peacock – Find a solid footing for my self-confidence in areas where I am plagued by uncertainty.

See – Rabbit – See abundance flourishing in my life, as well as the lives of those around me.

Achieve – Koi – A more secure and stable financial seat.

What am I asked to mindfully embrace {rather than suppress}?

There’s a lot of good to be seen and celebrated in your life (Ten of Cups) if you are willing to be mindful in your inner and outer narratives (King of Swords) and supportive of your creative spark and dreams for the future (Queen of Cups).

Don’t allow negative inner narratives and nay-saying to rain on your parade.  Use positive reinforcement to help your dreams and imagination to flourish instead.

#DiscordTarotholicsJan2023 Challenge Prompt
Question for January 16th and 17th

Appreciate a Dragon Day – How can you change your perspective to better appreciate anger?

Knight of Wands and Six of Swords – Anger has the ability to drive you forward when you are not otherwise prepared to take a necessary leap in life. Sometimes hanging back isn’t an option, and neither is hesitation. The fire of anger can spark forward motion when otherwise we’d try to delay and procrastinate changes that we need to make in our lives to improve things for the better.

Kid Inventors Day – How can you inspire your inner child to come out and play?

Two of Wands and Queen of Pentacles – Plan in time to allow yourself to explore creating and manifesting new things from all the ideas running around in your head. If you give yourself time set aside for these activities, it will allow your inner child to come out and play more as you create and explore with space and freedom to do so without worrying that you’re taking time away from something “more important”.
