I hope everyone found their passion last week and worked with it in a positive way. Let's keep that energy moving, but modify it a bit and let yourself be the generous soul that this week's card, the
Queen of Pentacles, represents. Not only does this card ask you to be generous, but the
Queen of Pentacles kindly suggests that you care about the needs of
other people the same way you care about those in your immediate life.
The
Queen of Pentacles views everyone as her extended family. She offers comfort and is willing to work around the clock to make sure that everyone is safe. If you have not been affected by the latest economic downturn, take a few minutes and say "thank you" in whatever way feels right. Then think about what you can do to help those who have been affected by the bad economy. Do you know of someone who is out of work? If so, help them. Bring them some groceries. Fill up their car's gas tank. Take them to the movies. Help them network. But more than anything, be there for them. Listen. Care.
The
Queen of Pentacles brings with her a warm and thoughtful energy. As the days for many of us are becoming cooler and our thoughts turn to
hot apple cider and our favorite sweater, we should remember that not everyone is celebrating, even though this is the time of year for doing just that. These days, not only do people in less affluent countries than the United States need aid, but far too many of our fellow citizens are
hurting and crying out for food and shelter and jobs. Act like the
Queen of Pentacles and show your generosity to those in need.
If you have been experiencing rough times lately, the
Queen of Pentacles is a good omen. Even if things don't get better overnight, trust in the energy that this card brings. Know that better times are working their way towards you and that you'll be able to send the bad on its way in the not-so-distant future. The
Queen of Pentacles is also a good indicator of some kind of monetary gift showing up in your life - be it a job or someone letting you know that, no matter what, you will have a roof over your head and food to eat.
Another gift that the
Queen of Pentacles brings is intelligence. These days, when so many people in positions of power, be they in
government or in the
media, spew hate and lies, sounding like characters out of a bad sci-fi flick, we would be wise to
take a deep breath and realize that the only way to successfully move past all that is still lacking in this world, is to find a generous spirit and use our minds and hearts to create a better Life, for ourselves and each other.
This week, give a little extra of yourself and see what gifts you receive in return.
Namaste!
Ah the scales of Libra ... [and the Latin libra means pounds] wish my scales did not show such a high number!
We are still in the time of Libra, so balance is highlighted. However, Librans are also known to be very vocal and quite energized, so maybe we need some Libran voices quelling the regressive shouting that has been occurring - shattering these squeals like a singer breaks glass.
Then, when Gaia moves into the time of Scorpio, in another week or so, we scorpions/phoenixes/eagles/snakes can sweep up the mess left over from the shattered lies that Librans broke through and scattered, letting truth shine.
This queen sounds alot like our Reader, Ellen!!
Anyway, pentacles and this queen in particular speaks to me, as I have gotten some recent news that will help bring me greater abundance, prosperity and well-some peace of mind too. No-I take that back. I actually have been surrenduring quite some time ago this sense of angst over when "my $$ ship was going to come in". I had to, it was the best way I knew how to gain greater peace of mind. Granted, it hasn't been easy, but one thing I have realized in these past 2 years of EXTREME POVERTY was that ALL OF MY NEEDS HAVE BEEN MET! Always!! Really-they were, and I also realized just how much I could live without and find contentment. So, in this current transition of mine where I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, yes-I can maybe breathe a little easier, so to speak. But this queen reminds me of all of the people that have helped me during these past 2 years. And, I not only extremely grateful for that assistance, but how can I help others "appropriately", or in ways that are responsible to myself and to others? The root word in that big "R" word that is important for me to remember is RESPOND. When we are fully present, we can respond to our needs and that of others in ways that are appropriate to the situation.
Thank you,

I'm so excited to know that you're moving into a more abundant Life. This is wonderful. You deserve it. I'm very glad that this reading resonated with you. Enjoy this wonderful new energy in your Life.
Sorry to hear that you had a tough week. Almost everyone is finding times are much more tough than anticipated. But I know that you're going to get past all that surrounds you, which is worrisome. While it can sometimes be hard, just trust your way through everything that's happening.
First off, being a Libra myself, balance is something I have strived for, but has also alluded me, more often than not. That being said, I wanted to add to my prior comments that I forgot to mention previously.
First of all, I had done a 5 card spread not too long ago, which actually turned into a 7 card spread. It was sooo right on, but at the time I had no idea how accurate it was. I had pulled 3 pentacles cards, the first being the 2 of pentacles, representing my past. The card that I pulled for the present was 10 of wands but for some reason or the other (here is where my notes taken for this reading are somewhat unclear)I felt I needed more clarification/information and thus pulled the chariot and then the Ace of pentacles (WINDFALL!) which then, for my hidden influences card, I pulled THE QUEEN OF PENTACLES! Of course, becoming the "Practical Manager" that embodies those qualities that this Queen represents seemed elusive at the time, of course the information on how this 'windfall' was to come to fruition was not known to me at the time of this reading...yes, HIDDEN. My end card or "likely outcome" card was THE WORLD. Very accurate reading, I would say!!

Its so wonderful to collaborate with others on how the Universe speaks to us!!
And yes, it is wonderful to collaborate with others who understand the sometimes obtuse, yet esoteric Universe Speak.
Soon we will be in the energies of Scorpio-and isn't that what you are, Ellen?
