Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: The Witches’ Wisdom Tarot by Phyllis Curott, artwork by Danielle Barlow, published by Hay House.

Card: Five (5) of Earth (Pentacles) – One Thing Becomes Another

The incoming week has the potential to hold a bit of a snapback when it comes to financial excesses, overindulgence, and the squandering of resources from the preceding week. Taking more than is needed, exploiting natural resources beyond sustainability, and even abusing support from the community and family, is likely to have harsh consequences.

Conversely, being mindful and deliberately judicious in not only what is being consumed but also in eliminating or reducing the waste of generated is heavily indicated. Underlying that sentiment is the expression of gratitude and finding ways to both give back and share any excess bounty. Even small and seemingly insignificant acts of kindness have the potential to make much larger impacts than imagined.
