I’ve taken care of some things lately I really didn’t want to. But I really needed to.
And how often is it like that? Sometimes that to-do list is scary. But you do what you need to do, and it makes things easier. Not necessarily easy mind you, but definitely easier.
Maybe your life isn’t perfect right now, either. I can’t be the only one. (This is a Virgo joke.)
But recognizing the gains matters. Crediting yourself for your role in them matters.
And not taking them for granted? That’s the direct advice this week. At least, that’s what I’m hearing.
In the Cards
This week features the richly colored Star Tarot Deck.
Outlook: Princess (aka Page) of Pentacles
For an outlook, the Page of Pentacles suggests details emerging. Pentacles are physical manifestation, so this can show up as signs, messages, synchronicities, inspiration, offers, commitments or other related specifics beginning to materialize.
The Page of Pentacles is proof of concept: the first real signs things are taking shape. It’s more rough draft than final document here, so take it for what it is—validation, not completion.
Advice: Star Reversed
Upright, the Star is hope, clarity and renewal—a sense of promise after a rough patch. It’s real hope, but still potential, not a guaranteed outcome.
Reversed, especially in the advice position, the Star reads as cautious optimism, but with teeth. Think hands-on optimism.
The hope is real, the growth is available, but it’s less likely to bloom if you mentally check out. Don’t confuse encouragement with arrival. You can feel good about the direction things are going, damn proud of yourself for your role, but you still need to keep your hands on the wheel. Stay present, and don’t let either doubt or fantasy do the driving for you.
Page plus Star reversed says: trust the signs, but don’t hit autopilot. Early-stage validation is indeed materializing, but the story isn’t done. You’re co-writing it with your choices and follow-through.
Now for You
Where are you seeing those early signs—the outlines, the evidence? And how might you stay hopeful without being complacent?
