When I’m stressed out or overloaded, I have a surefire technique for making things better—I ask for whatever it is I need, releasing my concerns into the universal energy stream. And then, I take a nap!
This helps, pretty much every single time. It sounds so simple, and yet, it’s so powerful.
Today’s Tarot forecast brings us the King of Pentacles or “Prince of the Chariot of Earth”—I associate him with Fire (creative force) in Earth (the physical). He’s a very fatherly sort, protective of his kingdom and well-attuned to their physical needs. He supports their emotional well-being primarily through making sure his people have enough food, shelter, clothing and comfort. He is very much a provider!
When the King of Pentacles comes a’calling, my question is usally, “Who is taking care of you?” He’s the one to remind you to drive safely, make sure you’ve taken your vitamins, take you out after a rough week, or just call you up to see how you’re doing. He may also provide business advice or mentoring. The King of Pentacles is a sharp businessman—he knows how to get things done!
Alternatively, he could suggest you do these things for yourself—you can call upon your “inner King of Pentacles” to ground yourself and become stronger. Meditating, nature walks, exercise, healthy eating and making time for recreation would all fall under his domain. He serves the feast! To be at your best, allow the King’s energy to permeate your life. He’ll give you the same shift in perspective you’d notice after a good night’s sleep. Feed your physical needs to shore yourself up, and your other needs (intellectual, creative, and emotional) are easier met.
Do you have enough of the “King of Pentacles” energy in your life?

Schedule a consultation with Dixie.
When I woke up this morning, I just sat there for a while, thinking of all the stuff I had to do.
Then I asked God “What do I really need to do first? What do I need to focus on most?” And I got back “Meditate, and go for a walk.”
Then I read Daily Tarot and said Oh my goodness!
Ha ha! That’s lovely, sofie. Hope you’re walk was nice.
I laughed about this–I wrote this yesterday and started having server problems shortly thereafter. I get up this morning having a meltdown with tech support over the 5,700 emails backed up on the server and then checked again here just to get reminded of what I just wrote.
I hate it when I realize I’m ignoring my own advice. So I just shot it out there, what I needed and the problems are starting to get sorted now. More Zen, Dixie!
Hi Sofie. Hope you got some good answers this morning.
So would this be representative of your own personal inner strength?
I’m seeing him as enhancing inner strength via taking care of oneself, especially physical or practical issues. Like when you cannot control everything in your life, you can control simple things like taking Vitamins or going for a walk or taking a hot bath, you know? If you do the things you can and let the things you can’t go, you get relief and your thinking is clearer for handling whatever comes up.
Thanks for the clarification. You would think I would have this by now, considering what Pluto has done to my life the past 3 years. I love your motivational pep talks. They are timely, as always!!! :)))
Dixie,
This could also be a very life saving card. I went outside to work in the yard (Earth) & it’s 98 degrees (Fire). I took a big cup of water & one of my dogs was hanging outside with me & started drinking it. I thought “how cute” so I just let her have it; however, I didn’t get myself a new glass & continued to work away. About 30 minutes later my mind started wandering while trimming shrubs & I started thinking of you & your daily tarot & “feeding your needs”. YIKES! I immediately dropped my trimmers & ran inside & drank a huge glass of water & cooled off before I went back outsite.
Working in 98 degrees heat without water was foolish & I probably would’ve continued until I got light headed! I really did take your reading to heart today & it probably saved me from having heat stroke!
You love me!! Thanks & love back

“Good! You shouldn’t be running around outside without any water,” says Dixie in her mom voice.
Yes Ma’am!
