“Life in abundance comes only through great love.” Elbert Hubbard

When we first moved to the place we have now, it was a very painful period. I had a significant sense of failure and loss—and plenty of responsibility in it. It was a sad time, and I felt very much like I’d screwed things up. But of course, we did what you do, and kept on going. There was a whole lot of purging, and in that, a lot of release.

With the move, demands and strains went down only modestly. But the funny thing, the impact was not modest. A huge load was lifted with only a limited amount of change in outer circumstance. That feeling of release and the shift it brought reminds me of the reversed Five of Pentacles.

Today’s Tarot is the reversed Five of Pentacles (Mercury in Taurus). Perhaps thoughts (Mercury) are centered on resources (Taurus). This card denotes a sense of lack, wanting. Thinking (Mercury) may be stuck (Taurus).  Options might be discarded without full investigation.

Inverted, look to the situation easing, help surfacing, or an increased sense of well being. But the trick is always the same with the Five of Pentacles, inverted or upright—the stability or lack thereof (Taurus) is seated within the mind (Mercury)!

Are you looking at things too literally? Have you discounted the possibility of improvement or refused to request needed help? If you see a window out now, don’t walk on by. Take it! But in the meantime, assess what you most value (Taurus) and focus your thoughts (Mercury) in that direction.

Are you feeling the reversed Five of Pentacles?

  1. Hell yes I’m feeling it! Perspective is important and very enlightening but sometimes it’s hard to know just how to get unstuck – no matter how much time, energy or money you spend on attempting to find a solution.

    1. “assess what you most value (Taurus) and focus your thoughts (Mercury) in that direction.”

      WISE advice, now I just have to figure out exactly what that is; people, things, emotions-PEACE & figure out how to stay focused on those things.

      :yes:

  2. “But in the meantime, assess what you most value (Taurus) and focus your thoughts (Mercury) in that direction.” This echos the message I got from another source today. Guess what I’ll be doing today?
