Seven of Pentacles – take a break

Crystal Visions Tarot
This morning I have drawn the seven of Pentacles from the Crystal Visions Tarot. The woman in the picture is sitting between the roots of the tree. It looks almost as if she is merging with it, like the dryads in the branches. Her eyes are closed. Is she looking at her bowl with picked fruits, or is she dozing off? Either way she is totally relaxed and trusting the Pentacles to grow and ripen by themselves. There is nothing urgent to do, no activities on the calendar. How wonderful that must be. Just taking a well deserved break of everything and watching the world go by.
It is not that difficult. Perhaps we have to let go of our notion we are indispensable. Let’s be honest. Who doesn't think; I know best, I will take care of them, I will solve that problem etc. We like to think we are needed but sometimes we also want break free from the everyday hustle and sit back, relax and take stock of our lives and ask ourselves: How can we be more at ease, less stressed out and overworked and most important how can we become less important in our own perception? Just try to let the grass grow by itself and trust everything will be okay in the end.

  2. What helped me get by the idea that if I wasn't there life would stop was realizing when heads of state and world corporations die...there isn't so much as a blip. Life goes right on without them because that is the only task life has. I quit my miserable hateful horrible job the next day. And it felt so good I wished I could go back and do it again. :) It was an important lesson and helped me let go of a lot of baggage I was dragging along behind me.

  3. I really like how you've described the energy of this card. There is something so liberating is simply letting things go, even on a daily, mundane level - just deciding that it's simply not worth it to worry/stress/assume too much responsibility - whatever it is. Find the joy in that moment, knowing that some things will work themselves on their own if you give it time.

    1. Giving it time is for me probable the hardest thing since I am such a control freak :D

    1. I think you would love to work with it. I've never had any regrets. Perhaps you could watch the review from Daily tarot girl. It is a very good one

  6. "how can we become less important in our own perception?"

    I love this because it is something we all suffer from, our overwhelming sense of self importance. I think sometimes it can be very cathartic to really just take ourselves out of this mindset and realise that there is so much more to see and do that does not have to be all about 'me' and can be all about the outward experience whether that is relaxing or napping or just taking a moment.
