For today I've
drawn the Three of Coins (Pentacles) from the Joie de Vivre Tarot .Usually I
think of creativity when I pull this card but this depiction is focusing more
on working together for the greater good: “The whole is more than the sum of
the parts.”
Let’s see
what the LWB has to say about this card: The keywords are: Progress, success,
perseverance, teamwork, planning.
“Harmony
shines as Soma, Pneuma, and Psyche combine their concentrated creative
energies. Focused and committed, their
cooperation delivers healthy progress and quality workmanship. The shimmering
golden coins are the fruits of their work.“ (LWB
I like the
names Paulina has chosen for these three figures: Body, Spirit and Soul. It is
without a doubt that when these three parts of us are fully balanced there is
nothing we can’t accomplish. Each part of us contributes something unique to
the whole and even with just one moon phase missing there can’t be a complete moon
cycle. Don’t you just love it how all three of them are so in awe of their moons
joined together? Of course this card also speaks about working together as a team and about appreciating the qualities of
others and what they add to the mix. How much I love to be on my own, I do acknowledge
I need people and I am glad to be needed too. Yesterday M and I have had a lot
of fun hunting for jeans for both of us. We were discussing each other's
choices in the fitting room and were happy with the saleswomen’s input. Now we are
both pleased with our new jeans and we have had a lovely afternoon together.
The moon phases really add to the "sum total" meaning of this card; I'm not sure I would have caught that had you not pointed it out. Glad you two had a nice afternoon together! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks It was a wonderful experience and a great distraction for M.:)
DeleteWhat a nice story, and I love how you discussed this card. I have the Paulina Tarot deck but don't use it because the images are far too busy. I think I'd prefer the Joie de Vivre since the pictures are still beautiful, but seem to have less going on within them!! I'm happy you've found some nice new jeans!
ReplyDeleteThank you Olivia! we are both wearing them now :)
DeleteThat is exactly the reason why I've chosen the Joie de Vivre tarot. It has just the right amount of detail in the pictures but you will not get overwhelmed
Lovely post, Ellen! I just drew the 3 of Pentacles (from another deck) for a reading that I'm planning to post on my blog soon. I will most certainly take your interpretation of this card into account for my reading.
ReplyDeleteThanks Zanna. I will be looking forward to read it :)
