For this
new Moon I’ve only drawn one card for the theme of this lunation and it happens
to be one of the same cards as in yesterday’s spread: the Four of Pentacles
from the Original Rider Waite Tarot.
Since it is a Theme for the month card I thought it would be wise to view
this card from various angles, using my Daily draw exercise:
Some keywords are:
What is the gift ?
What is the
challenge?
What are you
grateful for? I am grateful for having
enough resources to live without concerns for lack or scarcity.
Journaling prompt
I remember a time
when I got my first piggy bank and how I cried when
I wasn’t allowed to get my money back. I was a “big spender” when I was a kid.
Affirmation: “I use the abundance in my
life wisely and compassionately” James Ricklef.
Quote: We make ourselves rich by making our wants few.”

Naming the Goddess:
She who bestows her blessings freely and
without restraint.
What stands out
the most and why? He only has
four pentacles to guard. I think the more we have, the more energy it takes to
take care of our possessions. This card today fits well in my longing for a
more simple and decluttered lifestyle. Just this morning M and I have brought a
carload of stuff and rubbish to the
dump. It felt so freeing to let go of it all and make our home more spacious. This
card is also a warning not to replace this pile of junk with other stuff. Ah
all those temptations… I know they won’t make me more happy in the long run.
Also I want to be more aware of my own fluctuating energy levels and not to feel so guilty if I keep some of my energy for myself when I need it. Saying "No" is still very difficult for me....(see journaling prompt)
All thing
considered I think the Four of Pentacles will prove to be a great theme for the
coming weeks.
