Tarot Card of the Day - The Queen of Pentacles

Got your eye on some special Christmas goodies? At this time of year, we get a thrill at the thought of what might lie under the tree to be opened on Christmas Day. Either that, or we're already getting our list together for the Boxing Day sales.

The Queen of Pentacles is all about the bling. She's focused on having and acquiring the good things in the material realm. There's nothing wrong with wanting to enjoy the riches that the earth has for us. In fact, it's part of our experience as humans in the physical realm to experience sensual pleasure. However, we must balance satisfaction of our desires with the needs of others and of our planet.

Take time to find simple ways to thrill your sensual self, whether that is in taking time with your loved ones, going for a walk in the woods, or enjoying a good meal. Take what you will to enjoy yourself, but be sure to give back too. The queen cards also represent the maternal, so remember to take care of the ultimate mother - Earth - and find ways to give back to her at the same time that you enjoy her treasures.

Tarot Card of the Day - The Hanged Man

The computer screws up and dumps the entire document you had almost finished creating but hadn't saved. Your car won't start. The job you wanted doesn't pan out. All around you, doors are closing, and there is no open window in sight.

It's at these times that we are the hanged man, feeling restricted - perhaps even cheated - by life. Nothing we turn our hand to comes to fruition.

If you're living in the realm of the hanged man at the moment, the counsel here is for patience. It's not that nothing is happening. It's just that it hasn't manifested in the external world yet. Take this time of inactivity in the outer world to go inward. Often, when the doors close around us, it's a prompting from the universe to do the work within.

Once the shift occurs there, the external world must and will change to reflect that. For now, however, patience and inner practice are demanded of you by your higher self that knows better than you the road that lies ahead.
