The Four of Pentacles and Bringing Balance Into Your Life Through Faith

Another relaxing day even though we were out and about for someone's haircut, a walk around Steveston, an afternoon coffee and pastry and our weekly grocery run.

Spirit Is and today's Pagan Tarot Energy is the "Four of Pentacles: Our Witch is shopping - a very pentacles-oriented task.  She's using the money she earned to buy food.  She doesn't look very happy and she has an awful lot in her cart.  It seems as though something else rather than realistic need is driving her behaviour.  Fours represent stability.  But stability can become extreme.  In her case, fear of running out of food is causing her to buy too much.  If he goes much further, she could start hoarding and become selfish and greedy.  Everything needs balance.  Buy enough food but have faith that you can get more... you don't have to hold on so tightly."
Think about balance and better yet having faith is the message of the day.  Faith holds everything together and brings much needed balance into our lives.  Especially faith based on experience, something I'm reminded of today after weeks of stress and anxiety and patience wearing thin, today my faith is renewed because I've experienced the love and support of the universe many times over the years and this moment in the here and now is and will be no different than those experiences of the past.

Thank You Spirit.

The Youth of Coins and Moving Ahead in Life Through Healthy Living

Monday, September 8, 2014.  I had a bit of a sleepless night last night awaking every hour on the hour so it seemed.  I was feeling a bit congested when I went to bed and found it difficult to sleep as my sinuses were always draining and interfering with my breathing and sleep.  I did sleep but not very soundly.

Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Youth of Coins: Focusing on the physical.  Beginning a regimen.  Matters relating to nutrition and exercise.”

I’m going to limit or eliminate altogether, alcohol from my diet.  I enjoyed a bit of wine over the weekend and my body was telling me to cut out the alcohol.  I’m going to also try and cut down on my caffeine intake as well.  Yesterday, we visited Steveston and enjoyed walking through the Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market after which we stopped for a coffee and a snack.  The coffee was terrible but the vegan and gluten free snack I had was great.

And going to the gym and otherwise keeping active is also going to be my focus and part of this is to focus on getting my new career, business, and website up and running as quickly as possible.  No conventional career for me this late in the game.  I’ve to go for it and see what happens.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Sage of Coins, Man of Cups, and 2 of Swords

Sunday, April 13, 2014.  Yesterday turned out to be quite the fine day.  We relaxed through the morning and then head out and enjoyed the sights, sounds and atmosphere of Steveston.  We walked about the quaint village before enjoying a coffee and snack at a local coffee bar, Rocanini Coffee Roasters Cafe.  We then headed home via a quick stop or two to run an errand and complete our weekly grocery run.  The evening was relaxing…

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Sage of Coins: Working with resources rather than trying to control them. A mature appreciation of the natural world.  Patience.”

Using resources rather than trying to control them and this is what I’ve just learned how to do.  Use what I have the best way possible and life is runs a little smoother and naturally.  I use the talents I have as well as the inspiration of others to achieve success and do the best job possible.  This even applies to my desire to RV—use the RV I already have.  Invest the time and money necessary to get her back into shape and she’ll one finely tuned RV that will have me criss-crossing this fine continent for many years.

The “Sage of Coins” is influenced by the “Man of Cups: An emotional adventurer.  Tendency to want to emotionally rescue others.  Drawn to emotional crises.”

I need to guard myself from trying to get to emotionally involved in other people’s live and/or their relationships and need to instead focus on my own and how I’m influencing the relationship I’m in.  Also, emotions have no place in managing resources and trying to achieve and enjoy the successes that life has to offer.  Emotions can colour our view of the world and distort reality in ways that can be more harmful than good so we must check our emotions “at the door” on occasion so we are things in black in white where we can evaluate them more objectively.

Today things that may arise are influenced by the “2 of Swords: Meditation.  Closing your eyes to outer circumstances in order to gain perspective or to avoid a decision.  Refusing to act.”

Meditation is good and does serve a purpose however we must also decisions as hard as they may sometimes be.  Action is required in life if we expect to live a purposeful and fruitful life.  Living life requires action especially if we have desires, dreams, and goals that we want to have and/or experience.  Life cannot be lived in a reactionary way.  We need to be active and actively participate in life if we want to get something out of it, if you will.  Life’s purpose is much easier to realize, understand and achieve when we are active participants in living our lives and merely reacting to it.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
