Hearts

I was reminded today by a beautiful lesson on how tender our hearts become when we allow love to enter.

It is similar to the Fool tarot card since it is a true leap of faith to allow another in that sacred place.  We risk all by letting our guard down. Once hurt, maybe over and over again or even a single incident that was so deep we are scarred for life, it becomes more and more difficult to trust and allow another into that guarded palace of the soul.

We also are challenged by the needs of the body: shelter, food, security, the very basic necessities for living or chasing a "bigger carrot" that we forget that without love and someone to share life with its completely meaningless.

As a Libra I am striving for balance and the best possible out come. To walk in the sun and the sand without a hand to hold is indeed a lonely thing, no matter how lovely the view.

Ten of Pentacles

Ten of Pentacles


I didn't choose a traditional image for the ten of pentacles. I like the look and feel of this one as opposed to the Rider-Waite deck image.

I have pulled this card many times in the last month. As Nancy taught, the deck says when I ask over and over again "why don't you trust me" I have to agree. It is the almost too good to be true card. Financial success/windfall/lottery/inheritance. End of troubles. Happy family, secure children, loving couple that have it all. And a wise man thrown in to boot!

I like to think of the dragon over head as a guardian figure, "all who pass through this arch to the light are under my care and protection as I carefully watch over my charges".

I am sure the angels would slap me, oh ye of little faith, as I pray over my reading and keep getting this card.

My wheel has certainly moved forward this week in some very unexpected progress, so I will sit back and let the universe take charge.
