Setting Up My Sacred Space
First thing this morning I rolled out my purple velvet tarot cloth on the kitchen table while brewing coffee. Grabbed my trusty Rider-Waite deck that smells faintly like incense – been using it since 2022. Checked the clock: 10am exactly when I started shuffling. Focused real hard on my question “Where will money luck show up for me this week?” since Taurus season always makes my Aries butt impatient.
Drawing the Cards
Did my usual three-card money spread: past/present/future energy. Shuffled until three cards literally jumped out – always trust the jumpers! Nearly spilled my coffee catching them. Here’s what showed face-up:
- The Wheel of Fortune
- Nine of Pentacles
- Ace of Pentacles reversed
My eyebrow went up seeing Ace reversed. Thought “uh-oh” remembering last month when that card predicted my freelancer payment delay. Snapped quick photos before the sunlight shifted – natural light gives clearest images for my records.
Decoding the Money Message
Started scribbling in my leather journal. Wheel of Fortune in past position? Told me recent financial headaches were temporary cycles. Nine of Pentacles – that lady with the falcon – screamed “luxury through independence.” Made sense since I’d just declined that toxic collaboration offer yesterday.
Spent twenty minutes staring at the reversed Ace. Deck guidebook said “delayed opportunities” but my gut whispered avoid traditional investments. Remembered crypto crashed after last reversed Ace in March! Texted my investor cousin: “Should I skip Bob’s startup pitch?” He replied “YES” with three warning emojis.
My Action Plan
Took all this and made actual moves before lunch:
- Deposited old jewelry in that neighborhood pawn shop (Nine of Pentacles vibes)
- Declined risky stock option my friend pushed
- Booked invoice reminders for all June clients
Boom – at 3pm got surprise PayPal from forgotten affiliate link! Exactly the unexpected income Wheel promised. Ain’t tarot magical when you actually apply it?
