This mini tarot read was thrown with the Green Witch tarot deck. To start off we have the "Eight of Pentacles", here we have a craftsman hard at work, working his skills carefully. This card is telling me that the hard work and skills that you have been putting into your craft or career is paying off. This may mean you’re in a place where you have much stability for the future doing what you love. Or it may be that it is time to take that leap of faith and take your craft to “market” to sell. Either way this card to me says stability. That prosperity will come with the skills you have gained and with all the love and care you put into your work. A pigeon sits in the window, which is a symbol of security and luck. Through persistence and hard work your skill that you have learned, nurtured, and grown is giving you the prosperity and security that you need to produce physical and financial stability within your life.
Which that leads right into the next card our "Ace of Chalices". In this card the chalices are overflowing with water indicating that your cup is overflowing. Overflowing with love, prosperity, joy, and peace. You have done the work and your determination and talents have brought you to this point of fulfillment. There is a salmon that is swimming downstream, he is moving with the current which says to me that you have learned to stop fighting yourself. Since it is a water element that is flowing this indicates that you have finally begun to work on your emotions and fears instead of having them fight against you. To embrace how you feel and move through it instead of staying stuck or swimming the “wrong way”. You have learned you don't need to do things the hard way, just for the sake of it. You are embracing all the success that has come from your emotional achievements either with your job, your healing journey, or both.
Our third card the "Five of Pentacles", here is your warning. The young lady is sitting in the cold looking at her empty pocketbook. She is not even realizing there is a beautiful fire behind her that she could warm herself on, she is too focused on what she doesn’t have. This to me can mean that there may be some unexpected financial or emotional issues that come up, but do not focus on what you don’t have, but rather focus on what you do have. If you focus too much on the lack of something, you can put yourself in a lack mentality and miss the tools or abundance you need to help you through harder times. Also, the lizard on the tree tells me that you need to pay attention to your dreams and your intuition. To not be afraid to detach from your problems to figure out what needs to be done.
All your skills that you have worked on whether in the workplace or emotionally are now all finally coming together. You have lovingly crafted your security and abundance. You have lovingly learned to fill your own cup and to work smarter not harder. Now you just have to remember that when problems come up do not focus on what you don’t have always look for what you do. You need to beware of mentally putting yourself into a lack state of mind, that is where you can get stuck and start to lose the abundance and security that you have worked so hard to gain.
