Ten of Cups (Upright) | Tarot Card of the Day

"Embrace Gratitude, Discover Life's Magic, and Revel in Your Abundance."

Ten of Cups (Upright) | Tarot Card

The Ten of Cups represents gratitude for the magic that's weaving through your life, right at this very moment.

This card calls on you to pause, breathe, and truly acknowledge the beauty and the magic that permeates your existence. This magic could be in the form of love, joy, happiness, or even the simple pleasures of life that we often take for granted. The Ten of Cups reminds you to be present, to express gratitude for these blessings, and to fully experience the abundance that life offers.

You can't see this magic if you are on autopilot, mad, stressed, or anxious. You can only perceive it if you choose to stop feeding tension, step out of your routines, and open your eyes to the miracles at play. This is an invitation to slow down, to shed the shroud of anxiety and stress, and to switch off the autopilot mode. When you actively make this choice, you will be surprised at the number of miracles that unfold before your eyes every day. When you open yourself to this magic, great things begin to happen in your life. This is the promise of the Ten of Cups – a life filled with joy, fulfillment, and wonder. It encourages you to maintain an open heart and a receptive mind, for when you do so, you align yourself with the universe's magical flow.

This shimmering magic is darting about everywhere, but you may have to adjust your perspective to see it. So, let the Ten of Cups inspire you to adjust your lens, to shift your perception, and to truly see and appreciate the magic that is constantly unfolding in your life.

Do "problems" seem to suck all the oxygen out of your day?

Do you know you "have it good," but just can't seem to see it, feel it, or sense it? Is there stress, anger, or tension living in your heart?

The family on the card is like any other. They have problems to solve, work to do, kids to raise, and routines that govern their day. And yet, they are doing something that many of us don't do enough. They are soaking in the magic at play in their lives, in the present. The home that the family shares is in the distance, nestled in a thicket of trees on the hilltop. It is where they spend most of their time. In the house, love prevails... but there is also bickering, disagreements, and squabbles between the children that need to be broken up.

Being in the house, it is difficult for the family to actually see the house. So, the husband took his wife and kids out of their home, and up the road. The family stepped out of routines and held each other close. When the husband and wife looked back at their home, a magical thing happened. A colorful rainbow filled the sky, illuminating each of their blessings. They were alive. They had such a love for each other. This love made everything alright.

The couple raises their hands in gratitude for the abundance they have. The children are overcome as well, and dance merrily in the moment. The family now have a new perspective of the magic they don't always see. They were so close to this magic, that they were unable to see it.

When the Ten of Cups appears, it’s time to open your heart to those you love most.

Give them a hug and tell them how important they are. Acknowledge the love that is all around you and do something to increase it.

Choose to see in the magic weaving through your life. To see this magic, you might need to step out of the house, and away from your routines. If you do get a glimpse of it, it might just fill your heart, and make your eyes a little misty.

There is magic dancing through your life. It weaves into your spirit and connects you with everyone and everything around you. It's in the air, the water, the trees, the people you love, and in every particle of light.

Whisper a word of gratitude.... for today is completely magical!

Ten of Cups in a Love ReadingNew Relationship

The Ten of Cups promises an auspicious beginning. It is likely that both partners have endured some difficulties in their past relationships which makes the sweetness of the present moment so enthralling. This card can also signify compatible long-term priorities. As with all idyllic cards in the tarot, keep your expectations in check as you get to know this person more… but enjoy!

Long Term Partnership

The Ten of Cups represents a happy couple. This is not to say that you both haven’t endured your share of stormy skies. However, the core of this relationship is loving, compatible, and strong. This card often appears during a great relationship rite of passage such as marriage, buying a home, or starting a family. The best of times await.

Seeking Romance

If you are single, the Ten of Cups advises you to keep the faith that you will meet that special someone. You may have endured your share of storms, but the rainbow of hope is delivering a promising message to you. The Universe is bringing the right person at the right time, and not before. So, relax and enjoy this moment! A watched pot never boils.

Seven of Swords (Upright) | Tarot Card of the Day

“Unleash Your Mental Agility, Innovate, and Overcome with Smart Strategy..” 

Seven of Swords (Upright) | Tarot Card of the Day

The Seven of Swords represents using your wits to overcome current obstacles.

This card represents a strategic mind and an intelligent approach to overcoming adversities. It encourages you to use your mental prowess to identify unique solutions that may not seem obvious at first. It calls on your cunning, wit, and agility, suggesting that a different approach or an unconventional method might be what you need to bypass the blockages in your path.

It reminds you to not fight life’s difficulties, but to use your intelligence to bypass something that appears fixed or immovable. The Seven of Swords is a testament to the power of the mind, emphasizing the value of tact and strategy in navigating life's challenges. It beckons you to reassess the situation, consider different angles, and devise innovative solutions to the obstacles you face. The Seven of Swords reminds you that “It's not over until it’s over,” and that there is usually a way to succeed if you don’t give up. It calls upon your resilience and resourcefulness, reaffirming the belief that every problem has a solution. This card encourages you to remain persistent, resilient and to trust in your mental agility to devise smart solutions. You are more clever than your current challenges, but you must "think smarter, not work harder!"

YouTube video for the Seven of Swords (Upright) | Tarot Card of the Day by Elliot Oracle

Do you give up easily when life is sends a setback or do you find a way around it?

Have you ever used your wits to outsmart a obstructive situation that looked hopelessly immovable? Are you tired of “fighting” against one life-barrier after another?

Don’t get mad, get smart!

The man on the Seven of Swords is a brilliant tactician. In the background you see an army has invaded his homeland. They have set up camps and are conferring with one another about how to conquer the invaded territory. Instead of fighting the whole army by himself, the figure on the card uses his wits to outsmart them. While the troops are distracted, he creeps in and steals five of their seven weapons, greatly diminishing their strength. Instead of fighting or retreating he uses his mind to find a brilliant solution to the present impasse.

Not every challenge in life needs to be approached as “fight or flight.” Sometimes you need to use your mind to systematically review the challenge from different angles. Often you can find a way “around” the obstacle, with way less frustration and angst. Apply a different perspective to what appears hopeless. Ask experts for advice. Get more information. Really know more about the situation you are grappling with. Understanding the challenge in its entirety will give you power over it. Use the internet! Everything you need to know is at your fingertips. Are you arming yourself with enough knowledge, or are you just hoping everything will work out?

The Seven of Swords appears today to tell you that instead of ramming headlong into a current life challenge, be smarter than it.

Sometimes we avoid the solution because it means we have to commit to a decision and take a risk. Many things may change, and change is scary. The man on the card is taking a risk by invading the enemy camp, but he knows that being proactive is better than hoping and wishing the army might retreat.

Use your strategic mind and do some research. Don’t give up when life gives you a “No!” Say to yourself: “Hmmmm...., we’ll see about that!”

Knowledge will give you great power over each obstacle.

Seven of Swords in a Love ReadingNew Relationship

The Seven of Swords can represent a thrilling new love interest; however, resist throwing all caution to the wind. Trust your instincts if something feels off. Watch this person’s actions instead of believing their words alone. He or she may defy the rules or even the law. This card can also represent a heartbreaker who flirts with everybody.

Long Term Partnership

For a long-term partnership, your partner may be rebelling against something in the relationship that feels overly restrictive. They might protest against established norms in the relationship. This card can also indicate dishonesty by omission. You may have to read between the lines to get at the heart of what they truly need.  

Seeking Romance

If you are single, a past betrayal from a dishonest partner may be interfering with your ability to trust. Don’t allow the past to make you paranoid about the future. The past experiences have sharpened your wits. Trust your inner wisdom. You can no longer be fooled unless you choose to ignore warning signs.

The Hermit in Love | Daily Tarot Card Meanings for Relationships

"Cultivating Independence, Embracing Clear Communication, and Shining Your Inner Light in Love."

The Hermit is a card of introspection, wisdom, and reflection. It represents a period of introspective solitude where one retreats from the world to seek inner peace and understanding. In the context of love, the Hermit emphasizes the need for clear communication, personal space, and emotional self-reliance. This card is a reminder that a healthy relationship not only nurtures connection but also fosters individual growth and autonomy.

The Hermit ❤️🧙‍♂️ in #love Tarot Card and its Significance in Relationships on YouTube

The Hermit (Upright) in a Love ReadingNew Relationship

Even in the beginning of a relationship, a Hermit partner will habitually withdraw to recenter and process. Although this person cares, he (or she) will be frequently absent due to physical proximity or other obligations. If both partners are independent and self-reliant this connection holds potential. However, mutual affection must be communicated and understood. It's important to cultivate patience and understanding, acknowledging your partner's need for solitude, while ensuring open lines of communication about needs and feelings.

Long Term Partnership

Hermit partnerships thrive on independence. There is likely a deep bond between both people, but also a desire to periodically retreat, replenish, or work on independent goals. Both partners might even prefer to sleep in separate places. The Hermit is a natural scholar, artist, or deep thinker who lives more in his inner landscape than he does with others. This relationship dynamic calls for respecting each other's personal space while nurturing the bond you share. Remember, individual growth contributes to the growth of the relationship.

Seeking Romance

The appearance of the Hermit does not mean that you are doomed to be alone! Seeking an authentic love takes time. This card often mirrors a feeling that you are walking through the dark. Much like the Hermit, you can’t see your way fully through the passing shadow. Your inner light is illuminating the next step to take. Choose the wise path. Love will follow. Take this time to understand yourself better, and trust that the right love will come when you're ready.

The Hermit (Reversed) in a Love ReadingNew Relationship

The Hermit reversed might find it awkward to connect with others, having “gone it alone” for so long. This person truly desires to connect in a meaningful partnership but may lack some basic relationship skills. This person will also retreat when his feelings are hurt, or he feels misunderstood. Communication does not always come easy for the Hermit reversed. With patience and open-heartedness, a deeper connection can be formed. Recognize their struggle and offer understanding and gentle encouragement.

Long Term Partnership

The Hermit reversed can represent an overly critical partner in a relationship. He (or she) is a scorekeeper and will analyze their partner’s every word looking for inconsistencies. Instead of self-reflection, they may focus on what they think everyone else needs to improve. This is often a smokescreen for feeling neglected or not knowing how to ask for what they need. It's important to address these issues directly, encouraging a healthy balance of self-reflection and constructive feedback in the partnership.

Seeking Romance

The Hermit reversed can signify that it’s time to rejoin the world of the living. Becoming too isolated can feel safe and comfortable because you are never challenged to grow. It may be time to take slow and steady steps into society again. Don’t be afraid of calling more attention to yourself and sharing your light. Stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to new experiences and potential connections. Don't let fear hold you back from finding love.

The Star in Love | Daily Tarot Card Meanings for Relationships

"Nurturing Inner Brilliance, Fostering Long-lasting Friendships, and Embracing Balanced Energy in Love"

The Star tarot card is a beacon of hope, inspiration, and rejuvenation. Radiating with positivity, it symbolizes renewal, spiritual love, and the guiding light of our inner wisdom. In a love reading, the Star signals a period of healing and tranquility, and a time of growth and optimism. It serves as a reminder to embrace our individuality, uphold our friendships, and bring balance and patience into our relationships.

The Star ❤️⭐ in #love Tarot Card and its Significance in Relationships on YouTube

The Star (Upright) in a Love ReadingNew Relationship

When first getting to know a Star person, they can come across as rather distant. This is a defense mechanism they learned to protect themselves from the pressure they often feel from others. The Star card can signify that your new interest holds a lot of potential. However, you will have to let this connection intensify slowly. Try to establish a firm friendship first. Patience and understanding are key. Respect their space and let the relationship bloom at its own pace, nurturing the seed of friendship before expecting love to flourish.

Long Term Partnership

A relationship with a Star personality can radiate an aura of destiny. No matter what life-changes may unexpectedly alter your path together, the bond you share is eternal. At the core of this partnership are two souls, joined in friendship, journeying through the ages. Star relationships are rare and can often stand the test of time if the friendship remains intact. This card is a reminder to cherish your relationship and continually nourish the friendship that underpins your love. Together, you can navigate any challenges life throws at you.

Seeking Romance

If you are single, the Star advises you to spend time with your friends. Release your expectations. Express yourself freely and socialize again. Enjoying time out in the world with friends can increase your chances for finding a potential romance. Don’t be afraid to let yourself shine! The universe is encouraging you to be authentic, celebrate your individuality, and embrace joy. Love will come when you're radiating positivity and true self-love.

The Star (Reversed) in a Love ReadingNew Relationship

A Star reversed personality will have the same “it-factor” as their upright counterpart but may lack the wisdom to know how to wield it. They can sometimes come off as self-absorbed or emotionally cool. They may also be a bit one-dimensional, making their charisma the center of their personal universe, while leaving little room for anything (or anyone) else. While it's essential to appreciate their charisma, it's equally important to maintain your own boundaries and ensure that you're not overlooked or undervalued in this dynamic.

Long Term Partnership

Upright or reversed, a relationship with the Star person is special. When reversed the Star warns of imbalance for one partner. External demands may be adding a lot of pressures to this person’s plate. They may be too available to the outside world. Boundaries may need to be established around the expenditure of energy so that this little Star does not burn out. This card calls for an open discussion about balance in your relationship. Ensure you both feel valued and supported, and remember that it's okay to say 'no' to external demands to protect your inner peace.

Seeking Romance

When the Star appears reversed, your energy is better spent on developing your talents and friendships for now. If you keep working on yourself, you will shine brightly. What better magic is needed for attracting love? Invest your energy into whatever makes you emanate excellence. Don’t waste precious feelings on barren pursuits. Your time and energy are valuable; put them towards things that nurture your spirit and amplify your brilliance. When you're radiating self-confidence and fulfillment, love will surely find its way to you.

Temperance (Reversed) | Tarot Card of the Day

 “Replenish, Relax, and Restore Balance for Holistic Well-being”

Temperance (Reversed) | Tarot Card

If Temperance appears reversed, it signifies depletion, and a need for restoration.

It’s as if you are dehydrated, either literally or symbolically. Temperance reversed calls your attention to areas of your mind and body where there are knots of tension and asks you to release them. The Angel on the card symbolizes the need to surrender current stress to the Divine. You are being called back to reconnect with what is personally sacred to you. The imagery of flowing water on the card signifies the healing properties of water. An easy way to restore equilibrium is to give your body more water. This will do wonders for your mood and energy level. Perhaps it’s time to reconnect with the bodies of water in nature. Rivers, lakes and oceans naturally have a soothing effect which can release accumulated stresses that are disturbing your mind and heart.

Temperance reversed nudges you to embrace the art of self-nurturing and relaxation. To do this, you may need to tap into practices such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or even spending time in nature. This card signals a gentle reminder to be kinder to yourself, as rushing to meet deadlines or overworking only leaves you fatigued and out of sync. Create a balance between work and relaxation, knowing that you can only pour from a filled cup.

YouTube | Temperance 🪽for May 29th (Reversed) | Daily Tarot Reading/Card of the Day | Elliot Oracle

YouTube | Temperance (Reversed) | Tarot Card of the Day

When you're feeling stressed, do you notice your body reacting in unusual ways, causing concern about your health?

Temperance is a card that carries a significant message of balance, moderation, and slowing down. It serves as a gentle reminder to listen to your body and restore your equilibrium by providing it with what it needs. Do you listen to your inner needs or push through, further depleting yourself?

The angel depicted on the Temperance card represents your higher self, which knows precisely how much of anything you can endure. The angel is pouring just the right amount of water from one cup to replenish the other, demonstrating your need to replenish what has been depleted. The angel is also standing with one foot in the stream and the other on dry land, symbolizing the importance of balancing both the "real world" and what your inner self needs. By following the angel's lead and focusing on your equilibrium, you can look forward to a brighter future.

Temperance holds a unique position between two challenging cards: Death and the Devil. It provides a much-needed respite on the journey through the Major Arcana, representing a place of self-care and restoration before stepping back into the fray. The many Angels in the tarot symbolize your higher self, and Temperance's placement in the Major Arcana emphasizes the need to connect with the transcendent or "big picture" during difficult times.

Stressful situations can deplete you quickly, like holding your breath underwater while endlessly swimming. Temperance is a reminder to return to the surface, breathe in the sweet air, and replenish yourself before returning to the depths. By taking time for self-care and restoring your balance, you can go back into the world renewed and revitalized.

It's easy to fall into the trap of putting others' needs before your own, leading to feelings of burnout and exhaustion. Temperance encourages you to prioritize your health and wellbeing, ensuring that you have plenty to give to others. What is your body telling you it needs to restore balance? More water, more rest, quiet time, a vacation, a break, time with your favorite books, or a reading?

Temperance is all about balance and moderation.

When this card appears reversed, you will find that it is necessary to release excessiveness: Excessive worry about a stressful situation, excessive focus on only one area of your life, excessive consumption of something that depletes your energy, excessive escapism, excessive obsessions. Your personal energy field needs to be cleared to move forward at this time. If you find yourself excessively doing one thing, shift your energy to focusing on another aspect of your life that would benefit from your attention. Know that where you are today, is just where you need to be. Be okay with areas of your life being “works in progress.” Other cards in a reading may illuminate what the source of your depletion is.

Five of Wands (Upright) | Tarot Card of the Day

"Overcoming the Comparison Game, Cultivating Inner Worth, and Fostering Cooperation."

Five of Wands (Upright) | Tarot Card

The Five of Wands represents competition, ambition, and struggle.

It symbolizes the inner tension we feel when we are caught up in our egos, constantly comparing our “status” in relation to others. Early on kids are taught “you must be the winner!” Life is a series of competitions.... best at music, best at Monopoly, best at softball, best at spelling. You must win at each thing you try otherwise...........you must be a loser, a nothing, a failure at life. This sort of “all or nothing” thinking sets up impossible standards that can never be attained. As kids grow into adulthood, they carry this toxic baggage, feeling there is something wrong with them. No wonder so many adults struggle with self-esteem.

When the Five of Wands appears in a reading, it's a signal that we need to recognize the destructive patterns rooted in our competitive nature. It's essential to embrace a more balanced perspective, understanding that our self-worth is not solely based on external achievements. The card invites us to reflect on what truly matters in life and find inner fulfillment beyond social comparisons. By fostering a healthier mindset, we can work collaboratively with others, transforming competition into cooperation and conflict into creative solutions.

Five of Wands 🪄💥 for May 28th (Upright) | Daily Tarot Reading/Card of the Day | Elliot Oracle

YouTube video for the Five of Wands (Upright) | Tarot Card of the Day

Do you constantly compare your “status” with others?

Do you feel that you must be perfect at everything? Have you ever stopped to think how adolescent that is?

The adolescents on the card are competing.[1] Each is trying to prove that he has the biggest stick. Each of the competitors think there can only be one winner. They think to themselves, “Either I win this, or I am humiliated.” The teenagers on the card do not have the wisdom that age engenders. They do not see that each is an individual, with their own combination of unique skills. This is represented by their distinctive colored costumes and designs. Each figure in the card has condensed his whole concept of self-worth on a game of sticks! This is all or nothing thinking, and it is very damaging to self-esteem.

You don’t have to win at everything to be worthy.

Think about it, could you ever attain being the richest, most beautiful, eternally young, perfect bodied, artistic genius? Oh, and smartest person in the world, best at every sport, every subject, every language, every artistic medium and every skill set known to man? Nobody can do that! The truth is that we each have a unique combination of gifts. You might not be the best at each skill and talent you possess, however, there is no person on the planet with your unique combination of talents, skills, and abilities.

The Five of Wands encourages you to shift the focus from competition to collaboration. Each individual is a piece of the puzzle, contributing their unique skills and talents to the larger picture. Rather than comparing or competing, we can achieve greater success and fulfillment by recognizing and appreciating each other's strengths. It's not about who has the biggest stick, but how we can use our individual 'sticks' to build something grander together.

Today, catch yourself if you are playing the game of the big sticks! It’s ridiculous! You are special, unique and radiate a beauty that is all your own. Nobody does you like you. Your unique blend of skills, talents, and qualities is your greatest strength. So, embrace your individuality, honor your uniqueness, and allow yourself to shine in your own distinct way. My favorite entertainer Judy Garland used to say:

“Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.”

Five of Wands in a Love ReadingNew Relationship

The Five of Wands can warn of childishness, immaturity, or incompatible values in a new relationship. Just because you prize certain qualities or expectations does not promise that the person you feel strongly about feels the same. This card can also signify an internal conflict about whether you should proceed with this person. Let your maturity to lead the way.

Long Term Partnership

The Five of Wands can highlight a simmering conflict that habitually boils over. This can come in the form of bickering, squabbling, or “scorekeeping” insignificant infractions. The point trying to be proved has nothing to do with the underlying source of the tension.

Seeking Romance

If you are single, you may still be feeling conflicted about a past love. Although you may feel hurt and angry, there is a strange attraction to revisiting the past. Before attempting a new relationship, seek closure for unresolved feelings first. This card can also signify unresolved anger that is frustrating your search for love.

[1] Johannes Fiebig and Evelin Burger, The Ultimate Guide to the Rider Waite Tarot, (Woodbury, MN. Llewellyn Publications., 2016), 86. The authors of this book were the first to make me realize that these were adolescents competing in a struggle.

The Queen of Swords can represent a guarded personality. She (or he) has probably learned in the past how much love can sting. Be patient and pique her intellectual interest. Appeal to this person’s mind and you can begin to appeal to their heart. The Queen of Swords can represent an individual who is attracted to an intellectually mature partner without drama. Demonstrate your intelligence, your emotional maturity, and respect for their autonomy. Remember, it's not only about sparking feelings but also about fostering a connection that thrives on mutual understanding and respect.

Long Term Partnership

For an established relationship, the Queen of Swords can represent a power couple who share mutual professional and life goals. However, physical intimacy can become neglected in this relationship. The Queen of Swords all too easily detaches from physical pleasure, and her partner may require physical intimacy more than she does. Honest communication can help. Discuss your emotional and physical needs openly, ensuring that your shared ambitions don't overshadow the need for intimacy and connection in your relationship.

Seeking Romance

If you are single, the Queen of Swords encourages you to seize your power. Enjoy your unlimited freedom and opportunities leading toward your best life. Pursue all opportunities that lead toward personal success. The sky is the limit for what you will attain. The love you are looking for will likely find you when you find independent bliss and success. Your self-assured energy and self-love will likely draw the right kind of people toward you, forming relationships rooted in mutual respect and admiration.

Queen of Swords (Reversed) in a Love ReadingNew Relationship

The Queen of Swords reversed is not the type of person you want to cross. She (or he) may “keep score” and try to catch others in every inconstancy to fuel her ever raging righteous indignation. This person may have a chip on their shoulder and can be difficult to get close to. Remember, it's vital to maintain your own sense of self and balance when dealing with a challenging personality. Patience, respect, and clear communication can help build bridges, but don't neglect your own needs and boundaries.

Long Term Partnership

The Queen of Swords reversed alerts people to any harsh communication they are engaging in. This card can also represent arguments in relationships where bitter words are exchanged. This card warns not to eviscerate another to prove a point. This card can also advise you to find a healthy outlet for anger or irritation that can arise in relationships. Keeping the conversation respectful, even when disagreeing, is key. Consider implementing tools such as active listening and constructive criticism to help create a more harmonious environment.

Seeking Romance

If the Queen of Swords reversed represents you, she warns you not to become too isolated from others. If you’ve been hurt or disappointed in the past, you may feel tempted to shut others out. Boundaries are important, but you need to allow for vulnerability and connection. Give others the benefit of the doubt before arriving at a conclusion. Remember that your past experiences don't define your future ones. Give yourself permission to heal and be open to new connections, while maintaining healthy boundaries.

Are you content with your life just as it is right now?

Do you tell yourself, "I'll be happy once I finally achieve X, or get Y.”? Do you race through time not acknowledging even small achievements you make? Are you sometimes a cruel task master to yourself? (You don't get to enjoy anything until you finish this!)

In the foreground of the card (in the right- hand corner) is the Queen's pet rabbit. Rabbits are symbols of fertility (hence the Easter Bunny and the budding of Spring). They were also believed to bring good luck. (Remember those ghastly carnival rabbit’s feet in the 1980's?)

An old teacher of mine used to say, "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." If you are preparing the way for future success, all you need to do is look out for the opportunity, then move toward it as swiftly as the rabbit when it arises. Rabbits are also symbolic of nervous energy. This reminds us that we must still act toward our dreams even if we are afraid.

The Queen of Pentacles reminds you to ground yourself in the abundance of the present.

Acknowledge the warmth of your home, the good meal you are eating, your time with loved ones, the beauty of the raindrops misting outside. Look at life with content eyes. Look at all this beauty!

Today, know that your efforts are ripening and blooming in their perfect timing. Find contentment in the now. Be like the Queen of Pentacles and enjoy what you have, what you've already achieved, and what is still manifesting.

The rabbit that accompanies the Queen of Pentacles can signify an intense physical attraction accompanied by nervous anxiety. Be present in the moment rather than projecting too far into the future. The foundation you are establishing must be cultivated slowly and steadily, with time and patience. All is blossoming in the Queen’s garden.

Long Term Partnership

The Queen of Pentacles governs long-term security and well-established relationships. Bonds are reaffirmed by investing in shared goals for the future. This couple can benefit from spending a bit more money on leisure and relaxation, making pleasure more of a priority. This card can also signify a couple that is patiently accumulating wealth over time.

Seeking Romance

If you are single, the Queen of Pentacles reassures you that all is growing in its appropriate time. Be patient with the process. Redirect your attention to where successes are occurring in your life. This is where the magic is pooling. The seeds have already been planted for your future happiness. Focus on the work before you as the garden steadily comes into full bloom.
