Ace of Pentacles

The seed of opportunity is in your hands and it's up to you to nurture it into something big. There are readers who feel the Ace of Pentacles signals a coming gift of cash, a will, a windfall of money, but from my own personal experience it's more like a door opening into a better future. You have an idea, a small gift, that can be transformed into something that will pay off eventually. It's really up to you. Grab onto that brilliant idea, invest that handful of cash you found in an old purse, build on that invention, and GO. Looking at the card some more, I have the urge to mention that there are lizards around the pentacle. This tells me you should be like a 'chameleon' with your idea (or your cash) and not confide any clever ideas at this time. Don't let on that you have this advantage, because there are those who will steal and use it for themselves. Transform, conceal, change your colors around those who are sneaky. Live with a lizard? You're going to have to think like them and play a similar game. It's not always wise to boast around listening ears. Be wise and be ingenious.

Have a great Tuesday!

Dreams

I find it somewhat difficult to remember my dreams upon waking up each morning. My eyes open, life churns into action. Animals, kids, coffee, school. Dream forgotten. That's not unusual—most people are too busy to remember what they dreamed about the night before, and most feel it unnecessary to pick the imagery apart and apply the meanings to everyday existence. In a spiritual sense, dreams are a time of healing, a time to connect with the invisible realm, and also a time to dredge and address the issues we often push under the rug in our wake state. The symbolism, though often too surreal to comprehend, reflects that which we fear and which also can be our biggest asset, similar to the way tarot forces us to see our weaknesses and strengths.

Last night I had a dream that I was traveling by car to an unknown location. It felt like a work trip,  maybe doing book readings, or playing music. I pulled into a small town and decided to stop at a meek-looking hotel, which actually turned out to be a lot grander on the inside. It had an oasis feel to it: ferns hanging from the ceiling, brass and gold accents, a water feature, leather chairs with people lounging around with drinks in their hands. I checked in and went to find my room on the second floor, but my 'room' turned out to be a tiny bed in a closet—with no door. Not good. Not only that, but suddenly my daughter shows up and I have to find a bed for her as well, and I certainly can't have her sleeping in a closet! So, we go back down to the lobby where I demand an actual room with an actual bed. No problem. But instead of a key, they give me a piece of paper with a gold stamp on it. Fancy. I'm excited about it, because any room that needs a gold stamp must be really nice. However, before going back upstairs, I run into Pat Sajak. Yes, that's right. The game show host. I'm really excited and I tell him that he's a funny guy, like Johnny Carson funny, which takes him off guard and makes him blush a bit. That's when I notice his face is covered with a map—I see little town markers and names and lines running over his forehead, which probably stand for highways.

Then I wake up.

At first it upsets me that I'll never get to see that fancy room, but later on after drinking some coffee, I realize I've been getting the World card a lot lately along with the Wheel of Fortune card. What game show does Pat Sajak host?

Should I be planning for a trip in the near future? We shall see.

So, have you been experiencing a lot of vivid dreams lately, and do you take the time to write them down? You'd be surprised by what the spirit world (and your higher self) is trying to tell you.

Have a beautiful day, and many blessings!
