Lighthearted Lookahead: 5 of Pentacles
In General
The five of Pentacles isn’t generally a very optimistic card. In fact, it bodes isolation and poverty – when we look at the card we see a poverty stricken couple struggling bare feet in the snow. Yet they are standing outside a church, which is brightly lit and welcoming – if they truly wished they could simply walk in out of the cold to receive a warm welcome and a hot meal. So it might be time to start emerging from our cocoons, discard those cloaks and venture into society…
In Love
You and your partner are feeling a little left out at the moment. The post festive blues are still a recent memory and you’re still feeling the squeeze. But you have each other, that’s the main thing. And cosy meals in front of the TV aren’t so bad when you’re with the one you love.
But now is perhaps the time to consider venturing into company. Take small steps, and keep it economical. Perhaps invite a few friends around for a Teppanyaki Grill…. call it a Meatfest and ask them to bring the meat!
In Work
Grey clouds and slush everywhere we look. As we hunker into our dreary cubicles, dragging the January trudge behind us, it might be time to start reaching out to others. perhaps offer to fetch a coffee for your workmate, or simply offer to lend a helping hand. It’s good to offer each other support, and we all need some at this difficult time of year.
In Play
Not in the mood to party yet? Well, perhaps you could find some quieter ways to unwind. Perhaps a game of Gin Rummy with your bestie, or a cosy night in with Your PS4? How about a movie night? Perhaps even dust off the old scrabble board…
In Finances
Definitely a time for keeping the belt tight. You haven’t quite recovered from that debt you’ve been owed since before Christmas, so you’ve really been feeling the pinch as a result. Now isn’t the time to start loosening the purse strings. In fact it might be time to put the pride aside and accept some of those offers of help you’ve been receiving.
In Spirituality
It’s not easy to open yourself up to the Spirit of the Universe and keep yourself isolated at the same time… despite how easy our friends the Buddhist Monks make it seem! Sometimes it is worth while just making that effort to get out – even in the snow – and take ourselves to church or the local meditation classes. really, you’ll appreciate it once you’ve done it!
