Today I gonna talk about my Tarot reading practice with Temperance and the Eight of Pentacles.
I woke up this morning, feeling a bit off-balance, like something’s gotta give. I shuffled my Tarot deck, thinking about how to find some balance in my life. So, I pulled two cards: Temperance and the Eight of Pentacles.
First, I looked at Temperance. This card, it’s all about harmony and finding the middle ground, you know? It is like an angel calmly pouring water between two cups, a picture of balance. Seeing this, I thought, “Okay, I need to chill out and not go to extremes.” Maybe it’s about eating better, not working too much, or just taking some time for myself. This card is a big reminder to keep things steady and not let any one area of my life take over the others.
Next up, the Eight of Pentacles. This one shows a craftsman totally focused on his work, making pentacles. It’s all about honing your skills, putting in the effort, and getting better at what you do. I’m no master of craft, you know, I was just trying to figure out the meaning of the card. Looking at this card, I realized that maybe part of finding balance is also about dedicating time to things I enjoy and want to improve in. It could be a hobby, a skill for work, or even just learning something new. The key is consistent effort and patience, not trying to rush things.
So, I put these two cards together in my mind. Temperance is telling me to balance things out, and the Eight of Pentacles is showing me that part of that balance comes from steady work on myself. It’s not just about avoiding extremes, but also about actively working on personal growth and improvement. It’s a process.
I spent the rest of the day reflecting on this. I made a simple plan:
- First, I’ll pay more attention to my body and mind. Maybe start with a bit of exercise and some healthier meals.
- Second, I’ll set aside some time each day to work on a skill or hobby I’ve been neglecting. Nothing too intense, just something to keep me engaged and growing.
By the end of the day, I felt a bit more centered. It’s not like all my problems are solved, but I have a clearer idea of how to approach them. Balance isn’t just about doing nothing; it’s about doing the right things in the right amounts. And sometimes, it’s about putting in the work to improve yourself and your life, one step at a time.
