Weekly Guidance

May 19th: Ten of Pentacles *Reversed*

​​

This week's card highlights insecurity or unrest that is evident in your life at this time. You may be experiencing financial setbacks, insecurity at work, loss of material goods, and/or a time of unrest within the family structure. For some of you this card indicates instability within your career wherein you are no longer feeling confident in job security, or perhaps an actual termination. In this case, it's important to address your stress, maintain an openness in the career space and be realistic about what kinds of sacrifices you may need to make to get back on the saddle again. 

In the case where you may be experiencing financial setbacks, you may need to get creative in how you are preparing for the future. Look for means of greater security (versus risky investments) and diversify your assets. It would be beneficial to work on perspective if you're dealing with this type of stability - embracing all that is abundant in your life so you can offset the negative point of view, and get on track to create new ways of cultivating abundance. And if you're in the position of actually losing the material goods you've cultivated or were expecting, be it through your hard work or an inheritance, now would be a good time to go inward to assessment work. What are you willing to fight for, to sacrifice? What you can do without? And then where can you create positive change (perspective work) so you can focus on what matters, versus what is being lost. This advise is meant to keep your head up, to embrace an optimistic perspective, to gain emotional control, and keep progressing so that you don't get stuck. 

All of this instability that you may be feeling or experiencing is bound to create unrest in the family now or in the near future. And in cases where a family member is feeling or creating that instability, the advice is the same either way: avoid unnecessary conflict and do your part to self-regulate where you can, such as regarding your emotions, actions and words. Create more bonding experiences and establish open lines of communication in the relationships where you want and need more support and understanding. And distance in the circumstances that may be creating the discord. Use your power of discernment if you're dealing with a loved one experiencing stress and instability, finding ways to support them or others without enabling, and encourage this work to get them, and the situation, back on track to stability and abundance once again.

In sum, if you are feeling the pressure of the scramble and it's inflicting instability in more areas of your life than need be, then the Ten of Pentacles is telling you to contain it. Focus on what is good and abundant, let go of what is no longer serving you, and walk, don't scramble, toward means of security, comfort and support. For there are many ways in which they exist in your life and you will weather this storm well if are able to maintain control amongst the chaos experienced internally and externally.
