The cards pictured are from Uusi’s ‘Pagan Otherworlds’ deck.
The Empress and Six of Pentacles
This week, the cards emphasize the importance of balanced generosity and nurturing abundance. They call upon the themes of giving and receiving in a healthy, reciprocal way. Abundance is flowing because it’s shared and not hoarded. The cards are a reminder that we deserve support, softness, and equality.
This energy is grounding for the New Moon in Aries, which we will all experience on April 17. So many planets will be in Aries, and the energy will feel intense. There is a desire for new beginnings and perhaps even impulsive endings, so let the cards this week be the guide to keep us grounded.
The Empress card inspires us to embrace fierce self-care. She asks, What can we do to truly nurture ourselves? How can we create more safety and security in our lives?
From a place of love and safety, we can truly thrive. We can take more risks and be creative. We can live more fully. But without this foundation, we are only surviving, not thriving.
Allow the energy of The Empress to wash over you and take steps to love yourself more deeply this week. Know that unconditional love is available to you, and the universe accepts you just as you are.
The Empress wants us to love ourselves as we would a young child. She asks us to treat ourselves with patience, kindness, and care. She asks us to be the parents we always needed.
This type of love is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves. Through this work, we are creating a rich soil from which we can flourish and bloom.
It is only when we love ourselves daily and continue to show up that true transformation appears. The Empress will support the consistency needed in our practice. The fire energy of Aries will provide the motivation.
The Empress will inspire self-love. Be on the lookout for opportunities to care for yourself and build more safety in your life. It is a time to make choices that lead to a brighter future.
Our next card, the Six of Pentacles, represents success, wealth, and generosity. It emphasizes enjoying the rewards of your hard work while also giving back to those in need. This card signifies a balance between embracing new, fresh energy and acknowledging the past experiences that have led you to this moment.
When the Six of Pentacles influences a situation, things tend to unfold smoothly. This sense of productive harmony stems from a strong sense of self-trust. By stepping into our power, we discover our ability to achieve significant success and fulfillment. These rewards naturally flow from our efforts, investments, and confidence.
During times like this, we may find ourselves with more than we need. If you are in this situation, seek opportunities to support your community. Share the abundance you have and be generous with your resources. This is the best way to show gratitude to the Universe for your blessings and to keep the flow of generosity going.
Mantra for the week: Nurture what nourishes you and let support flow both ways.
