Nine of Pentacles and Four of Wands
This week, we have a Scorpio New Moon occurring on November 19-20. The New Moon marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle, offering a moment to release the burdens we’ve been carrying and to set our intentions for this new phase.
We have two cards that promote our growth and provide luck and comfort. Embrace these cards to experience the abundance and joy they offer under the New Moon.
Our first card this week is the Nine of Pentacles. This card is about receiving back the energy we give out. It tells us that we will begin to see the results of all our work and investments.
This could be connected to our finances, our personal relationships, or our physical health. Pentacles are all about those tangible elements, so be on the lookout for those gains.
This card rarely indicates sudden success or wealth from out of nowhere. The gains this card points to are the result of our hard work and dedication. Contemplate the areas of your life you have been working on.
What changes have you made with your future in mind? Have you been putting in the effort to build strong relationships? Have you been investing in your health or career goals?
Your hard work will not go unnoticed this week, and you will start to see the fruits of your labor. When you spot any positive gains, take the time to be grateful. The act of gratitude only grows our gifts.
The Nine of Pentacles encourages us to recognize our efforts and be thankful for the blessings in our lives. Investing in ourselves and others is always worth our time. Taking time to appreciate ourselves and those around us will only make our lives more beautiful.
The Four of Wands also speaks to the need to be grateful for our successes and to celebrate with our communities. It’s a card about recognizing how much support we have and letting it fill us with pride and power.
The four wands on the card create a beautiful altar with an arch of wisteria flowers above. This altar is for a wedding or a spiritual ceremony. It is a place where we honor our community and publicly express our gratitude to our loved ones.
This card asks us to think about the web of support in our lives. It wants us to share our feelings of thankfulness and celebrate those we love. It wants us to really let in the sense of being nurtured and belonging. These feelings give us superpowers.
If you have been dealing with doubt or struggling with self-esteem, this card is here to remind you of your sacred community and your personal triumphs. If you have been getting in your head or isolating yourself, this card is here to show you that you are not alone.
Find a way to do something celebratory this week with those you love. Write down all the members of your chosen family. Look at their pictures, call them up, share a meal with them. Remind yourself of how many people you have on your side. Honor them in some way, and you will awaken a deep strength within.
Mantra for the week: Under the New Moon, I am surrounded by love. I am grateful for all that I have and all that is yet to come.
