Card of the day: 4 of Pentacles. The 4 of Pentacles asks that you let go a little in your material world, especially your finances. What do I mean by this? When the 4 of Pentacles appears in a reading, it brings to your awareness the fear you have of losing stability in money. If you are scrimping and penny pinching, you are not allowing flow to your money. Of course, it's good to be smart with your money, but you can still treat yourself in small ways. These small treats are how we get in the zone of feeling abundant (9 of Pentacles) which allows us to attract the abundance we really wish for (9 of Cups.) It's funny to get this reading because, personally, I was going to test the Universe on this very subject today anyways, before even pulling these cards. I've been trying not to spend lately and I'm proud of that, except I notice I'm starting to feel deprived. In the past when I've had this feeling, I treat myself to something small and meaningful to me, usually a crystal or stone, or maybe a pretty dress. It can be scary to let the money go (4 of Pentacles,) knowing that I have bills to pay. But I also know these things make me feel abundant. Doing this sends the message to the Universe that you are worthy. Whenever I've done this, I find that the Universe always ends up paying for it in the end because I'll receive approximately the same amount of money in some other way, such as a free dinner or a sale on my work or a client books with me. The Universe is teaching us how to flow with money and live the life we envision, but you must first trust and let go. The two 9s in this reading reiterate the message of letting go. Try it out today. Ask the Universe to show you money. Start small so it's easier on the mind to let go. Spend $5 on something that just makes you happy, but most importantly, abundant. Watch how the Universe returns the $5 to you in other ways. You can always do more, but fear is a huge thing in this. You must be able to really let go for it to work.
Namaste 💜
