Week of September 25

4 Coins

The shows a man with a greedy look on his face.  He is dressed in green and holding the 4 coins close to himself, as if protecting them.

The main thought on this card is greed.  It is different than being focused or putting on blinders to achieve a task.  Greed is selfish in nature, thinking only of oneself.  The is a caution placed on this card.  Do not be greedy in the physical nature of things.  Rather, acknowledge these and be generous.  Giving is the opposite of greed.  But do use caution with generosity as well.  Make sure that your own needs are provided for first, then give of your heart with love and caring.

Four Swords

This card shows a man sleeping, unaware, hovering above the 4 swords.  He lies below the symbol of chi ro.  The raven is hovering above him dropping a red (meaning Life) and white (meaning spirituality).  The combination of these 2 forces is a call to take time to rest and recharge in a spiritual nature.  mediation is one way to do this.  Mediate and draw within to attain this spiritual "sleep" will allow this spiritual change to occur within.

The Moon

The shows a shapely woman, naked before a full moon.  On each side there are the Egyptian gods, Thoth holding the Chi symbol.  There are also 2 anubis dogs on each side hold a chain with the triple moon symbol.  The triple moon symbols is often associated with intuition.  Although it may seem as though there is darkness around you, there is the promise of a new day.  Bask in the light of the moon and rest in a spiritual night.

Overall

There are several themes which tie these cards together.  One is the number 4.  It is in 2 of the cards this week.  The number four is associated with truth and honesty.  During your time of reflection which is necessary this week, be honest with yourself about what you need in order to grow spiritually and develop gifts and talents which can then be shared with others.

Also 2 of the 3 cards depict the chi symbol.  This can symbolize the life forces which lie within,  The "life" is also depicted in 2 cards this week.

To tie everything together, you are in need of time alone spiritually in order to develop gifts with which you are to share.  These gifts are not fully developed as yet, but they are coming.  Intuition will be strong so practice fine tuning your intuitive gifts.  Take time for you this week!

Gratitude in all things

King of Coins

There is a man holding a coin, He is dressed in a rich green cloak and garment.  The columns behind him are also green.  He is standing at a rail possibly over looking the people of his kingdom.  There is a plague with the symbol of the earth.

This man brings tidings of wealth.  Not necessarily financial wealth, but spiritual, material, and abundance of those around you.  You are down to earth in all that you do presented by the color and the vines on the column.  You hold abundance in your hands, just like the king on this card.  Be grateful and express your gratitude to those around you.  This will help keep your grounded and happy and able to fulfill your day to day duties.

Nurture

Queen of coins

The queen of coins is depicted with wisdom and intuition here. She is wearing a green gown symbolizing her security in her surroundings including financial situations.  Her third eye is bright with radiant light shining through with intuition.  The third eye is symbolic of intution and wisdom.  The magnolia flowers which surround her are beautiful and symbolize her love of nurturing her surroudings and that which encompass it.
Earlier cards this week, spoke of maintaining balance and harmony while overcoming obstacles in life.  This resonates for myself by adding insight to these earlier cards.  It is telling me that I need to focus within, on intuition for clearer path to understanding obstacles and deciding on the choices I am presented with.  However, I need to remember to nurture the things around me and not get lost in myself to the point that I neglect that which is important to me.  

Please comment on how this resonates with you.
