Are you contemplating work around the house you’ve been putting off, but now that you’re home for a long weekend you’re thinking now is the time?  Allow the supportive energy of the Page of Pentacles to be the current that carries you through even the most mundane tasks on an upbeat note.  Don’t languish in a feeling of boredom to the point where you feel like you need to shake things, or people, up just for kicks because such actions might end up with you falling on your face.  As for those tasks you’ve been putting off?  Get ‘er done and get it out of your way, finally.  You now have the time.  If you are feeling blase’ in your relationships, do something positive about it, like communicate to that other, in a loving way.  Change means being honest about the situation and dealing with it, rather than ignoring there is a problem.  Remember, your hard work is always rewarded as you’ve seen in days past, and today is no exception.  However, this isn’t a good day for gambling or taking risks.  Transmute that bored feeling.  How? Methodology is key to pursuing what excites you most.  Create your own energy and enthusiasm and find someone who is the most upbeat and spiritually aware and ask what makes him/her tick.  You will learn some helpful tips.

Pa’ani me aloha … It’s vacation time!!  A great day to allow your inner child to bask and play in the Sun.  Celebrate your spark and appreciate who and what you are today.  Loosen that collar and head for the great outdoors for a day at play with the freedom to dream and have FUN.  There is a fundamental difference between taking one’s self seriously and taking one’s work seriously.  If you’re feeling the doldrums of work, this Page is here to signal that there is cause for hope and positive anticipation.  You have professional options because you hold the keys to unlocking what you choose to pursue.  Your finances are also improving and things will begin to take on a positive spin now.  If you’re looking into a large purchase, do your research before making your move.  Your body reflects your state of being, literally, so pay attention to what your body tells you now.  For example, if you’re experiencing low back pain, ask yourself, “Have I been taking on more than I can handle?  Why haven’t I done something about it?”  Get back to some long-neglected ritual work to respark your spiritual focus … and then, explore and expand by reading up on other spiritual traditions/ideas to broaden your perception about the Way It Is.

You feel confused, vulnerable and full of doubts. However, all is not as it seems. Feel the fear and do it anyway, because all will turn out well. Expect the new and unexpected to show up and welcome it into your life.  Your turbulent emotions are muddying the waters so step back and try to find clarity of mind, no matter how difficult this proves to be. Things may seem tough or confusing but stick with it, it’s right for you.  At this time, you desire comfort, security and happiness and may well need some emotional support and reassurance.  Things will turn out fine, just know that you are loved and that there are people around you who care.  You are afraid of making the wrong decisions. There is a warning here that foolhardy, impetuous actions could lead to major problems.  Perhaps you feel that you don’t have control over a situation, either personal or professional. You may feel unable to complete a task or stay in a current relationship and fear the consequences of your decisions. Perhaps you know deep down that what you want isn’t really such a good thing.  Deep down, however, you are Brave heart!  Your self-confidence and courageous spirit is unstoppable at the moment.  Be patient and compassionate, self-disciplined and strong and you will reap great rewards for your courage.  Insecurity is a devil that taunts us, but only if we listen to that ‘doubting Thomas’ we all have in our heads.  Ignore it.  What do your instincts tell you? Perhaps you don’t like what they say. Well you could always go against your intuition – but we all know what that leads to, don’t we!  You are about to undergo a period of dramatic change and upheaval – however this period of change will herald a new beginning.  It is time to re-evaluate. Sometimes, as difficult as the disappointment has been to take, change can create new possibilities you never dreamed of.  There could be problems relating to your property, or if considering a new property or move, progress will be thwarted.

You are hanging on too tightly to material things and people … what do you fear that is making you feel insecure and unprotected?  Being anxious and grasping will not bring you the security you seek.  If you love something, then you must let it go … and if it’s meant to be, then it will return to you.  Remember that saying?  Today, it applies to your present situation.  Are you too comfy in your job and that paycheck, even though what you’re doing no longer stimulates you and you feel dull?  Are you feeling unfulfilled in your relationship after all?  To be clingy is unhealthy, and this includes hanging onto old hurts and grudges.  What steps are you willing to take to change your present situation so that you are in growth mode again and without harming anyone in the process?  Make the time to meditate on these situations today because, as Buddha teaches us, non-attachment is freedom.  Change is actually the only constant in life … and change is inevitable:  struggle is an option.  Start your inquiry there.
