Tarot Card for the Day, October 18, 2013, (Shadowscapes Tarot Deck)

The Ten of Pentacles
Finally an upright card! I was starting to wonder if we would ever get one. :)
This card showing the woman riding the dragon through the sky very comfortably speaks to us of a lot of things. The bottom line on the message for us today though is about having an attitude of gratefulness as we go through the day.
We can tell from the womans silk attire and gold adornments that she is well off financially. She is trusted by and trusts the dragon, who symbolizes the mysteries of life. The dragon keeps a protective eye on her even as they fly through the sky. It is easy to imagine that he shares his secrets with her so that she can make use of them. And from the position of her hand touching him, it is easy to imagine her affection for him and his care of her.
She is holding a peach which is known in some cultures to be an auspicious symbol. There is a castle in the background symbolizing that she has made some great accomplishments so far in her lifetime. It’s a really beautiful card. It implies that she is in tune with the universe and nature and she and they are a team. It has taken a lot of work to accomplish what she has so far. And she has learned many of the lessons of the mysteries of life along the way, making her always better capable of navigating through life.
Spirit is using the energy of this card for us today to highlight that there are so many things to be grateful about in our lives. To ask us to look around ourselves and take stock of the positive things we have in them. To “count the blessings” so to speak. Especially I feel the energy of this card being used to ask us to look back at where we have come from. To see how far we have come from there. To look at what we have accomplished so far as we work with Sacred Spirit, or the Universe, or God, or whatever name you give to that Supreme Being that has always been and will always be. What struggles have we faced and overcome? What goals have we set out towards and how close are we to reaching them? How many have we reached so far and then set new goals to go to from there? How much have we grown on our journey? What lessons have we learned along the way?
And for those of us that have suffered recent set-backs, this card still is a call for a change in perspective to that of gratitude. What are we lucky to still have in our lives? What are we lucky that we still have to work with? Or to lean on? Or to inspire us to carry on?
All we have to do is open our eyes and look around to see plenty to be grateful for. And as we are grateful, we draw more and more to us to make us grateful again, and in new ways. It’s a never-ending cycle if we keep focusing on our gratitude.
I began this blog, thinking that it would be a little bit of fun fortune telling every day. What I’m finding instead, is that Sacred Spirit has other ideas for it. Sacred Coaching I guess I’m starting to think of it as. God giving us tips on how to have a better life.
It would be fun to hear in the comments section how following some of this Sacred Coaching has worked out for some of the readers here.
Peace,
