Yesterday’s card was the 6 of Pentacles. Another card affiliated with a Fixed sign; I think I need to take it to heart, but it’s difficult for me. I’m going to use the Morgan-Greer Tarot for this write-up.
The 6 of Pentacles is a card of sharing the wealth. In this deck, there is only one person’s face shown, but there are hands reaching out for the coin in his hand. There is a set of scales in this card, like the Justice card, and I think it is to symbolize impartiality in the distribution of the wealth. Six is the number of balance and harmony within flux. How better to display balance than scales?
Pentacles is the suit of Earth, the element of stability. Taurus is the Fixed sign of Earth (Virgo being the Mutable and Capricorn the Cardinal), and I have to admit I like the sign of Taurus. I know I said that about Leo, too, and did not say it about Aquarius. My affinity for these signs is interesting to me because Taurus and Leo are the Earth and Fire signs of the Fixed quality while I identify as Mutable Air (Gemini) and Cardinal Water (Cancer), and I see the former two signs as opposites to the signs into which I categorize myself. Maybe I admire those qualities I do not see in myself.
I can see how the 6 of Pentacles is affiliated with Taurus because Taureans are practical and understanding of how lasting success takes time. I’m sure it’s easier to amass wealth you can confer on others when you are prepared to make a prolonged effort in accruing it. It is a warning to not be too discriminating in who you believe is deserving of your assistance, though.
Peace and balance,
Erin
