Tarot reading for February 10, 2023

This week has not been the easiest week for me. There have a lot of challenges. It’s been a good week though. But here we are on the last day of this week. The weekend brings us the Super Bowl, which is happening close to where I live. There is energy in the air here, and it’s a little exciting even though I don’t follow sports. I hope everyone will have a great Friday and a great weekend wherever you are in the world.

In today’s spread, we start with the Nine of Pentacles.

Telling us about our day, the Nine of Pentacles depicts a woman standing in a vineyard with a bird perched on her hand. You can see a house in the background, and the landscape is serene. Nine pentacles surround her. She seems content and happy. Nothing is amiss here. Everything is as it should be. I feel as though she is someone who has worked for what she has and is happy about that. She is optimistic about what she has built and the success or fortune that comes from it. This card speaks to us of self-sufficiency. It’s also about accomplishment and financial success. About our day, this card tells us that today is a day to notice what we’ve built. To take notice of our accomplishments, whether it’s the whole of our careers or perhaps the achievements of this past week. Today is a good day to take a look and pat ourselves on the back for the good we’ve done till now.

Our next card speaks to us about what we can do about today. The King of Swords shows a king on his throne. He carries a sword and looks a little stern. He is a serious leader—a great commander. The sky behind him is a pale blue, with some clouds but nothing too heavy. There is a butterfly carved into his throne. The butterfly is a symbol of transformation and change. And I feel that this card is telling us that what we should do today is to start thinking about becoming more of. Leader. Taking more of the qualities and responsibilities of a leader. It’s asking us to charge of our day and to own our actions today. Not so much because today needs a leader but because now that we’ve accomplished what we have, the next step is to do better, to be better. And to get there, we must look within ourselves and take command of our lives, work, attitudes, and selves.

Our takeaway card is The Lovers. In this card, we see two people, a woman and a man, standing nude. A large angel hangs in the sky above them with hair that looks like it’s on fire. Behind the woman is a tree bearing fruit and a serpent climbing the tree trunk. Obviously a reference to the garden of Eden. Behind the man is another tree. I’m not sure what kind it is, but it appears to have yellow and red leaves. There is a giant sun behind the angel. And a red mountain sits in the background between our two lovers.

This card is all about love. And not just love but LOVE! When this card comes up, it usually tells us of the kind of love that lasts forever. It’s the version of love that everyone wants from their partner. That kind of love changes your life. It’s a card that’s also about attraction and desire. But the good kind of desire. Not the kind that drives you mad into a state of depression. This kind of desire is good and uplifting. And so our takeaway card tells us to include our loved ones in our successes and accomplishments. To celebrate our wins with them.. t have them in our life. Just because they’re next to us doesn’t mean they’re automatically included in our success. Make an effort to bring them into our wins and our feeling of contentment today. However, it’s not about bragging to them as much as it to let them enjoy the fruit of our labor as much as we do. If you don’t have to work this weekend, don’t. Spend time with your loved ones. Enjoy their company, and let them enjoy yours. What good is success if we can’t share it with our loved ones.
