The Knight of
Pentacles
“In the present position, the
Knight of Pentacles signals that you may be bored amidst all of your
contentment.”
How selfish
of me to be bored when I have almost everything I could possibly want. What a
luxury it is to have time to be bored. I do not have to fight to survive or
worry about paying my bills. I do not have to worry about getting sick or
having a roof over my head. I am finally at a place in my life where there is
not real financial hardship and I have the audacity to be bored.
The Three of Wands
“The best
position for the Three of Wands is the Future. When the card is drawn for here
it shows that hope will spring eternal concerning all of the matters in which
you are currently invested.”
There are so many things that I am
currently invested in – buying a house, remodeling a house, learning to feel
confident in myself as a writer, finishing another graduate degree while
working full time, trying to date and meet new people. I am always hopeful. I
never doubt that things work out in the end. I trust that things happen for a
reason. Again, how do possibly have the right to ever feel sad when everything
I have ever wanted has come true for me eventually.
The Empress
“Looking into the future position, The Empress
card foretells good things when landing here. This is the fairy tale happy
ending. When the future holds as much promise as The Empress represents, you
can know that a symbol of hope is becoming more real with each passing day. The
card here can be an indicator of becoming wealthy or of finding a person who
loves and appreciates you as their definition of beauty.”
The Empress has everything she could ever need
and is looking to the next adventure. Do I have everything I need? In Maslow’s hierarchy of needs most of
my physiological needs are met (food, shelter, air, etc..). I have my safety
needs met (job, home, family, friends.) As far as love and belonging needs, I
am secure in my friendships and my family, but I am lacking intimacy. According the hierarchy that should make it
much harder for me to have self-esteem and self-confidence, which should
therefore make it nearly impossible to lead a creative life. According to Maslow, I am incapable of
self-actualization. To me, this seems
like another excuse to be unhappy. I
think I will disagree with Maslow and agree with the Tarot. I am the Empress. I will be happy in life and
in love, whatever forms they happen to take.
