What would be the best thing for me to focus on today?
Published by Becky Menendez on
King of Pentacles:
I might not have thought of this as my primary focus, in the moment anyway, but it’s certainly been one of them (e.g. wanting to get on top of my budget this weekend to make responsible decisions). And maybe not a mental or emotional state, but an aspect of where I am (and keep being reminded that I am?). I have enough. I am secure. I am… attempting to be more disciplined though I honestly don’t feel I’m being great at that yet. It is on my mind.
Meaning: King of Pentacles signifies a person who is reliable, responsible, and financially successful. It represents a time of stability, accomplishment, and the ability to manifest your goals in the material realm. The card suggests that you have achieved a level of financial security and mastery in your endeavors. It encourages you to continue to be practical, disciplined, and reliable in your approach to wealth and success. The King of Pentacles brings a sense of abundance, authority, and the potential for long-lasting material well-being.
Two of Wands:
(Think I’m sensing energy around me?)
Again, uncertain, but perhaps because of the first card, one of the things that comes to mind (and because of last drawing) is Elyse’s group, spending money on that. I’m actually curious as to whether I may have something left from the repairs check. Anyway: “embrace opportunities for growth, and take calculated risks” stands out. Investing in, and laying a foundation for, where it is I want go, the future I’m aiming for.
Meaning: Two of Wands signifies the need for planning, strategizing, and making decisions that will shape your future. It represents the initial stages of a new venture or project. The card suggests that you have a clear vision and a sense of personal power. It encourages you to step out of your comfort zone, embrace opportunities for growth, and take calculated risks. The Two of Wands brings a sense of confidence, ambition, and the potential for success.
Affirmation: I confidently make decisions that align with my long-term goals, knowing I have the power to create my desired future.
Nine of Cups:
Emotional focus. The “excessive indulgence” part has me worried about overspending again, which confuses me after the other messages I’ve gotten around already being financially stable and being encouraged to take risks (including a spending risk it seems). So could be two things: first, both could be true. That I am financially stable, I can invest in my goals and be okay…AND that I may also be overindulging, and that is something I should address. But, with the cups, from an emotional perspective. The point isn’t so much that I am putting myself at risk financially so much as it is that I’m attempting to get happiness and fulfillment from buying thing. The moderation would be meant to help me cultivate gratitude and drawn my fulfillment from better sources. Internal versus external. There is also the possibility that this is about finding happiness or fulfillment in people or other sources outside of myself, depending on them for that, but I think this may be more about my tendency to “get things” and the dopamine hit that gives me?
Meaning (reversed card): In reverse, Nine of Cups' meaning can indicate a temporary setback in experiencing emotional satisfaction or a tendency towards excessive indulgence or complacency. It may suggest a need to reassess your desires or to examine whether your pursuit of happiness is in alignment with your highest good. Reversed, the card advises you to reflect on any areas where you may be seeking fulfillment in external sources rather than nurturing your inner well-being. It encourages you to find balance, practice moderation, and focus on cultivating genuine and lasting happiness.
Affirmation: I am filled with gratitude and contentment, knowing that I deserve and attract all forms of abundance.

Best thing to focus on today
Published by Becky Menendez on
Ace of Cups:
Not entirely clear, but emotional significance, beginnings or start of a new chapter. Positive. Emotional openness, connection? Heightened intuition? I think if the experiences I had yesterday, the presence I felt today… the steps I’m taking or considering to connect with community, work with teachers… there’s joy and excitement and possibility in these things. There’s a possibility this might signify the start of emotional connection with … deity, land spirits, spirit in general? As that’s always been important to me.
Numerology: It is associated with the number 1. The number 1 in numerology is often seen as the number of creation and self-expression. It represents the energy of individuality and taking action to bring about new opportunities and possibilities. It signifies the power to manifest one's goals and desires through focused intention and determination.
Meaning: Ace of Cups signifies the beginning of a new emotional journey, the awakening of deep feelings, and the potential for love and emotional fulfillment. It represents a time of heightened intuition, creativity, and emotional openness. The card suggests that you are ready to embrace new emotional experiences, connect with others on a profound level, and experience a deep sense of joy and contentment. It encourages you to be receptive to love and compassion, and to allow your emotions to flow freely. The Ace of Cups brings a sense of emotional renewal, love, and the potential for deep emotional connections.
Four of Pentacles:
Wow, okay. Given that I’ve been worried about spending more money, whether that should stop me from signing up for Elyse’s group, and then especially after this vet bill (and if I use up too much of my contract money, will that leave me too vulnerable if my car breaks down or an emergency happens, etc.?). First thought? You’re hanging on tightly out of a desire for financial stability, and worried about taking any more risks. What you’re not seeing is that you already have financial stability, you’re okay. You can be secure and stable with what you have AND still be open to valuable opportunities. You are safe.
Meaning: Four of Pentacles signifies a need for security, stability, and control. It represents a desire to protect your material possessions, finances, or resources. The card suggests that you may be holding on tightly to what you have, seeking financial or emotional stability, or being cautious about taking risks. It encourages you to assess your relationship with money and possessions and find a balance between holding onto what you have and being open to new opportunities. The Four of Pentacles brings a sense of stability, protection, and the potential for financial security.
Affirmation: I am grounded and secure in my financial stability, and I welcome abundance into my life.
8 – Strength:
Again, this theme of self-doubt, the need to develop courage and resilience, confidence that I can handle what comes to me, to assert personal power. That’s where I need to grow. How would this translate into action? What would help take me in this direction today?
Affirmation: I have inner strength and courage to face any challenges that come my way.
Meaning (reversed card): In reverse, Strength suggests moments of self-doubt, lack of inner strength or resilience, and the need to cultivate courage and patience in the face of adversity. It may indicate a struggle with inner fears, feeling overwhelmed, or difficulties in asserting personal power. It calls for self-empowerment, nurturing of inner strength, and embracing the courage needed to face challenges with confidence and compassion.
