Hello, Heartbeats! This week’s lovely reading features the Santa Muerte Tarot, our deck of the month here on Alteressence.com, honoring this time of year. If you like the cards in this reading and want to know more about them, you’ll find all three decks listed at the end of the post. Hoping that all the positivity of this reading manifests in our lives this week, let’s have a talk about inspiration, possibilities, and new ideals. 🌞
The Nine of Pentacles is a card of earthly culmination, the image of independent success. The material cycle goes through many stages until work becomes gain, and, apparently, as a collective, we are at a point where we have enough to be both pleased and expansive. Each level of material comfort brings about opportunities and choices, even when we’re not satisfied with our financial situation. Hopefully, this week, we’ll find it in our hearts to be grateful for what we already have, so that we and our lives can expand.
The Seven of Cups can sometimes symbolize illusions and being trapped in the process of choosing. However, the other cards don’t suggest anything of that kind, so, in this reading, the Seven of Cups opens the big buffet of life, lining up all sorts of options and opportunities. The choice is individual, and it can go either way, but, with the beautiful Star energy, there is a lot of hope and potential for wish fulfillment, and there’s the possibility of finding synergistic ways to combine two or more opportunities.
The advice cards accentuate the message.
Capricorn is a climber, a determined and disciplined conqueror of levels, a symbol of ambition. The New Moon in Capricorn is about aligning your emotions with big goals, so that you can constantly advance toward fulfilling them. Emotions can steer us off course, and in order to prevent that from happening, it’s best to focus on the task at hand. Being motivated and totally invested in the here and now, in every step of the climb to the summit, keeps emotions in check.
In this context, Sahaqiel makes me think of the saying “the sky is the limit.” The Angel of Sky is very protective. The atmosphere of Earth makes life on this planet possible and shields it from the vastness of cosmic inhospitality. Similarly, Sahaqiel represents boundaries that protect and inspire – high enough to leave room for comfort and ample movement, but also to make for an ideal and potentially a massive breakthrough.
All this being said, we can enjoy a practically inspired week – with our feet planted in the security of the earth and our minds open to the Divine.
