Monday 2nd September 2019: Ace of Pentacles

The Ace of Pentacles is always a welcome arcana! I have previously drawn attention to the lily and the rose which symbolize the unconditional love and fecundity that is offered through the arcana of the (3) Empress, whose presence is felt this week in the arcana of (11) Strength through the sky-blue dress of the woman, who as Virgo, tames and redirects the fiery rage of Leo into a golden harvest.

We are therefore invited to open ourselves to the presence of our feminine side so as to direct and manifest the material potential of our projects with confidence and energy and to do so in the spirit of love; loving, that is, the leonine side of ourselves and balancing and directing it to useful purposes to realize the promise of the potential locked up in the Ace of Pentacles.
