This week’s card points to the gentle energy of early love, specifically the tenderness and respect that is more than physical sensuality.

This week’s Tarot card is a fierce friend who comes to remind you of your strength. If your cause is noble, assert your courage. Be as ready as you can and then defend what you know is right.

Re-prioritizing our needs and our material comforts is at a critical juncture this week. Now is the time to discover and honor what rich abundance really means to us. For there are benevolent influences that offer assistance as we consider what home, security, and the principles of a mothering unconditional love mean to us.

This week we’re reminded all of us are Nature’s beloved children—every race, every nation, every gender, and every species, not just humans.

This week, after two consecutive visits from the Seven of Pentacles, this earthy suit is not finished with us yet. But its current representative is likely to be a tangible, real person in our world. Maybe it’s you?

In a fairly rare event for my Card of the Week, our card from last week returns with an encore engagement. Clearly, the message from this card is important and carries on this week. We are given a second chance to stop, consider, and then prepare for the results of our labors to pay off.
