Good morning!
Before I get into today's reading I want to send a big Thank You out to those who have backed the Wise Dog (my latest project) - if you love my art and love dogs check out this new deck! Here is the link
There is an electricity in the air that is building and if you harness it - well good things are sure to come out of it - its time to work a little magic!
The crow sits in her comfortable roost - one that she constructed with much planning and preparation. This perfect spot did not simply appear in her life - she created it, pulling each pentacle into place and in doing so she set up a foundation for a stable future.
The Seven of Pentacles is serving as the foundation for your current situation. If you are in a good stable place right now it is because of the work and dedication you put into the situation. Your investment has paid off in that you have created a strong foundation to build upon. If you are feeling less secure in your current situation than you would like this may be due to a lack of motivation or action - how much effort have you truly committed?
The crow rises into the air with grace and inner-strength. Using its beak it pulls towards it a bolt of lightning and combines the elements of earth, fire, air, and water to create a powerful transformative energy - one, when harnessed, has the potential to bring to life any desire.
At the center of today's reading is the Magician and in the air is a strong energy that supports manifesting your dreams, however, the spellwork needs to be done. This is the perfect time to get clear on what you want, set your intention and get working on developing the energy within you so that you attract the opportunity that when acted upon will create the thing you desire. This is a seize the day moment - as luck and opportunity collide.
With the Seven of Pentacles sitting in the past position you have either created the perfect atmosphere for inviting the energy of the Magician in - or you know what needs to be done, and know the steps required of you in order to utilize the magic of the Magician.
This is a fast moving energy and when you take advantage of this time - with the Four of Wands sitting next to the Magician a celebration will be the result.
The crows gather in a beautiful abundant garden to celebrate a significant milestone - this will be a party that lives in the memory for a long time as it proved to be far more enjoyable than expected.
If ever there was a card you would want to pop up after the Magician its the Four of Wands because this means that your actions will lead to something big - something worth celebrating. That opportunity you manifested will be beyond your wildest dreams - it will be asking the server at a restaurant for a bowl of vanilla ice cream and instead, he or she brings you a sundae with the works and cherry on top at no charge and maybe some sparklers in it just so you know how special it is!
The key here is to create a strong foundation - prepare for what you want - get into the mindset of already having it. Know in your heart that it already exists - you just need to do the work to get it and that is where the Magician will come in and supply you with the needed electricity that will pull together the components needed for you to achieve your goal - it will be by your action that will set into motion events that will lead to great celebration.
Are you ready to do some magic?
"Creativity is an energy. It's a precious energy, and it's something to be protected. A lot of people take for granted that they're a creative person, but I know from experience, feeling it in myself, it is a magic; it is an energy. And it can't be taken for granted." ~Ava DuVernay
Peace!
