  • Tarot & Finance | Pentacles Financial Advisers | Spring Blog Hop

    Welcome to the Tarot Thrones contribution to the Spring Tarot Blog! Our wrangler for this hop is Ania Marczyk.  As we the end of the Financial Year is bearing down upon us at a rate of knots, Ania wants us to talk about Tarot and Finance.

    Since the Tarot Thrones blog is all about the Court Cards of the Tarot, I have opted to seek advice from the family that knows most about money, the Pentacles.
    After a short confab, the Pentacles family from The Morgan Greer Tarot have come up with these little nuggets of advice …

    Words in bold are associated with their rank 🙂

    Page of Pentacles

    Look at your money in a new way

    Start     saving – even small amounts

    Learn     about money (without your eyes glazing over) Financial literacy is too important to leave to other people to handle for you.

    Start     a financial diary!
    The Knight of Pentacles

    Financial risk-taking should err on the side of caution
    Explore your financial options
    What can you do re your telecoms, can you make savings?  (prompted by all that Airy communication energy!)
    The Queen of Pentacles
    Nurture your money – check your interest rates and change where possible.
    Get on top of your household budget
    Be a good guardian for your money – be alert to identity theft. You may not be actually out of pocket, but your credit rating can be adversely affected if someone gets access to your identity.
    Teach other people what you have learned about making your cash grow – your other half? Your kids? 
    The Queens have watery energy – Might you may be better off on a water meter rather than pay via rates?  Before you change, check to see whether you are permitted to change back if it turns out to be more spendy.
    The King of Pentacles

    He didn’t get to where he is today by being frivolous, no matter that those grapes make you think! 
    Pay off old debt – whenever you have cash materialising put it towards reducing your existing debts – mortgage, credit card, store cards etc.
    Get an expert advisor/adviser 
    (‘Parently -er is five times more commonly used than -or)  I’m hedging my bets – very Pentacly 🙂
    The Kings display Fire energy, so here,  The King asks you to take command of your fuel bills – can you change your supplier? We did it this month and are going to halve our monthly energy spend.
    The Fire energy also suggests that maybe you could quit smoking to save some cash AND care for that other, most vital of possessions – your health!
    And just before you go ….. M’new book 😀  Yes! It’s by ME!!!!

  • Tarot Queens | Mothers’ Day

    Last year’s Mother’s Day Tokens
    Still unspent!

    Originally Mothers’ Day was when people returned to their Mother Church.  These days, Mothers’ Day has become a Hallmark schmaltz-fest directed at Mothers everywhere.  In the UK we have Mothering Sunday on the 6th.

    Yes, we know that it’s all a big commercial CON, but woe betide the child who fails to proffer up SOMETHING.

    Sonshine is very partial to buying me mugs.  And the odd musical teddy-bear.  I am hopeful this year of a scented candle 🙂

    The tarot’s Queens are nurturers, guardians and teachers, but how do they mother!?

    Queen of Cups

    Loving. Verily, even in the face of slammed doors and crispy sports socks discovered beneath the bed.  The Queen of Cups represents those times when the temperature of your relationship with your offspring is in the desirable range – loving, caring, empathetic, understanding, friendly. BUT she can also be an emotionally manipulative Quine* if she doesn’t get her own way.

    Mother most likely to:  Keep every scrappily-coloured in heart and crayoned card you ever made for her.

    Queen of Swords

    This is Mrs Sensible Head.  She’s not terribly happy about going along with the Tooth Fairy DECEPTION and if you have a Queen of Swords mother, you will probably be the first in your group to find out that Santa Claus IS NOT REAL. Keen to engage you in philosophical conversation, questions such as ‘Where do dogs go when they die?’ and ‘Was Jesus a real person?’ are the stuff of LIFE to this Queen!!

    Mother most likely to:  Tell you that it’s ‘for your own good’, no matter what.  Bad Cop is a role she is prepared to embrace.  For your own good. Of course.

    Queen of Pentacles

    This Queen is everyone’s favourite aunty – she’s the BEST gift-giver and the comfort-food queen.  When you are ill, she makes you chicken soup and ensures that your pillows are plumped and your bedding is fresh.

    Mother most likely to:  Make you a Tracey Island Thunderbirds birthday cake. Even though you’re 40.  Because she knows that you’ve always wanted one.

    Queen of Wands

    This is the most conflicted Queen – her fiery and watery natures do not sit comfortably together and she can struggle to keep it all together.

    Too much emotional luffy-wuffy neediness seeping her way and she feels dragged down and restricted.  But too much fiery assertiveness can burn out any emotional connection to a frazzled shadow and she can seem like an emotionally cool or unavailable mother.

    The mother most likely to:  Not be able to articulate how much she loves you.  Even though she does.  Also, she may fail to kiss your knee to make it ‘all better’.  But she will take you on the most amazing adventures.

    Which one represents your style of mothering? Or your mother’s style of mothering?

    HAPPY MOTHERING SUNDAY WHEN IT COMES!
