5 of Disks (Pentacles), Knight of Wands, Knight of Disks (Pentacles)

You tend to isolate yourself from others and focus on worries that are not always founded.  The passion that serves you well most of the time, often leads you into impulsive decisions when you do not take care to channel it positively.  You can only overcome this through concentrated effort to be mindful of your thoughts and actions.

A new beginning is on the horizon – one that may lead to spiritual and/or financial prosperity. You must pay close attention, as it may be easily mistaken for something else and so overlooked.  You may also find that you are hesitant to take a chance on the opportunity but courage will see you through to success.  Be resistant to any feelings of discouragement that find you, as they are only temporary.  Keep your eye on the bigger picture and you find fortune in this new opportunity.

17. That which I do, is that which will come back to me. How can I remember to always keep this in mind?

Prince of Wands, The Judgement, 9 of Wands

While you are passionate and intense, you are also impulsive whenever your emotions are involved.  You must remember your own goals and stay true to them.  Your strength and courage is the best way to resist the temptation to impulsivity that may cause trouble for you later.

16. Fears flourish within the darkness, what is it that my fears have to reveal to me?

The Hierophant, 7 of Cups, 3 of Cups

Your fears show that you are highly attuned to the more traditional things in your life – family, marriage, etc.  You worry that you have overestimated yourself and that you are being misguided by illusions of what you desire.  While the concern that you are overdoing things is valid, you have found that the path you are on is creating a sense of fulfillment that you have not felt in quite some time. Take some time to contemplate the reasons for what you are doing and make sure that you are being honest with yourself about your intentions.

Maintain control and continue to focus on moving forward, beyond the pain of the past.  Strive to find a point of balance that uses the lessons learned from the past without becoming overly embittered by the pain that was caused.  Remember that all pain can be a catalyst for growth and betterment.  Remember to actively seek out support and encouragement from loved ones as you are healing.
