Card reading for 3/26/2019. Today's reading is speaking of our higher spiritual pursuits and that perhaps it's time to take things "up" a notch. The King of Pentacles represents achievement and comfort on the material plane. The 4 of Cups says to me that material comfort and achievement no longer satisfies. (Note: I do not like the illustration in this deck for the 4 of Cups as it feels more sinister than the 4 of Cups actually is. The 4 of Cups does speak of apathy, boredom, and at its worst, greed. However, I see this card as dissatisfaction with material "stuff" and a search for more meaning.) The 6 of Pentacles is our answer here and it speaks of gratitude and giving back. What can you give? Your time? Your energy? Can you listen to a friend in need? What about your creativity? If you have it, your money? What about simply your smile? This can go a long way. We all have something to share. Sharing what you are bountiful in is not just a thing you do in life to feel good. It is your purpose and duty to do so. Mankind needs more kindness right now and to better understand selfless giving. The lesson in the 6 of Pentacles is recognizing your bounty and sharing it with others. In other words, practicing gratitude. When we are grateful, truly grateful, we are in a state of love and in a pure state of love, we share easily, without second thought, because we know the Universe is infinitely abundant. Lack and dissatisfaction with circumstances comes from fear. Find a way to switch to love by practicing gratitude. Start small if you must. Maybe you are simply having a good hair day and it makes you feel pretty (or handsome.) Share your smile. When you are able to find this place of gratitude, think about all that you have in abundance and simply share it. That's where we find deeper satisfaction in our lives. Seems simple, maybe, but the Universe keeps it simple. It is us who overcomplicate things.

Namaste 💜
