The card of the day is the ACE OF WANDS.

The appearance of this card tells me you have new energy at your disposal that is lighting a fire under your butt.  I know, you have a to-do list a mile long and the only thing you can think is that I want all of this done NOW so I can spend some time with this new idea. My question for you is: Are you clear about the what, when, how, and where of directing this new-found energy? It is important to recognize that this force is in its infancy and will need a lot of support to grow into something tangible.

My advice is to tend to your ideas like you are caring for a newborn baby: by being gentle, applying TLC, and by guiding and supporting this new growth.

Since you are at the beginning, it might be wise to create a sequence for getting your work done. Have a calendar handy? Make sure you pencil in what is you want to get done today that is directly related to this new idea. Have an idea you are not sure what to do with? Maybe you should bounce your ideas off a friend who is known to motivate.

Cultivate your ideas with care and don’t be scared of doing something wrong. Nothing will be ruined, you are at the beginning, just apply the energy and see where it takes you. Let your intuition be your guide, it will lead you in the right direction every time.

Have an idea you are bringing to fruition? Already been applying TLC to get your idea off the ground? Let us know how YOU do it in the comments section. Forums are great for support and brainstorming!

8 of Coins (11)

You have a skill that you are currently putting to good use. In fact, if you aren’t already, you could be making money from this skill, but to see any real financial success, you will need to get organized and get your information out there.

Don’t hang around waiting for people to notice who you are – start networking today and TELL them! If you are an artist (or someone who offers any type of service from bowling lessons to naturopathic medicine), there is a business side that you really need to know about to market yourself effectively. Don’t worry, this will not require a business degree! Take advantage of the freebies: blogs are a wonderful place to get free business advise, so be sure to start to there.

This card urges you to network, to promote yourself, and to use all of the resources that are available to you. These days, the Internet is chock-full of people waiting to connect with who are just like you, so be sure to take advantage of the collective insight via social media and take advantage of all of the free marketing tools!
