The card of the day is the SEVEN OF COINS.

7 of pentacles

It’s time to lay your cards on the table and show the world the strategic hand you are about to play. Don’t waste any time waiting for a pat on the back, I know it’s a good hand and you deserve some praise for being clever, but you still have some work to do. Remember that you are competing with people who are just as accomplished as you are. Kenny Rogers’ had it right in his song the Gambler when he said, “You got to know when to show ’em, and know when to fold ’em”. Keep that in mind as you play your hand. Take a risk, but have a sound strategy to back it up. In the end, there is only going to be one winner. Will it be you?

temperance (11)

Balance. Moderation. Healing. Insight.

The human body is as strong as it is delicate. You need to listen to your body’s cues that are telling you when fine tuning is needed. Have you been over indulging in one of the necessary evils (refined sugar, salt, or poor quality fats)? Staying up late and waking up early? Drinking or smoking excessively? Trust me, you will not be able to keep this lifestyle up for long! Take the appearance of this card as a timely message: make the necessary changes and take it easy! The quickest way to wear yourself out is to move into high gear and stay there. The presence of the Temperance angel reminds you that it is time to slow things down and to create a space for solitude in order to regenerate. You need to strike a balance with what you eat and drink in order to feel better about yourself and your situation. If you start with the fundamentals of nutrition, you will gradually notice a very significant difference in your mental outlook on life.
