Ace of Pentacles

Ah, jeez, I'm about to go to bed and I almost forgot to do my tarot entry for the day. So this is a filler until I can come back to it tomorrow, when I've had a decent night's rest. Yeah! The lazy way out! Sorry, until the last few hours of my day, I really wasn't up to doing much of anything. Since no one reads this, I guess this is an apology to myself. Sorry, self.

Now it's tomorrow and I've slept, bathed, updated a few things on the internet, and had lots of tea. Yesterday I drew the Ace of Pentacles, which is of course the base card of the practical Pentacles suit. The Pentacles as a whole are the cards of comfort, finance, and the needs of the body, so I refer to it in my head as the body suit. Following that as a springpoint, it's easy to remember what the Ace of Pentacles represents. This can be summarized in the words practicality, material force, prosperity, and trust. When the ace shows up, it means that the seed of all these things has been planted in your life. It can be a sign that you can make your dreams real. Act practically, trust your allies, meet the needs of your body, and you will prosper. I like it.

This is a good thing. I've been aching to get a job lately, to have money to spend again. I admit it, I love spending money and surrounding myself with beautiful things, with things I enjoy. My computer is showing its age a lot lately, what with running veeeeerrrry slooooowly every time more than 5 images need to be loaded on a page, and I really really really want to get a new computer. I've been so limited lately by my lack of money that I've been terribly frustrated. At least it's tax season, so I'll have one source of guaranteed income soon. But anyway.

Yesterday I also sequestered myself from the internet for a while. I met my bodily needs instead, and after a long day of feeling trapped in the cycle of refresh, I began to feel a lot better, and even broke through this writer's block that's been keeping me trapped for the past week. I think that's part of what the Ace of Pentacles was about for me, yesterday. I'm also eating more, leaving the house more often, and trying very hard to take care of myself even when the idea of doing it seems like a waste of time. You've got to address the body before the mind can prosper, you know?

Anyway. As with every Ace, this card can point to opportunity. With all these cards of opportunity that I've been pulling, I wonder what's around the corner for me? Oh, I hope it's something good.
