WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 2024
“Dear sister, dear brother, do you want proof that God has touched your life? See if you can stoop to bind the wounds of others. Today is the day to ask, “Am I, who so often have received God’s peace, his mercy, merciful to others? Do I, who have so often been fed by the Body of Jesus, make any effort to relieve the hunger of the poor?” Let us not remain indifferent. Let us not live a one-way faith, a faith that receives but does not give, a faith that accepts the gift but does not give it in return. Having received mercy, let us now become merciful.”
Pope Francis

Do I relieve the hunger of the poor?

Bind their wounds?

Let me not remain indifferent.

Have a one-way faith.

Generously gifts others.

Be merciful.


Pentacles isn’t the kind of warrior you’d expect from a knight. He is meticulous, sensible, and dependable. This knight, who is never in a rush, takes his time. He walks so slowly that at times you wonder whether he’s moving at all.
He’s constantly busy, and he’s frequently engaged in a variety of activities outside of his daily work. He takes his job seriously and considers the big picture, which includes the things he has to accomplish to grow into the person he wants to be. He has trouble coping with sudden changes on occasion. He despises being caught off guard in any circumstance.
The characteristics of patience, honor, and reliability are symbolized by the Knight of Pentacles, and his presence in your spread may suggest that you, too, share these qualities. This individual enjoys regularity and efficiency and is a diligent worker. Another conventional interpretation is that he symbolizes a young man who will soon join your life as a trustworthy carrier of good news.
The Knight of Pentacles card places us in the midst of rolling, lush hills; the card’s purples and greens are both intriguing and lovely. Front and center, the knight rides a dark black horse with a crimson saddle and reigns. The horse is incredibly still – every other knight in every other suite is moving about, but the Knight of Pentacles and his horse are completely still. The knight is dressed in his best metal armor, with crimson accents on his clothes. He holds a pentacle in one hand, not moving it or presenting it, but holding it out so he may study it

This knight is a hardworking young man but he tends to let his job drive him to ruin. He is often assigned work that is sluggish and unsatisfactory, yet he is determined to complete every tedious task that comes his way. His dedication is commendable, but he tends to get too preoccupied with little things.
He’ll be the one finishing up one of his tedious projects, only to put it off until he figures out what font to use for his paper… which will take him an hour or two. He’s a realist, but he can be a genuine downer when it comes to your aspirations and goals – he’ll be the first to scoff at them. He’s worked hard to get where he is, but now that he’s there, he’s unlikely to want to leave – he won’t be searching for adventure any time soon.
If You Exist, It Means The Universe Thinks You Deserve To
This card offers both advice and caution: seek refinement in the good areas he symbolizes, but stay away from his bad elements at all costs. While you should praise his hard effort, be wary of his propensity for frequently overworking, for little or no pay. Get thrilled rather than obsessed as obsession is a drive that may hurt you in the long run, while enthusiasm will always benefit you. Finally, be grounded but don’t be afraid to attempt a new experience or two.
When you encounter the Knight of Pentacles in your readings, ask yourself these questions. What part of the knight’s energy is beneficial, and what part is harmful? What aspects of the knight do you recognize in yourself? Are you a cautious and cautious person? Are you a dedicated and hardworking individual? What actions might you take to create a positive change in your life?
What Knight of Pentacles Means for You Today
The Knight of Pentacles has appeared today to encourage you to know your worth and, at least for right now, let life come to you. There are times to take big action and there are times to wait for the universe to deliver what you need. The Knight of Pentacles is an indication that now is a good time to sit still and stay where you are at. Don’t chase after a specific outcome right now, things are happening behind the scenes and the universe is arranging things in your favor. Trust in divine timing.

The Crystal card is a potent symbol of the unknown becoming known, of the fog of confusion dispersing to reveal the lucid and clear reality of a situation. This card indicates that a period of understanding and enlightenment is on the horizon, and it suggests that you will discover clarity and insight about something that has hitherto been obscured or complex. As a Moon Card, it also signals transitions and evokes the ebb and flow of life’s many phases.

the-crystal

In the compelling image on this card, a woman gently levitates a large, shining purple crystal between her open hands. She stands in a gorge, framed by the rugged, resilient beauty of nature. Amid the rocks, delicate white blooms of flowers spread, a poignant reminder of the life and growth that can flourish even in seemingly inhospitable environments. This woman, consciously working with the energies of the crystal under the night sky, offers herself as a conduit for knowledge and wisdom. The gleaming crystal signifies the focal point, the essence of a situation that she’s trying to unravel and comprehend. The woman’s lunar crown symbolizes her connection with the cycles of the moon, suggesting the power of patience and timing in the process of ushering in a new chapter.

Every aspect of this card speaks to the illumination of truth and the promise of a new beginning. The woman’s serene expression suggests solid faith in her powers of discernment, even when circumstances seem chaotic or uncertain.
Similar to the way a master gem cutter shapes a rough crystal into a brilliant gem, the Crystal card encourages you to shape your reality by gaining understanding and perception about your situation. The psychedelic purple hue of the crystal represents the spiritual plane where wisdom, energy, and mystery converge. The crystal’s spiritual potential invites you to explore the depths of your situation, abiding not within the superfluous surfaces but delving deeper into the core essence.

Release the Old, Welcome the New

The Crystal card invites you to reflect on the dormant knowledge and deep insights that you have within you, and to bring them to the fore to assist you in navigating the path that lies ahead. It encourages us to trust in our inner wisdom. Even though it may seem challenging at times, it is essential to release old habits, beliefs, and fears in order to fully embrace the new chapter that’s about to manifest.
Take a moment to ask yourself: Is there something in your life that needs clarity? Is there a situation that you’ve been struggling with, where your emotions or preconceived notions have clouded your understanding? Do you feel ready to step out of the past and into a new chapter of your life? Are you open to receiving insights and facing the truth, even if it might momentarily unsettle you?

What The Crystal Means for You Today

The Crystal card has materialized today to assure you that an era of clarity and truth is imminent. Regardless of how complicated or overwhelming your current predicament may seem, you are astoundingly close to understanding it more profoundly. With this clarity, you will be able to navigate and ultimately resolve the situation with more ease and precision. Take this opportunity to tap into your inner wisdom and allow it to guide you towards the next groundbreaking chapter in your life. Embrace the enlightening energy of the Crystal and trust in the process, knowing that all the answers that you seek are within your reach.

For today, temperance and balance are my goals…

temperance


The Temperance card is all about balance and moderation and is an important reminder for people to prioritize their health, especially if they are struggling with addiction or depression, and this can include more formal treatment options like rehab or therapy. While we often associate addiction with drugs or alcohol, many people are addicted to social media, online-games, in-app purchases, gambling, or even shopping – anything that interferes with a normal, balanced life. Medical professionals can provide wonderful support and assistance to anyone who is struggling.
Rehabilitation for those in need can take many forms and can be affordable. There are many kinds of rehab centers and treatment programs, ranging from residential rehab to local community outpatient treatments and addiction counseling. Professional help and support, whether from doctors, support staff, or other clinical experts has a wide range of benefits.
With one foot on the ground and the other in the water, an angel stands over a pond, pouring water into two cups. The angel is at ease in both the waking and subconscious realms. She is juggling two opposing poles: material and spiritual, and wonders which one she must give up for the for the sake of the other. This is the still point that restores harmony to the universe.
Temperance is an upbeat card that urges you to achieve harmony and balance in your life and to tackle difficulties with patience and serenity. It understands that conflicting forces inside you do not have to be at odds. Make any important choices with caution, knowing that excellent decisions will lead to a positive outcome for you. Moderation and self-control may help you handle problems in your life.
Patience, self-control, and calmness are all blessings on offer from the Temperance card. This card implies that if you have lately had tough circumstances, you will soon feel calmer and be able to deal with the situation better. You have a good sense of how to handle life and can bring disparate parts together to create a better whole. However, Temperance reminds you of the need for restraint and balance.

On the face of the Temperance card, we see an angel floating just above the earth on the cover of Temperance. She attempts to establish equilibrium by pouring one cup of water into the other. We can also observe that she has one foot on the land and the other in the water, indicating that she is attempting to attain behavioural balance.
Balance is Your Key to Success
Temperance is the card of balance, and its message is to seek equilibrium. The card does not indicate whether the angel will be successful in achieving balance between his two cups, but it does indicate that she is attempting to do so. Another meaning of this card is the necessity to join forces or combine thoughts and materials in order for anything to succeed – the angel can only balance the cups by mixing the water in them.
When you draw the Temperance card, you are being asked to evaluate what you need to create balance and harmony in your life. Do you need to restrain yourself from making hasty decisions? Are you in need of motivation? What must occur in order for you to achieve a state of centeredness? Is there a part of your life where you’re creating this discord? Examine your personal connections, job, and previous activities to see if you can achieve the balance that Temperance encourages you to find.
What Temperance Means for You Today
The Temperance card has shown up for you today to encourage you to seek a proper balance in your life. Whether you’re struggling to balance work and home life, or to balance your responsibilities against your desire to have some fun, it’s never easy being pulled in many different directions at once. Temperance reassures you that it is possible to find an equilibrium which works for you, emotionally as well as in terms of everyday practicalities. Do something positive today towards finding that balance – today’s first small step is the beginning of your journey towards Temperance.
