Feels like a dance between discernment and devotion. Navigating tension between holding it all together (2 of P) & allowing yourself to receive the joy & abundance I’ve worked so hard for (10 & 9 of Pentacles). The Queen says: do it with clarity, don’t be afraid to cut away what no longer serves.

I love this for me! Strength as the foundation, the Sun radiating clarity, the King of Wands embodying bold leadership, and the Eight of Wands bringing swift movement. I’m stepping into a moment of alignment and forward motion. Going out. Actually having lunch with a significant colleague✨
