Seven of Pentacles

Imagery: A man rests on his hoe, looking at the bush he has been tending. 

The man is assessing the condition of the bush. He is deciding if the results of his efforts have been worthwhile or whether he needs to do something differently to get better results.

Eight of Cups

Imagery: Eight upright cups are neatly stacked in the foreground. A figure is seen walking away from these cups. In the sky, two phases of the moon can be seen.

The figure is walking away from these perfectly good cups because they no longer meet his needs. There’s nothing wrong with the cups, but he needs something different now. The moon phases remind us that everything moves in cycles.

This combination of cards is about looking at your life with a fresh perspective and deciding what, if anything, needs to change.

This month watch your activities. Examine how you spend your time. Are you doing things that bring you joy? Or are you doing them just because you’ve always done them or perhaps because people expect you to do them? As best you can, eliminate the activities that don’t make you happy. Focus on rewarding projects and happy-making pursuits. This includes taking time to sit back and just breathe.

Key Thoughts for December:
Assess, change, eliminate, breathe

Be Blessed!
