6 of Pentacles (Reversed) – The Inequity of One-Sided Charity

The Reading

Today’s theme revolves around the imbalance and inequity of one-sided charity, encapsulated by the reversed 6 of Pentacles card. It’s a topic I often find myself wrestling with, and I’m sure many of you can relate. We, empathetic souls with hearts of service, often struggle to avoid the pitfall of unbalanced giving.

It’s all too easy to fall into a pattern where others come to expect our continuous generosity without offering anything in return, whether they’re aware of it or not. As a result, this dynamic creates an inequity that can shift the power dynamics in our relationships. The power lies in these unspoken expectations.

So, as you navigate your day, I challenge you to take a moment to reflect on your relationships. Are you inadvertently setting up an unbalanced dynamic where someone expects you to give without receiving anything in return? I’m not referring to a simple thank you or words of appreciation, but rather consistent actions that help to rectify the imbalance and inequity of one-sided charity.

Our relationships are delicate and can be fickle if we don’t nurture them properly. Let’s make an effort to give them the care and attention they truly deserve.

With warm regards, Maggie

Two of Wands (Upright) – Rediscovering Dreams: Embracing Passion and Ambition on the Journey of Self-Discovery

The Reading

What do you dream of becoming when you grow up? As for me, I’m still on that journey of self-discovery. It’s funny how our enthusiasm as seven-year-olds for various professions can change over the years. Yet, I began to mute my passions and aspirations somewhere along the way. Particularly, I believe, it was out of fear of being ridiculed for failure after being too vocal about my dreams. If you had told me just three years ago that I’d be reading Tarot, not only for myself but for real people, I would have probably laughed, added a sarcastic comment, and dismissed the idea entirely. Yet, deep inside, I would have been awed and endlessly curious.

But you know what? I quietly started reading Tarot, first for close family and friends and then for the public. Feeling like an impostor is natural when you’re just starting out. However, the key is that I began. The upright Two of Wands encourages us to rediscover our enthusiasm, empower ourselves to pursue long-term goals and seize opportunities. Add a dash of ambition, and the possibilities become boundless.

With determination and the proper perspective, we can all embark on our unique journeys of self-discovery and growth.

With love and awe, Maggie
