Today’s daily tarot reading turns up the Six of Pentacles, which brings a message of balance, equality and the importance of generosity.
I have the feeling that most people reading this are very good at showing generosity to others and wouldn’t hesitate to help a friend in need. But how do you feel about accepting help from others? What about accepting compliments?
Today is all about graciously accepting help and kindness from others. You know how good it feels to do something nice for someone, so do someone the favor of letting them do something nice for you!
On a different note, I feel that the Six of Pentacles speaks of the need to balance finances. Don’t be reckless with your spending this today and make sure that your inflow and outflow of money is nicely balanced.

You have an uncanny ability today to cut through the things that hold you back. Self doubt, fear, worry – all of these things can be overcome today. So what would you do right now if you knew you could not fail?

The Queen of Cups Tarot card, this one is from the Paulina Tarot, comes today to remind you that your dreams are waiting patiently inside of you, wanting to come out!
If you often find yourself wondering if something is possible, the Queen of Cups would tell you that you need not wonder if, but how you can bring something into reality.
All possibilities are already inside of you. It’s up to you to decide which ones you are going to “give birth to” or manifest. It is a matter of opening your mind to what you believe is possible and then consciously aligning yourself with your dream.
Life Coaching Activity
Here is a fun activity to help you get started on mapping out your dreams and creating realistic pathways and inroads in your life to help you get there! For this you will need: colored pens and a large piece of paper (or two regular sized sheets of paper taped together to form a long, rectangular piece).
On the left side of your sheet of paper, write a vertical list of what elements make up your life right now. This could be your job, daily activities, hobbies – basically what you do in an average week. My Life Now:
___________________________
___________________________
___________________________
___________________________
On the far right side of the paper you write your dreams. You can be totally free and creative here – you don’t need to be realistic. Just list the elements of your ideal life! Sometimes it can be fun to draw little pictures beside each dream. My Dreams….
__________________________

In the center of the paper, draw a big heart (or globe) in this you will brainstorm all your positive qualities– your gifts, talents, learned skills, likeable traits, etc.
Now, in the space between the heart and your dreams, write down how you would like your life to be like one year from now. You should be somewhat realistic here – only write down things that you believe will be achievable in one year. My Life in One Year:
___________________________
___________________________
___________________________
___________________________
In the space between your life now and the heart, write down 5 small steps you will take in the next couple of months in order to move closer to your one year goal. Underneath this, make a list of all the people that will help you on your path (such as friends, teachers, mentors, family).
You can put this up on your wall or fridge, or tuck it away and peek at it every now and then. You will surprised how quickly some of your goals manifest after writing them down like this!
Today’s Tarot card is the Five of Wands, a card of minor struggles, squabbles and healthy competition.
You may feel more tempted than usual today to disagree with people, try to prove yourself right or instigate arguments. If you can, try to resist!
This card also refers to inner struggle between different aspects of yourself. You may find that you feel like lounging on the couch all evening, while your more industrious side thinks you should finish a project, or do chores. Or your rational side may squabble with your more emotional side when it comes to decision making.
Whatever it is that you experience today, it will help you to develop a healthy sense of humor about it. Learn to laugh at your ego and see the lighter side of a situation. Remember what is important to you and focus your attention on creating harmony and cooperation in your life.
This card is from the Osho Zen Tarot to remind us that we all find ourselves clinging to the past from time to time. However, sometimes we do this subconsciously without really realizing how we are creating unhappiness for ourselves.
Today you will have the chance to catch yourself doing this and to really question your mind and its silly behavior. You might catch yourself re-hashing a conversation you had with someone or feeling vexed about some old disagreement or wrongdoing.
You may be able to laugh at your mind or ego, especially when you realize it is creating stress for you when in reality, there is nothing to get upset about. It’s in the past!
Today, pay special attention to how often you think about the past and ask yourself why. Do you have unfinished business? If so, what can you do today so that you can move forward in your life? When we cling to the past we miss out on the present moment – which is where all the awesomeness is!!!
