Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: LBuffy The Vampire Slayer Tarot Deck and Guidebook, written by Casey Gilly, illustrated by Karl James Mountford, and published by Insight Editions

Card: Six (6) of Pentacles

The week ahead is liable to offer opportunities to both express and receive kindness and generosity of spirit. Whether the situation involves finance or an investment of time or emotion, the underlying energy of the week indicates the need to be open to not only helping others but also accepting help when it is needed & offered. Gratitude seems to be the underlying note of the week.

In contrast, it may be time to make some changes in where one’s energies are directed. This may be especially true as it applies to which philanthropic causes to support, but particularly in individual cases where past support feels like it was taken for granted.
