Good day to all my curious and reflective readers. Today, we will look closely into the tarot cards drawn on Thursday, January 11th, 2024. It’s an interesting spread consisting of The Magician, the Queen of Wands, and the Three of Pentacles. Together, they make an intriguing blend of intrinsic magic, creative charisma, and acknowledged skills. Now let’s delve deep into their mystical world.
First, we have The Magician. In traditional tarot, the Magician signifies wisdom, skill, and concentration. His presence today speaks to us of our inherent abilities and talents. The Magician calls us to tap into our own magic, to harness the potential we already possess. It reminds me of a quote from stoic philosopher Seneca,
“You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
In the face of any situation, remember that you have the ability to create and manipulate your own reality using the resources you already possess.
Next, we meet the fiery Queen of Wands. Passionate, creative, and buoyant, she is a beckoning force of inspiration. As a stoic, you might be inclined to resist such potent emotions, but remember the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius when he said,
“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”
The Queen of Wands calls you to action with tenacity and strength. Use any obstacles as stepping stones, and utilize your creativity to transform them into opportunities.
Our journey concludes with the Three of Pentacles. A card that indicates collaboration, teamwork, and the recognition of skill. It embraces the stoic principle of focusing on things you can control such as your actions, thoughts and feelings, and encourages us to cultivate our skills. Epictetus once said,
“We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.”
The Three of Pentacles echoes this sentiment, teaching us the power of collaboration and appreciating the skills of others. Make use of this wisdom today, open your mind to learn from others and share your own knowledge to create a harmonious symbiosis.
