Tarot Reading - April 24th, 2024

Hello fellow seekers! For today’s reading, we’re going to venture into a regal territory. Our theme for this Wednesday is “Chasing our ideal self.” We have the Knight of Pentacles, King of Wands and Queen of Wands accompanying us today.

First off, let’s take a close look at the Knight of Pentacles. A dedicated and hardworking soul, this knight shows us the value of diligence and perseverance. The seeds are planted, and our knight understands that nurturing takes time. Stoic philosopher Epictetus once stated:

“No great thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time.”

The Knight of Pentacles echoes that sentiment. They call upon you to be patient, consistent and maintain a steady pace. Success may not occur overnight, but the fruits of your labour will certainly ripen with time.

Now to our second card - the fiery King of Wands. This is not a monarch of passivity, but of action. This king embodies the spirit of leadership, creativity, and charisma. As Marcus Aurelius once wisely observed:

“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.”

The King of Wands invites you to seize the reins of your life with gusto, to tap into your creative spirit and lead with vision in whatever you do. There is no room here for self-doubt or second-guessing; tap into your intuitive sense of direction, and you will find your path.

Our final companion of the day is the Queen of Wands. The Queen calls upon the ardor of the wands and blends it with her nurturing nature. She is a beacon of enchanting enthusiasm and bold passion. Trust her as she whispers –

“You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” (Marcus Aurelius)

The Queen of Wands calls us not only to generate enthusiasm and passion but to direct it purposefully - harness your energy and direct it towards your goals – there lies your strength.

In today’s trio of royals and their knight, you are being called to be persistent, to channel your leadership qualities, to ignite and purposefully direct your passion. Embrace the stoic philosophy of understanding that all greatness takes time, that your thoughts guide the action, and that your personal power can be found in the passion you purposefully apply to your goals.

Today’s tarot reading encourages us all to reflect, journal, and dive deeper into our understanding of ourselves. As we move through this Wednesday, let’s ask ourselves this:

Journaling prompt:

Reflecting on the qualities of the Knight of Pentacles, King of Wands and Queen of Wands: Where in my life do I need to be more patient? Where am I being called to lead? Where should I aim my passion and energy more purposefully?
