Card One - Knight of Pentacles

The Knight of Pentacles represents a focused and diligent approach to work and responsibilities, as this card represents your week as a whole.

It suggests that you will be dedicated and committed to your tasks, taking a practical and structured approach to achieving your goals. This will be a week of hard work, perseverance, and attention to detail.

You may be working on long-term projects or seeking stability and security in your professional or financial life. You will be productive, and the energies may feel better since Mercury is now direct.

Card Two - Eight of Pentacles

The Eight of Pentacles represents skill development, craftsmanship, and dedication. It suggests that something unexpected will arise in the form of an opportunity to learn or master a new skill.

It could be a chance to enhance your knowledge or improve your existing abilities. Embrace this unexpected twist and use it as a stepping stone for personal and professional growth. This is a good thing!

Card Three - Five of Cups

The Five of Cups represents emotional disappointment and loss. To stay grounded and balanced, this card advises you to acknowledge and process any feelings of sadness or loss that may arise during the week.

It encourages you to find healthy ways to express and release these emotions; staying out of the kitchen is one way to do that if you are not hungry. It is always best to look for opportunities to move forward.

Card Four - The World

The World card symbolizes completion, fulfillment, and success. The important emotion you will feel this week is a sense of accomplishment and contentment.

You may experience a profound sense of achievement or reach a significant milestone in your personal or professional life. You will be filled with pride, satisfaction, and a deep understanding of your place in the world.

Card Five - Knight of Wands

The Knight of Wands represents passion, enthusiasm, and adventure. It suggests that something or someone will inspire you with their dynamic energy and boldness.

It could be a new idea, a creative project, or someone who embodies passion and determination. Allow this inspiration to fuel your passions and motivate you to pursue your goals enthusiastically.

Card Six - Six of Pentacles

The Six of Pentacles represents generosity, charity, and support. This card suggests that your spirit guides will communicate with you through acts of kindness and assistance from others.

Pay attention to the people around you who may offer guidance, support, or resources. Your spirit guides may also speak to you through a desire to give back and help others. Be open to giving and receiving help this week.

Card Seven - Lovers

The Lovers card represents love, harmony, and choices. To best support yourself this week, the Lovers card advises you to prioritize self-love and make choices that align with your values and desires.

Take time to nurture your relationships, both romantic and platonic. This card also reminds you to listen to your intuition and make decisions that bring you closer to your authentic self. Trust your instincts and choose what feels right for you.

Therefore, this will be a highly productive week for you. You may encounter disappointments, but don't let that set you off your plan.

Be sure to hang around those who will inspire you so you can stay motivated and get some ideas. Good luck with it all. If you would like a personal reading, you can head over to miriamreadstarot.com.
