a difficult path

  

the moon + six of pentacles  

"One thing I want to assure them/ If they think I'm gonna change or compromise / My attitude or my way of life or / In  my expression or in my goal ... They are making me stronger / And I much more stronger now..."  -Femi Kuti, Nigerian-British Musician

A difficult path lies ahead, full of risky material wants and needs.  Today's card combination is a warning to a querent that s/he should slow down and be careful (The Moon).  This person got what they wished for, and now they must remember self-respect.  There's some confusion as this person follows their dreams, esp in regards to strings that are attached to a relationship (Six of Pentacles).  Bounty from this fulfilled wish is split between the querent and another person in this relationship, and our querent should not accept anything less than what they're expecting.  This querent should not try to curry favour or convince anybody that s/he is due a fair share.  Please do not do this.  Remember self-respect, and even if a fair distribution does not seem possible or likely, screw that:  Never lose faith in your own value.  Never accept less.

Since yesterday's reading was about someone collaboratively following their dreams, let's connect that taroscope with today. Our CREATIVE QUERENT is letting their subconscious take them to unfriendly places.  Because of a misunderstanding on the querent's part, this person is behaving submissively with collaborators (Three of Pentacles).  Please don't do this, especially with the distribution of assets.  Our querent must continue putting effort into their leadership role, because that's how progress will continue - rather than slowing down and becoming mired in risk and confusion.  You're the head honcho.  Now stay the head honcho.

Ending with a Yasiin Bey song about stubbornly staying true to yourself; about self-respect:

 

Today's cards are from the Latin Tarot tradition.
