My Tarot draw for the day.

I understand the Past and the Current Influence. The Suggested action and Expected Outcome also make sense, though for this deck the Two of swords ⚔️ is indicated as overprotective

And stunting of growth WHICH now that I write it down I understand much better than just reading it ... Oh

*bites lip* I think I need to bring in some energy from either the Ace of wands, or the Two of pentacles, or perhaps both. Fortunately I have symbols for both of those to remind me.

Coins.

coins, also known as pentacles, are associated with materialism, earth, wealth and physicality.

this suit speaks of material matters and physical issues, like attachments to objects for an example, some may say it handles "earthly matters", the opposite of spiritual matters, meaning it'll often represent your issues with things like finances as another example.

just like any suit, coins has cards numbered ace(1) through 10, page, knight, queen and king.

other coin or pentacles associated things include but are not limited to: manifestation, realization, proof and prosperity, resilience, responsibility and/or reliability, stability, wealth, and security.

its very common for coins to talk about your career and financial stability in spread readings, so if you have questions about those things dont be too surprised if you pull a card from the suit of coins.

the suit of pentacles or coins is connected to winter and earth, common colours in the suit includes gold/yellow, white, brown/black and green though this may vary depending on the deck and the art as different artists and minds have different interpretations.

common imagery in the suit of coins includes of course, coins, pentacles/an upside down facing five pointed star inside a circle (rite side up if its a pentagram). the suit tends to show a young person and greenery in its imagery.

the suit of coins, along with being called the suit of pentacles, is also referred to as the suit of disks, rings, and diamonds and is classified as the merchants suit.

Got a LOT done on the Six of Pentacles today! These two doggos are really sweet...and their human is an amazing photographer so we had lots of beautiful photos to reference.
