Queen of Pentacles…
The Queen of Pentacles - Art by Cathy McClelland from The Star Tarot
Our queen keeps popping out of the deck, reassuring us that revitalization is on our horizon. However, I think we need to lay low and take it one step at a time. Luxuriate, but do it in a way that is restorative for you. Hibernation is encouraged, but how can you make the most of your internal retreat? In your solitude, do what makes you feel gorgeous and full. It may feel indulgent to withdraw in a way that fulfills you, but indulgence is recommended. Start small - a cup of hot chocolate, a warm bath with calming music, time alone to dream on your year ahead….maybe purchase a few new things for your home - if they are things that you feel like you “shouldn’t splurge on”, that is the sure sign it’s time to splurge! Treat yourself slowly to the joys you have most been missing - treat yourself like a queen. And know that she is watching over you - waiting for the right time to usher in a new period of growth, opulence and splendor. A renaissance is impending. You must be ready to accept the rewards that you have earned. You must embrace the abundance you harbor within. Hibernation is regeneration.
