The Seven of Pentacles - Reversed…

The fall season moves through our lives so quickly, so I thought I’d ask my deck how we might best embrace and enjoy it. Hard work has been on the agenda and you may have faced some deadlines, but how much of this is internally imposed? Yes, this is a season about Harvest, but you can also take a pause to really indulge in the magic of the season. Is there a place that you can escape to where you might free yourself from obligations for just an hour or two? A place that promises to invigorate and inspire you in a very autumnal way? Yes - pumpkin patches and apple orchards count, but maybe there’s something even more specifically suited for you. I plan to set aside a few hours and take a walk through the Central Park Mall and visit the Bethesda Fountain, hoping that the crisp air and fall colors will whisper their hidden messages to me as I journey through the park. What can you devote yourself to that is just for your own fall enjoyment in the next few weeks?
