Balancing Generosity and Self-Care

Today's Cards

Today's Story

In a bustling marketplace, a merchant known for their generosity, symbolized by the [Six of Pentacles], distributed their wealth to those in need.

Their heart swelled with pride at the sight of grateful smiles, yet a gnawing sense of exhaustion lingered within.

The [Knight of Pentacles reversed] appeared as a reminder of their neglected fields, overgrown and untended, mirroring their own neglected needs and the imbalance between giving and receiving.

As the story unfolded, the [Four of Pentacles reversed] whispered of the importance of letting go of the fear of scarcity, encouraging the merchant to trust in the cycle of give and take.

Realizing the lesson, the merchant decided to take a day off to tend to their own garden, understanding that true abundance flows from a well that is replenished.
