Balancing Generosity with Personal Growth

Today's Cards

Today's Story

Once upon a time, in a bustling village, there was a kind merchant known for his generosity.

Every market day, he would stand at the heart of the village, distributing coins and goods to those in need, as symbolized by the [Six of Pentacles].

His actions brought joy and relief to many, yet deep inside, he felt an unease, a whisper that his own garden was left unattended.

The [Seven of Pentacles] appeared in his dreams, showing him a field of half-grown crops, urging him to reflect on the fruits of his labor.

Was his generosity at the expense of his own growth? The dream left him pondering until he encountered a traveler who carried the wisdom of the [Four of Pentacles reversed].

The traveler spoke of the freedom found in releasing too tight a grip on one's possessions and the importance of investing in one's own development.

Inspired, the merchant decided to allocate time each day to nurture his own garden, understanding that true generosity includes sharing the abundance of one's own well-tended life.
