Today’s Oracle card pull is “To You the Earth Yields Her Fruit” from The Prophet oracle card deck. This deck features Kahlil Gibran’s own paintings and this one is very evocative. The up-reaching hand looks like a flame, or is it dripping blood? It depends on your point of view.
I’ve been struggling mood-wise lately, so my intention when choosing a card was “what do I need to know?”. The book for this card uses these words from Gibran:
To you the earth yields her fruit, and you shall not want if you but know how to fill your hands.
It is in exchanging the gifts of the earth that you shall find abundance and be satisfied.
Yet unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some to greed and others to hunger.
This has very strong Empress, King of Pentacles, and Queen of Pentacles energy, doesn’t it? The exchange part is important. What am I giving or sending out? The last two weeks were very busy, even hectic and stressful at times, and I admit to feeling that I didn’t get a good exchange for all of my work. I put in far more hours than I was able to charge for due to some issues with clients and I wasn’t feeling a lot of love or kindly justice either!
Personally, I’m taking this as a reminder that it is OK to do some things for free, but my heart needs to be all in for the exchange. Perhaps charging full price, but giving a discount would have been better. But (and I’m giving myself a shake here) this is intended for the coming week, so I need to read it as a gentle reminder that the exchange works both ways and not to devalue my work unless my heart is in it.
How do you see this card? How can you apply it?
What Clients are Saying about Sophrosyne Tarot
I was advised to ask open-ended questions instead of predictive questions which I thought was helpful because I never would have known if it weren’t for the reader. The reader provided the reading along with some advice too so the entire reading was very thorough and explained in an understandable manner.
Everything said was accurate and helpful for me to identify my flaws in order to grow as a person. I have learned a lot about tarot and what it does to help me.
