❤️ In Love and Relationships

The combination of The Star and Five of Pentacles in a love reading is deeply revealing.

🌑 Shadow Work

No reading is complete without looking at our darkness. These are the uncomfortable questions you must ask yourself today:

  • The Star: How am I using optimism as a way to disconnect from my present reality? To what extent have I lost faith in myself and projected it into a distant and unattainable future?
  • Five of Pentacles: Am I using my hardship as a way to avoid taking responsibility for my own growth? Do I believe that suffering makes me more "spiritual" or "worthy" of attention?
