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

  • The Hierophant: What old beliefs am I following just out of tradition, even though they no longer resonate with my truth? To what external authority am I giving my personal power?
  • Nine of Pentacles: Am I using physical luxury to mask an internal emptiness? Do I fear being close to others because I believe it will threaten my independence and sovereignty?
