More than Money: Rereading Tarot's Pentacles
How did this suit about discipline, patience, labor, and stability get reduced to money?
Well, it's sort of a reflex. In a climate of scarcity, especially during a time of inflation and recession, we must find money.
It's true that Pentacles are often where money resides in a quotidian way. Yet the Pentacles speak to more than money, and certainly more than wealth.
Capitalism, Scarcity, and Tarot Love Readings
“Scarcity is very real. It's manufactured, but that doesn't mean scarcity is fake.
Capitalism doesn't work without scarcity. Its ideal is having more demand than supply. That's what scarcity means.”
Intuition for Queer Empaths
Empaths don't always know the difference between helping and butting in. They struggle with staying out of other people's business, because it's often accessible to them.
They may even have trouble separating their feelings from those of others.

CARTOMANCY
Through free thought, by which I mean attention to detail, inquiry, and understanding, we can see that the work of tarot’s Swords isn’t good or bad.
Through free thought, we can see the role systems play in our limited ability to see the truth and accept reality. Our unwillingness or inability to think and scheme freely limits our capacity for action.
It all but ensures that we will act without thinking, and reap the consequences about which the Swords warn.
