7 of Pentacles - Full Moon in Virgo
The groundwork has been laid, all the necessary efforts have been made, and now it's time to work with allowing yourself to relinquish control... to some extent, How do you embrace the elements beyond our immediate influence, and are you able to create room to find fascination in the mysterious workings of the unseen.
As an artist, perhaps some of you know me through my creations as Raskol Ink Hoodies. I specialize in crafting art on hoodies, and before an art show, I can only produce as many hoodies as my capacity allows. Whether they all sell or not is beyond my control. Yet, I've dedicated myself to the work I can do. Some of the essence of this card lies in befriending the idea of patience as we await the desired outcomes. It's about letting go of the relentless pursuit of the end result and "success" and embracing the art of the in-betweens.
Which... can frustratingly require accepting things as they are, even when they don't unfold as quickly or smoothly as desired. During this time can you lean into the process, recognizing that some things take more time to develop or unfold than fits our own timeline. Can you persevere by pausing and in the in-between remember explore the "why" that got you to present, open up a little more space for the unseens to do what they do...
Tarot has always and continues to help me navigate through any and all times.
I hope these musings offer encouragement and support in being you, cuz no one else does it quite like you do.
Thank you for being here.
