5 of Pentacles - Eclipse Season

During an eclipse, significant endings and new beginnings unfold in our lives, the topics of which are influenced by what signs the eclipses occur in and where that lands in your astro-chart. These eclipses have their own seasons and cycle. The current eclipse cycle commenced in October, 2023, presently placing us in its midst and the flux of changes it ushers in.

The Tarot card 5 of Pentacles invites us to ask where these endings and beginnings are challenging our sense of stability and the emotions, memories, and fears that surface when that stability is shook.
Where and whom might you look to for resources when if feels you don't have or don't deserve them?
Are there emotional reservoirs within friends, partners, or family members that you can reach out to? Are their other places you can open up to for support that may not be the most obvious but will be helpful?

I grapple with 5 of Pentacles times, I usually default to branding myself a failure, a fool and questioning my worth, which can, in turn, cause me to retreat into isolation rather than open to those near and dear and to the unexpected resources that are usually present.

When not in the muck and able to step back it is rather perplexing how these darker facets of the human experience compel us to withdraw from those available and ready to offer us care and resources.
For some odd and some logical reasons accepting aid feels like swallowing bitter medicine, challenging our autonomy and self worth.
I recognize my own readiness to extend compassion to others in similar situations Yet why do I question receiving what I would readily offer others?

If you, too, find yourself navigating unstable terrain, feeling lacking, the 5 of Pentacles invites you to take a moment of a few deep breaths, a pause, and consider any connections you can reach out too—perhaps there are unobvious ones that will emerge to help provide your fundamental needs.
Foremost, do remind yourself you are incredible, unique and deserve every ounce of goodness and compassion and resource out there.

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.
