Daily Tarot

For Tuesday, September 2nd, 2014

The Eight of Pentacles, the card of skilled work and employment, faces a difficult aspect today: the quincunx of Jupiter and Pluto. Thankfully, with the semisextile of the Sun and Jupiter and the positive aspect of Mercury in Libra, there is much to be gained from this day if you remain focused on what you have versus what you may be losing. Be wary of the potentially deadly influence of Mars in Scorpio.

In the Rider Waite card, a worker is depicted carving pentacles through skill and determination. He maintains full concentration, working on one pentacle at a time, not swayed by external forces. In light of todays difficult quincunx, take this single-minded focus to heart.

Where are you on the ladder of success? The lesson of Jupiter and Plutos quincunx today is dependent on this. If youre just learning to harness the power of the Eight of Pentacles, maintain your focus on Mercury in Libra and the force of mental clarity and compromise. No ego is warranted on a day when Jupiters promise of travel and mental growth meet Plutos certain death. At whatever level of the ladder youve attained, be very careful with todays Mars in Scorpio aspect. A penchant for secrets and external destruction, mixed with unchecked passions, will keep motives hidden and encourage explosive tempers.

There is hope, however, in the semisextile of the Sun and Jupiter. Bring a sense of playfulness and growth to bear on an otherwise quarrelsome work environment. If youre unable to influence the situation due to your status, focus on your own work and momentum while staying out of the fray relish the personal joy to be fostered when work is done for the day.
