I’m using the charms a little here too, but I would say to consider the areas where money, (spending in excess, over-extending to others) while bringing some pleasure, is covering up an sense of emotional deficiency that creates this loop. It is not the money that needs tending, but your relationship to it. If you can refine that, you’ll create room and perspective for even greater abundance.
Nancy's Feedback: First, I think any one of your responses would answer Nicolle's question - so great work.
A couple of things to consider: the 10 of Cups is typically seen as the happy family who has achieved everything they want. But in the deck I used here, there isn't a family pictured, and goldfish are coming up out of 3 of the cups. Does this mean financial (gold) is abundant? Or does it mean, perhaps, that there's so much cash available, Nicolle could be spending way beyond her means? And not because she needs stuff, but because her heart's set on it (Cups).
Clearly, the Justice card is telling her to get her finances in order. You know what happens to the scale when one is overloaded with too much debt (or too much STUFF). Lastly, the Page of Pentacles can act a bit impulsively with money (but not nearly as much as the Page of Wands!). Think about when you were in your teens or early twenties and got your first credit card. That's how this Page feels to me. Wow! I can now go out and use this credit card and buy anything I want.
For me, Nicolle's spending will be okay if she manages to get a handle on her impulsive spending driven by her emotional wants. If she sees it and her emotional body goes 'ooooh' and she has the money to buy it, she will. And this will lead to financial woes in the future as she's ignoring the advice handed out by Justice.
It's fine if you disagree. This is the Lab and we're meant to try new things.
You have enjoyed financial stability that has kept its balance to this point. Your concern is because you need more experience and knowledge to be able to make sound financial decisions as you get older. Get a financial advisor who will educate you about financial planning.
Keep your long term emotional goals front and center, and strive for balance between those and the opportunities as they come. Learn all you can about good financial health, and resist being impetuous with your money.
Take a closer look at how you spend your money. Do you spend excessively on having fun without a plan for the future? You might want to consider reining things in a bit and starting fresh this month with a new budget.
The financial stability you desire is already here. In order to maintain it you must find balance between your focus on money and material wealth and fully engaging in the life you already have from a heart centered place.
Enjoy the fruit of your labor and at the same time be frugal within reason. Stop worrying about tomorrow with dread and act now to ensure financial stability.
She’s in a great place now, celebrate and maintain it that without being frugal but being balanced. Money is an energetic thing… by showing balance she will keep it circulating leading to opportunity - to set new financial foundations for the future- she should do so.
Balance will be required. If you live in fear, you'll make decisions fear, and it will impact how you gain, spend, and save money. Don't wait to enjoy community, try to ensure you aren't in a role that depletes you. Your future fortunes show promise, but will require you to rise to the occasion and manage your income responsibly. Examine how you handle your finance and expand your knowledge there.
