The Nine of Pentacles guides us through the week of July 29 to August 4 2019.

I think that is a great card to have.
It beautifully expresses my idea of “the lazy days of Summer.”

The tree is ripe with fruit and pentacles, giving us an idea of abundance.
The lady is comfortable and relaxed.

What does that mean for us and our week?
You have worked hard for a long time. You have been disciplined and productive.
It is time to give yourself some credit.
Rest or do whatever gives you joy.
Spend some of that hard earned money.
Take a vacation, or simply spend some quality time outdoors.

If you are questioning your own power, stop.
You are smart, hard working, reliable and disciplined.
You have skills and experience that have served you well in the past and will do so in the future.

You are strong, independent and perfectly capable of taking care of your self.

The Nine of Pentacles is telling you that you have done good and it is okay to spoil yourself a bit now. You totally deserve it.

The Page of Swords guides us through the week of July 22 to 28 2019.

All Pages are curious, open and eager to learn. They are also messengers.

Swords is Air and concerned with strategy, brilliant communication, objectivity and a clear sense of identity.

This week could bring new and important information.
It may arrive through a call, text, fax, email or in person.

This message will bring clarity to a situation that was confusing.
It may give you the facts and details you need in order to act or make a decision.

It may take the form of an important conversation.
One where you would be wise to keep an open mind. You may learn something or even change perspective.

Be ready to explain your point of view clearly and to support your view with facts.

Honesty, objectivity and clarity are important at this time.

Keep your eyes and ears open.

Avoid making assumptions.

Speak your mind, but only say what you truly mean.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions.

The Page of Swords often brings change and opportunities for learning and exploring.

Timing is important, be alert and ready to act.
