Happy Monday, everyone. I am thrilled to report that I am about 98% recovered from my tangle with COVID, thank goodness!! I appreciate all the well-wishes, prayers, and positive vibes you sent my way. I loved this quote from William Faulkner. It made me pause and think for a minute.
A beautiful meditation to help jumpstart the day!
The Tarot reading for this week is hopeful and solid.
The keywords for The Sun from the Major Arcana are: Positivity, fun, warmth, success, and vitality. You don’t know what a welcome sight this card is! If you are going through a difficult time (I certainly have been), The Sun brings you the message you have been waiting for: that things will get better, a lot better! Hallelujah! The Sun connects you to your power base – not fear-driven, egotistical power, but the abundant, inner energy radiating through you right now. You’ll sense it in your Solar Plexus chakra, calling you to express yourself authentically and be fully present in the world around you.
The King of Cups represents a balance of emotions, creativity, and the unconscious. When this card turns up in a Tarot reading, you have gained control of your feelings and can accept them without allowing them to get the better of you. Even when life throws you a curveball, you can draw on your emotional maturity and stability to help you navigate these challenges. You don’t let things get to you, and you steer clear of the drama, instead choosing an emotionally balanced and calm approach.
The Nine of Pentacles speaks of financial independence. The woman in this card has created a luxurious lifestyle by her own actions and efforts. She encourages you to do the same – to create abundance and independence so that you can take care of yourself in the long term. Invest wisely and seek financial advice to make the most of your wealth. Don’t rely on others to support you; this Nine is an independent woman. While the suit of Pentacles typically focuses on material wealth and gain, this card also suggests that you are in harmony with the environment around you. You appreciate the beauty and abundance found in nature, and you can harness this high-vibe energy to bring pleasure into your life.
My Takeaway:
What a welcome sight, these cards are. From the sun shining and bringing new vitality and creativity, to the emotionally balanced King of Cups and the secure and independent woman, this is a super positive reading and it reflects what I feel inside. I do not mean to downplay COVID. It’s a horrible nasty virus and it knocked me down hard. But, as the old saying goes, “it’s not how many times you get knocked down, it’s how you choose to get back up.”
I’d love to hear your thoughts on these cards today and hope they bring a ray of sunshine to your week!
There is nothing I can say about this Dragon Card, except that it is gorgeous!
An excellent reading, Jan, and I am glad you are recovering from Covid. It is, indeed, nasty. I need the King of Cups in my reading every week. I am always to emotional and a little prone to meltdowns when I get overwhelmed. I have not help again at work and its not the best way to negotiate the busiest period of the year. Anyhow, as you say, onwards and upwards.
Hang in there, Robbie. I hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel for you at work. I know how stressful it can be to have more work than you can possibly do. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and take a look at this post! Hugs!
So happy you are feeling so much better Jan and I am sure this spread of cards helped… I certainly welcome hints that the sun is about to shine in more ways than one. Especially as I head into my birthday always good to have such positivity… ♥♥
Awwww, Happy early Birthday, Sally!! Let the sun shine in!! Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment!
Thanks Jan… they come round awfully fast these days lol..♥
So happy you are feeling better, Jan! That Sun card could have brought some warmth today. It was in the 40s this morning. My toes are frozen. LOL! (For those that don’t know me, I live in South Florida – we don’t do cold. :-P) It’s a wonderful reading all around, and that dragon is just beautiful. Aquamarine is my birthstone, so I’m a little bias. 😉
Your comment made me chuckle, Yvette. No, Floridians don’t do cold and 40 is cold! Hope the sun shines again soon. I’m glad you enjoyed the reading and I agree about the dragon. It is a beautiful card. And it’s okay to be biased! Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment! Hugs!
I’m glad you’re on the mend, Jan. Your positive nature probably played a big part in your recovery {{hugs}}
The sun is shining, and buds are bursting on the trees. Spring is just around the corner, bringing happiness and wealth (gardening) to many- a good time to be alive 🙂
I am so happy to be feeling better, Jacquie! And you are right. Even though it’s the dead of winter, spring is just around the corner. I know how much you love your flowers and gardening. It will get here. Yes! A great time to be alive. Thank you for stopping by!
98%—I’ll take anyday.😂 So glad to hear that you’re doing better, Jan.
Me too, Pete! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment!
A wonderful way to start the week, Jan! I loved the meditation and reading. Just what I needed to hear. So happy you are doing better and yes, I do believe everything makes us stronger. I smiled at the dragon card and seeing the ocean represented and a story that begs to be written.
It’s funny, but I thought of you when I drew that Dragon card, Denise. 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed the meditation and reading. And yes! I am definitely happy to be feeling better! Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment!
Jan, this reading is… I am speechless… This week (tomorrow or Wednesday), I have a difficult talk to do with my business partner. I want to quit my job which will be a catastrophe for him. That is actually why I suppressed doing it already months of years ago. Working together is working perfectly but the job itself is a horror to me. It dims the fire in me more and more, I have become fearful and developed sleep disorders. However, I will make that step now. I will also make it because my self-employment is going up. I have so many ideas and some developments will definitely need more of my presence. I don’t want to keep myself from doing what I love with doing things that take me down. Now, look at that reading. Wouldn’t you say that this is more than confirming that I am doing the right thing?
Of course, no one can tell you what to do, Erika. You only can listen to your inner voice, your guides, and your teachers. Only you know what is right for you. I know having peace of mind in this troubled world is super important and it’s up to us to release what does not serve our higher good. When you say you’ve developed sleep disorders, that tells me you are out of sync. Doing what you love will bring rewards. I wish you the very best with whatever you decide and support you 100%! Hugs!
My decision is clear. And seeing readings like yours today, only confirms that. It is amazing, how many confirmations I received lately. So, thank you so much for sharing your readings. It is such a blessing and encouragement!
Wonderful to know you are feeling better, Jan! 🙂 And this is such a positive, inspiring reading. Yay!
Thank you, Natalie. I’m so glad you enjoyed the post and YES, it’s wonderful to feel better!
A great way to start the week, Jan. Sure glad to hear you’re feeling better!
You and me both, Teri! Thanks for stopping by!
A beautiful reading to start the week. Thank you so much, Jan! I’ve started studying the cards more closely each week to see what I recognize in them before continuing. These 3 cards definitely gave me a positive & happy feeling. I look forward to what this week has in store!
I’m so happy to hear you’re on the mend and feeling better. I hope that continues. Take care of you!
I love that you are studying the cards, Mar. Just the images on them can tell us so much and I agree that these three have a positive happy feeling. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment today!
I am pretty addicted to sunlight. Love this one.
Yes, me too, Jacqui! Now I have the song, “Let The Sunshine In” by the 5th Dimensions going through my head. Thank you for stopping by!
Good to hear you are feeling better, Jan. A very positive reading today. Thanks.
Thank you, John! It’s so great to be able to smell and taste coffee again!!
I’m sure. ☕️
Great quote from Faulkner, Jan. I hadn’t heard that one before. And what a positive spread. Life is a rollercoaster and it’s great to have these highs between the lows. I’m glad you’re feeling better, Jan. We’ve avoided covid so far, but really do wonder if it’s just a matter of time with this new one. Enjoy the sunshine!
You reflect what many are feeling about this new strain of the virus, Diana. I pray that it misses you completely! It is not fun. And you are right. It’s so good to have the highs between the lows of life. It’s what keeps us positive and moving forward. Thank you for stopping by today! Have a great week!
I hope to miss it too, but mentally I’m prepared that it may come our way. It seems hard to avoid!
I agree. It is hard to avoid. I just pray that if and when it hits, it is a light case.
Me too.
Yay! Happy to hear you’re feeling better, Jan! I love this reading and the Dragon card. My gaze went straight to the seahorses, which I love! It’s going to be an uplifting, positive week. 🙂
Thank you, Mary. I am so happy to be feeling better I am dancing on sunshine! I’m glad you enjoyed the reading and the Dragon card. I agree! It’s going to be an uplifting positive week!!
I’m so glad you’re feeling stronger, Jan. Your interpretation of the cards seems to underscore all-things-wonderful — which includes you feeling alive again. Beautiful reading. 💗
Me too, Gwen! I missed the smell and taste of coffee. 🙂 Thank you for stopping by and I’m glad you enjoyed the post! Happy Monday!
I never heard that Faulkner quote before. I love it. Thanks for sharing it.
So glad you got a positive tarot reading and are feeling better. 💕
I had never heard that quote either, Staci, but it grabbed me. I’m glad you enjoyed it. And YES, I am so thankful to be feeling good again! Thank you for stopping by!
Reblogged this on GrannyMoon's Morning Feast.

A very welcome reading, indeed. And a very lovely dragon card!
I agree, my dear! Such a beautiful little dragon. Thank you for stopping by today!
Glad you’re on the mend. This is a positive reading, and I would welcome this.
I am glad too, Craig. This virus is awful. I think we can all use a little of the sun’s rays these days! Thanks for stopping by!
I’m relieved to hear you’re feeling better, Jan. I love the Faulkner quote, too!
You and me both, Jill!! I loved the quote too. It really made me stop for a minute and think about what he was saying and then it made total sense. Thank you for stopping by today!
So happy you’re feeling better, Jan. We can all use a little ray of sunshine.
I am thrilled to be feeling better. I had missed the smell and taste of coffee! 🙂 I’m so glad the sun is shining in Texas and on us! Thank you for stopping by. Joan!
A lovely way to start the week, Jan… and so glad you’re feeling better!
Oh, me too!! Thank you for stopping by Anita or Jaye.
It’s Jaye… Anita won’t touch the computer!
Lol! Good to know, Jaye!
That doesn’t really mean I am in the driving seat though, as my sister has plenty of input and ideas!
I totally get it, Jaye. 🙂
I should imagine she could drive a car from the back seat too…
Lol!! I’m laughing out loud, literally!
annoying as all hell, but my sister makes everyone laugh so she gets away with murder!
