In honor of my birthday tomorrow, this week I pulled a cake-shaped spread via @magicmaterial

1. What you’re here to do: 8 of Pentacles
   skill, talent, mastery
   I’m here to learn. To practice and get better at things. To keep going and work hard.
2. Your greatest gift: Queen of Pentacles
   nurturing, practical, down-to-earth
   I’m all about balance and support.
3. How you can find joy: Knight of Pentacles
   reliable, efficient, committed
   I need structure to feel successful and at peace.
4. Your intention for this year: 4 of Pentacles
   saving money and security, but also scarcity and imposter syndrome
   I definitely have business goals for this year, and they would all be easier to achieve if I overcome my insecurities.
5. Factors supporting you: Page of Cups
   creative opportunities, curiosity, intuitive inspiration
   I have so many ideas…
6. Factors to watch out for: 7 of Pentacles
   long-term, perseverance, patience
   But I want it now! (#VerucaSalt)
7. The main lesson: 2 of Cups
   love, partnership, connection
   I can’t do it alone. Luckily, I don’t have to. 😉

I feel like this reading is pretty on point for where I am right now. I’m not super excited to be reminded that the things I want take time and effort, but #allgoodthings and #patienceisavirtue and all that.

Looking forward to long-term abundance and the joy of hard work. Let’s get it done.
