As the holidays approach and the end of the calendar year draws near, we are encouraged to embrace the slower pace of the season and reflect on how far we’ve come this year.
The Nine of Pentacles signals that we are nearing the completion of a cycle, especially in the realm of material wealth, personal achievements, and resources. This is a cycle of Growth. Over the course of the year, we’ve worked diligently to build skills and cultivate habits that support our current circumstances. Now, we are invited to pause and enjoy the fruits of our labor. While the journey isn’t over, there’s immense satisfaction in recognizing how far we’ve come and using this time to thoughtfully plan the road ahead.
This week’s message encourages a reflective retreat, urging us to follow our internal rhythms and honor our desires. The mantra to “Tune in, turn on, drop out” reminds us that we don’t have to conform to societal expectations, particularly during this season of indulgent consumerism and obligatory family gatherings. We’re invited to gently release minor responsibilities and carve out space for daydreaming and envisioning our future.
This does not imply completely checking out or ignoring reality. Instead, it’s an invitation to visit your inner world, celebrate your personal growth, and find joy in the progress you’ve made. By tapping into this sense of fulfillment and clarity, we can bolster ourselves against the more challenging aspects of the season.
Like a finely aged Cider, we are also reminded to appreciate the maturity of our experiences and perspectives. It is this personal growth and introspection that will help us find peace and respite in the coming days. We’ve already accomplished so much this year; let’s trust that we have the tools to navigate the holiday gauntlet with ease.
