Today's Theme for Daily Life
Recovery
It may be time to heal and "find meaning" in something you've experienced recently that involves loss and disappointment, betrayal, ruin, and profound despair -- probably on a matter you struggled hard to achieve or where you were quite personally invested. This card implies exhaustion as well as injury ... and suggests you may have been through substantial stress in this part of your life. You may have had to "call it quits" on something you had high hopes for once-upon-a-time. Doing so may have been nothing short of traumatic.
At its worst, this card suggests you may have been badly mistreated, led on, lied to, crushed, or exploited by someone you trusted. Its ugliest energy suggests you've been "stabbed in the back." But there may simply have been serious adjustments in lifestyle ... or objective. You may have had to reluctantly accept "new information and viewpoints" about something you seriously misunderstood.
The reversal of this card may indicate this situation is in the process of healing ... or that most of the injury is "on the inside" rather than raw and oozing out in public. But even if it's not as galling as it used to be, even if you've had some time to get over what happened -- chances are it still hurts a lot.
However, it's now time to learn to trust life again ... and move on, in the aftermath of crushing defeat, sorrow, and despair. It may take a while yet for you to recover from this, personally, intellectually, financially ... and emotionally. Revelations such as this one suggests aren't easy to absorb. And you need to still be gentle with yourself -- and cautious. You're not as strong yet as you were once ... and you'd do well to remember that for a while.
Today's affirmation:
I know how to take one day at a time ... and stabilize myself before trying to take another step in any direction.

Out beyond ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing there is a field. I will meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about.

Inadequate rewards
Today's theme ... and the experiences that await you just around the corner ... bear directly on the whole theory behind providing work in exchange for money so that you can then purchase the goods and services you need to support yourself. It suggests someone involved in the structures of your life is either being cheated by being paid inadequately for the work he or she does, or is cheating someone else by doing half-hearted and slipshod work while still charging a pretty hefty price for what he provides.
This could indicate you are working far too hard in return for a rather miserable paycheck. It suggests someone is failing to pay you what you are worth in a transaction that involves possessions, material goods, an exchange of services, etc. It further suggests you are being taken for granted, "used," or not fairly appreciated by someone for whom you provide excellent service.
It could also imply you'll discover someone has charged you "full price" for careless and shoddy work. You may learn you are very unhappy with a purchase you've made ... or find you've been ripped off. You may find yourself actively conned, swindled, or robbed.
In the worst scenario, of course, you are the one who is cheating someone else, skirting the rules, trying to "pull a fast one," and not paying someone what you rightfully owe him. So ... consider this a warning, to either keep your eyes and ears open (and, as the buyer, beware!), to insist on adequate payment for the work you produce, or to get your act together and pony up what you owe someone for what he has given you.
Whatever the scenario ... you might be wise to remember your Karma.
An additional thought to ponder:
There is no free lunch. If someone is cheating you ... you have a responsibility to help him "correct" the error. If you are cheating someone else ... remember, what goes around, comes around again. So watch out for that backswing.

Each man takes care that his neighbor shall not cheat him.
But a day comes when he begins to care that he does not cheat his neighbor.
Then all goes well -- he has changed his market-cart into a chariot of the sun.

Today's Theme for Money and Practical Concerns
New information
The next several days could bring you an experience of shining mental clarity on some problem, possibility, project, or ambition closely connected to your financial world and economic situation. This energy is the "light bulb" of inspiration and bright ideas ... ready to illuminate the area of your life that involves money management, income sources, spending habits, investments, purchases, and possessions.
This could bode quite well for an improvement in your lifestyle, your ability to have more comfort and more "things," and your chances to take better care of yourself physically. Something that combines all three interests might be especially welcome. The insight of new knowledge and new information is about to offer you a powerful gift. Keep your eyes and mind open ... and be ready to receive.
An extra piece of advice:
Innovative ideas sometimes arrive when you least expect them. Listen to what you are saying to yourself when you aren't doing anything special. Rote, routine, even boring occupations are a chance for your right brain to talk to you ... and whisper its wisdom loud enough for you to hear. Pay attention to your own "mind talk" when you are driving, taking a shower, riding the elevator, doing the dishes, or settling down to sleep for the night.
Better still, inspire yourself. Provide the right opportunity. Take a walk ... one long enough for your mind to start wandering, playing with possibilities, and bringing up words and pictures for you to examine. If you practice it regularly, you can develop this into a reliable skill ... and turn thirty minutes of exercise (which is good for you anyway!) into a brainstorming session that will hand you a dozen worthwhile new ideas every time you do it.

Inspiration comes of working every day.
