The week ahead for June 17th

The week ahead is one of good things. You will find an abundance of the things you need or want in life this week. You have done the work to gain independence both financially and personally and it will show in the week ahead. On the 21st of June we celebrate Litha, the Summer Solstice, the Stawberry full moon takes place today adding to this energy of abundance and harvest. This card combined with the season change and the power of the full moon will drive that abundance we are speaking of into overdrive.

Abundance however doesn't necessarily mean copious amounts of cash and untold riches, pentacles is also a suit of manifesting and making from our surroundings the things we want and need; this means that the abundance that you may experience this week could be in the things you harvest, the people you love, or in the work you do. You may find yourself feeling fulfilled in more ways than one this week as the energies you have been putting out start bringing back to you the things you desire. Notice however, the hood is on the falcon the woman is holding, even though abundance will be flowing this week this image is reminding us not to be over zealous and use it all up fast. This image is saying reserve some of this week's gifts for when times are a little harder and you need some to help get you through. The woman in this card didn't get to her place in life by blowing it all as soon as she got it, she was wise and saved, preserved and prepared for times ahead because she undstands that like everything, abundance and high vibrational energy ebs and flows and someday she may need to fall back on those reserved things. Notice the clouds behind her obscure the views, we cannot see what the future may hold so be focused on the here and now but hold back some for when those clouds roll in. The butterflies remind us of change and constant movement in life, it is telling us to not get to cozy here in this place because the changes that will come will create challenges, this is the natural progression of movement, constant growth and learning, adjusting how we work and do things to ensure we stay relevant and with the movement of energy. Both these animal images are important reminders when it comes to this card, both tell us to enjoy the rewards of the work we have done but don't get caught up and lose our heads because stability can be lost as easy as it was gained.
