Three of Pentacles

Competence, teamwork, communication

Don't feel that you have to take on everything yourself, look around and combine resources in order to get the most successful result. Be sure of what is needed before you start and have a definite plan not a vague idea. At times you may feel defeated but your determination and competence will shine through.

Four of Pentacles

Taking action, possessive, being mean
Control is an issue shown by this card, you need to learn that you cannot control everything. You may be experiencing problems with possessiveness or be jealous of someone - try not to run other people's lives, let them be free to make their own decisions. Sometimes change is necessary in order to improve situations and you cannot decide or demand choices from others. If you can move more with the flow you will find yourself more relaxed and less demanding of other people. Ask yourself if the things you crave will bring you true happiness and try to remember what is really important.

Five of Pentacles

Hardship, rejection, feeling alone
Something is lacking - it could be that you are neglecting yourself or that you are experiencing setbacks. It shows a struggle and lack of support in general. You may be feeling alone and possibly rejected. It is time to work towards a solution, look at ways to build up your strength and confidence. It is worth remembering that any difficulties you face have a shelf-life. Everything can and will change and no situation ever remains the same for long, even though it may seem that way at times. Are you imagining that people are against you or not there for you when you need them most. It is difficult to see things as they really are when life is heavy so be as accepting as you can of your hardship, realise that you are not alone and remember that miracles continue occurring all the while our heads are held low.

Six of Pentacles

Giving and sharing, generosity, being complacement
This card shows opposites, it shows both sides of the coin - either you have or have not got what you want or need. Sometimes the card is clear in its meaning, in other cases it depends on the surrounding cards. It says that all is sometimes not what it seems, don't accept the obvious blindly - questioning and going deeper can bring unexpected results. Remember if you have more than enough for your needs at this time (in love, friendships, money, work) - be careful not to get too complacent. Remember that there are many things we take for granted but which may be lacking from others' lives.

Seven of Pentacles

Caution, take stock
It's time to take stock, look at where you are heading and reflect on whether you are going in the right direction. Look at the alternatives, it could be that you are at a crossroads so slow down and weigh all your options. Be prepared to take a deep breath and work even harder and with more enthusiasm than before once you know the result you need. Re-evaluate your strategies before they become so habitual you can recognize no other way to confront your problems. Think about your current issues.

Knight of Pentacles

Stubborness, admitt when your wrong
Now is the time to look carefully at yourself - are you able to admit when you're wrong?, are your opinions usually set in stone?. Try to be more flexible, listen to others with an open mind - sometimes you can gain great insight if you open yourself to suggestion. This trait can often be positive as it usually means you work harder than everyone else and push yourself, try not to be too persistent in matters that aren't important. You can have what you want - security, abundance, wealth - because you are so unwavering in your efforts to achieve this. However, it also advises you to be aware that the journey is as important as the destination. If you are so narrowly focussed on your end goal you may upset others along the way
