What do you want? Success doesn’t always happen overnight. Having clarity on this one question is your map to getting there. This month’s themes are abundance, personal growth, and confidence as we navigate February’s dynamic energy. The King of Pentacles is generous, ambitious, resourceful, dependable, and hard-working. He sets the tone as we find ourselves face-to-face with our first Mercury Retrograde of 2021. With Aquarius energy all around us, there’s so much growth, learning, and opportunity for all of us. Let’s jump in!
Mercury is the planet of communications, thinking, timing, travel, and technology. When it goes retrograde, which happened on January 30th, it appears to go backward which can upset the proverbial apple cart of our lives a bit in these areas. It’s also a time of truth. We’re often told to SLOW DOWN during a Mercury Retrograde. Making *right now* a great time to address and correct anything that may have gone sideways instead of sweeping it under the rug. It’s also a great time to revisit past decisions, reflect on where you are, and for truths to be revealed.
A retrograde – or backward moving
Mercury can reach more in-depth into an issue, topic, or theme because its energy is internalized. It’s possible to develop some dynamic ideas and creative choices during this time, so pay attention.
Mercury Retrograde in quirky Aquarius (January 30-February 20th) rules over friendships, collaborations, your intuition, and technology. So be careful with your words (seriously, watch your words), backup your devices, and start thinking about what you want to create in your world.
At the same time, we have the patient, abundant, determined, and expansive energy of the King of Pentacles. He is all about freedom and manifesting your dreams. He asks: What do you want? What’s your biggest dream?
Kind and gracious
The King of Pentacles helps people where and when he can. He enjoys the success of others and is a role model for choosing generosity over greed. He believes that success is a feeling and not a number on a piece of paper. If you feel it and believe it, you will manifest it. Where’s this at work in your life?
The King of Pentacles is stable and disciplined, extroverted, worldly, and focuses on getting things done. His success is not random, but built on years of hard work – just like you! He stays true to his values of order, logic, quality over quantity and keeps close tabs on his trusty intuition.
While grounded, practical, and a little bit stubborn, his thoughts and actions point at what he values most: family, legacy, tradition, good health, fitness, business, loyalty, and education.
When not working at his best, this king can show workaholic tendencies, obsess over material success, live with a scarcity mindset or feel out of balance. This can be turned around easily by setting firm goals and sticking to a plan.

More deets on the card here:
This past month, I channeled my inner King of Pentacles in an exchange with a new coaching client. A bit worried, she reached out to me, afraid that I would be upset with her because work I was expecting her to send me wasn’t yet done. (The work, by the way, is for her.) With warmth and compassion, I replied that I was not upset with her. What I’m seeing is someone hard at work and needs a bit more time to finish. I told her to take the time that she needs, and when ready, I’d be thrilled to receive it. Her reply: “Dina, I almost shed a tear when I saw the kindness of your response. I am so excited for all of the work we will do together.”Me too.
Things for you to consider:
- What role does compassion play in your life?
- What do you want?
- What action steps are you are taking to create the future you desire?
- What does generosity mean to you?
- Do you know your values?
- How are you taking care of your family or giving back to your community?
The King of Pentacles asks you to take the kind of actions he might take. Such as: keeping a commitment, fixing something that’s broken, encouraging the accomplishments of others, generously giving your time and attention, maintaining a calm and even temperament, finding opportunity everywhere, handling any issue competently, making money, or supporting/guiding an entrepreneur.
Mirror his actions. Take his special energy with you. Add compassion, generosity, determination, and confidence, make it happen. And, while you’re figuring out what you want, allow the Mercury Retrograde to work for you.
Big things are happening. Believe it.
Until soon,
Will you be my 💖 VALENTINE?
Hard at work growing my coaching business, I’ve been hearing from clients asking if I’m still doing divination/tarot readings. Um, YES! Tarot is my passion, my ❤️ and one of the many ways I communicate in this complex world. If you’ve never had a reading with me – what are you waiting for? 👇🏼
February is Valentine’s Day! You can schedule the reading at any (agreed upon) time up until August 31, 2021.
