THE KING OF PENTACLES
This week we see a different cowboy than the first week of the month. This shows a more mature man riding his horse across the countryside, surveying his land and keeping a secure eye on it.
He is conveying his kingly confidence onto his steed, which is proudly showing off its sugar skull mask. This man has worked hard to achieve all that he has accomplished and will stop at nothing to make sure his family and loved ones are protected.
When the King of Pentacles appears in a reading, it can easily refer to a person like a father or manager who's in a position to help you out financially and has your best interests in mind. It could be a financial planner who genuinely cares about you and your family.
The King of Pentacles can also represent achieving comfort and security through personal growth and attaining goals. A good omen in a reading, this card often means material abundance and spiritual wealth.
Perhaps this is the reward of navigating last week's reversed tarot card The Star, where we were required to believe in our self and persevere through the energy.
The suit of Pentacles represents the Earth element in Tarot. This is the element of work, the body and the senses, finances, possessions, home, and everything tangible. The King of Pentacles depicts the fixed sign Taurus as an experienced and wise, mature man. The king cards embody an airy intellect that combines the Air element their assigned element. In this case, Air and Earth.
This card, as a mature, Taurus male, contains the tenacity of a bull and shrewd practicality. He sees beyond his current view and plans for the future to attain his goal: stability. When this card presents, it indicates help from a very influential person willing to assist you attain your goals through a substantial gift or perhaps a loan.

Mid Sunday morning, the Sun in Libra inconjunct Saturn Rx in Pisces, we may experience limitations imposed by others or situations. By midafternoon, the Moon will conjunct Venus in Libra, ushering in social energy. It's an excellent time to get together with close friends or family.
Monday morning brings the Dark Moon in Libra followed by tomorrow's New Moon in Libra. There is no void-of-course time during this Dark Phase, so all rituals are a go.
Tuesday brings us the New Moon in Libra: Season of the Growing Shadow—Sometimes New Beginnings Begin with Rest, not Action There is a three-hour void-of-course time AM, so avoid rituals until it has passed.
Wednesday Neptune Rx re-enters Pisces and the Sun enters Scorpio. In essence, this back-track into Pisces is significant because it will be the final dignified transit of Neptune for roughly 164 years.
Early Thursday morning the Moon conjunct Mars in Scorpio followed late morning by a lunar conjunction to Mercury in Scorpio. It's strongly advisable to forego any important conversations and/or decisions. If challenged, choose your battle wisely.
Moon will also travel OOB early afternoon. OOB planets can go one of two ways: firstly, they can produce exceptional creativity exceeding the potential of expectations; secondly, they can be erratically unpredictable and go to extremes that can detrimentally affect others, including themselves.
Friday mid/late morning the Sun in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius followed by Mercury in Scorpio inconjunct Chiron Rx in Aries trine Jupiter in Cancer. Some days are meant to reveal exactly what isn't working for us—this is one.
Early Saturday morning, the Moon in Sagittarius sextile Venus in Libra, creating a soothing energy and desire to be close to those we care about.

Early afternoon Moon in Virgo sextile Jupiter in Cancer.
Spending time with close friends or family knits feelings of belonging, support, and being supported. Group efforts are highly favored during this time, as well as promotions and sales.
Late afternoon the Moon opposes Saturn Rx in Pisces, bringing potential disruption to a relationship/s. Perhaps we felt triggered by something we witnessed or heard, prompting us to suddenly withdraw, which can lead to feelings of isolation or loneliness.
Don't close off to those who want to help you. You can talk to them regardless of thoughts that may be trying to convince you otherwise.
More importantly, they will understand and support us when we need it most.

Early morning the Moon conjunct Mars in Scorpio followed late morning by a lunar conjunction to Mercury in Scorpio. It's strongly advisable to forego any important conversations and/or decisions.
If challenged, choose your battle wisely. Your ability to defend yourself lends nothing to a cloudy misperception influenced by emotion.
You can, however, use this energy for good if you can control your moods through reason.
This afternoon the Sun in Scorpio inconjunct Uranus Rx in Gemini. Sudden changes or unexpected delays / cancellations require patience and a willingness to compromise.
If you feel you can't contain your emotions, find a quiet place to ground and rebalance. Some changes advance our interests and well-being despite not being able to clearly see in the present.
Early evening Jupiter in Cancer square Chiron Rx in Aries and the Moon conjunct Lilith in Scorpio, indicating domestic tension triggered by an old wound.
Contain but don't suppress. You may need time to yourself or, with Lilith around the bend in the 8th, it may be just the time to confront the source and reclaim your power through transformation.

Mid/late morning the Sun in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius followed by Mercury in Scorpio inconjunct Chiron Rx in Aries trine Jupiter in Cancer.
Some days are meant to reveal exactly what isn't working for us—this is one, whether involving electronics or personnel.
The way we associate with authority may be highlighted through pressure from others to account for our choices. If we're willing to be honest, we'll navigate this without excessive turbulence. It's up to us to evaluate the source of such demands as to whether they are truthful or another is exerting their power. Either way, a push back could cause more issues than a current compromise.
Acquiescence doesn't equate weakness. On the contrary, it demonstrates a wisdom and attunement to the current atmosphere or moods of others, providing an opportunity to make different choices over response vs reaction. All of this will highlight strength of character and patience toward the right timing.
The trine between Mercury and Jupiter can open our mind to the realization that iron sharpens iron, enabling us to transform a difficult situation into a favorable opportunity by altering our perspective from defensiveness to optimism. This will provide a new sense of achievement, as though we've overcome an old pattern holding us back. And if we've made it this far without anger or resentment, then we have.

Freedom from expectations and a balance of giving/receiving is required here.
Late afternoon Mercury trine Saturn Rx in Pisces, ushering in a more serious energy of focus. We may feel more introspective and inclined to organize our surroundings. Seeking advice from someone who is more experienced in an area we are interested in will prove highly beneficial to our future at this time.
