Tarot Combinations Series - 5
Three of Pentacles + Queen of Pentacles + Three of Cups
"We are at a time of the dawning of the Great Earth Mother, her presence and threads weaving through our souls, connecting us to our hearts, our collective dream and to our own dream."
‘Come. You are not meant to walk this path alone. It’s time to call your tribe home.’
Welcome to the fifth post in the Tarot Combination Series brought to you by Sevenstar Tarot, conceptualized and written by yours truly, Jacqueline Sevenstar.
I’ve decided to do something a little different this time. I’ve personally been through a deep, void time — shedding more layers and uncovering deeper truths of my self. Emerging ever-so-gently from this space, I’ve found a certain dread coming back to this blog, yet I still feel compelled to do it and still loved the idea of it.
Struggling with these thoughts, I was sitting at my kitchen table and decided, why not close my eyes, quiet my mind and see what deeper insights my Higher Mind could bring to this situation? So I did. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and relaxed my body. As I felt the breeze of the outside air coming through my open window, an idea struck me. If these cards I’ve been drawing for these posts already relate to my personal life, why not just go with that? Why not just share my own truth and journey?
My old self felt that my own insights were too personal, too self-involved or not ‘scientific’ enough to share the incredible concepts the Tarot can inspire. There’s no doubt there were aspects I enjoyed about the previous form and structure of this blog, but I couldn’t deny that I was dragging my feet and not feeling ‘lit up’ about the next post. What I did feel ‘lit up’ about were the Tarot Combination cards that I drew because I had been digesting this new experience for my Soul already in my personal life and was excited to see it reflected as a Tarot Card Combination. I also cannot deny that I do delight in the idea of sharing its wisdom. It was a lot of ‘work’ trying to dismantle my own personal experiences, still make my insights my own thoughts separate from other Tarot works and then put it together for a wide audience.
So, this time around, in this new blog post, I will be attempting to put this form and structure in a way that is more enjoyable for me. Less work, more ease and more joy. At the end of the day, if I am having a good time, that’s enough for me.
Overall Impressions & Insights on this Combination Key :
The first thing that struck me was that the 3 of pentacles and the 3 of cups added up to 6. With the risk of being too personal, my total in my business account after I transferred my ‘salary’ to my checking account ended up being $666.66. When I saw that, I struggled to think of how that was possible. Then, later on that evening, I was drawing from one of my favorite Oracle decks and 5 cards came flying out. Each card had a number and they all added to 6 in different variations. The statistical possibility of that was insane.
This time, after the experience of seeing my account, I knew there was something to this number and the universe was trying to get my attention. I decided to look up the significance of repeating 6’s on the online angel index I like to use and the overall message was that the 6 related to harmony and service. It also made me think of the number 6 Tarot card — The Lovers. Immediately my mind then jumped to the 6th sephiroth on the Qabalistic Tree of Life, which was Tiphareth (Beauty, it’s associated planet being the Sun).
On the Tree of Life, Tiphareth is the ‘heart’ — every sephiroth connects to this sphere. If this sphere connects to all the other spheres on the Tree of Life… (Figure 1) then there must be some kind of harmonizing taking place for all spheres to somehow pass through or be connected to this one. Number 6, the Heart, could be the ultimate key for the Soul's destiny or fulfillment. Or at the very least, the power source that influences or charges all the energy centers. It begs the question... what is in your heart? Food for thought.
The word ‘connection’ pops into my mind. So, here I was with the words harmony, connection and heart floating about, and suddenly I had the proverbial “Eureka!” moment.
My soul has been shedding, dying, and repeating some hard lessons over the past three years to arrive at the idea to ‘choose love’ for any choice I am confronted with. Today I can honestly say that I have chosen love and faith over what’s practical, comfortable or safe. My biggest examples of that is that I quit my corporate job and went all-in on my sacred and Tarot life. Despite that, I will choose my relationship with my husband and his family over any career decision I am faced with. Because of those choices, my husband and I face scarcity and a lack of financial security. Yet, I am strong in my devotion and faith to be able to withstand that uncertainty. Even now, with these 3 Tarot cards, I am full of hope and faith, especially with the Queen of Pentacles in the middle. She is the embodiment of promise, fertility and prosperity. So I am I. I am her and she is me. My faith in her allows me to take the leap and follow my heart on this Fool’s Journey.
Now, we also have the energy and power of the 3 with the 3 of pentacles and the 3 of cups. It is not lost on me that both cards have teamwork, support and collaboration as part of the equation. The pentacles leans more heavily towards collaboration and the 3 of cups is more towards support and celebration. When I look at those cards, I am reminded of my desire to choose love and how that has changed the way I pursue anything in my life. As this newly minted version of self, I try to always ask myself if what I am striving for is honoring ALL the souls in my life. If it does not, then the importance of whatever endeavor I am striving for lessens. My dream is no longer just my own, it includes the people I have chosen to be a part of my life. The people in my life are no longer separate from my dream, they are part of my dream, in fact, they are the dream.
It took me a long time in life to realize that what I wanted all along was right in front of me and everything else was just perks. I think my ego and my mind saw my dream as just mine, and that it was all down to me to do it. It was precious, not to be influenced by anyone. I believe trauma and survival were two big things behind that old mindset. When I began to open my heart and open my life, my dream shifted and I realized that everything wasn’t down to me and it wasn’t the single most important thing to pursue. After wrestling with the Holy Mother a bit… I let go. I found myself not just relieved, but my heart felt warm and full. I had the realization that my relationships were strong and I felt safe, secure and loved. Ha! When did this happen?
I have a clan, I have people in my life to share and dream with. If I won, we all won. If there was a triumph, we celebrated it together. Suddenly, this new self realized that I wasn’t sacrificing anything by letting others in.
I guess what I am trying to say is that it makes sense to me to see the 3 of pentacles and the 3 of cups. These cards allude that something is being built (3 of pentacles), something of significance that will provide perhaps some financial security and that there will be support, not just support, but fun in the process (3 of cups). I don’t know about you, but I am ready for the ride, full of love, ready to be of service and excited for the future.
Special Note: Looking at all these 3 cards together I did wonder if it represented 3 people coming together, with the support of Mother Earth, or the Sacred Feminine, following their North Star (North Node)...building something, having fun and supporting each other while doing it.
