Cold Hard Cash

I have just returned form my fifth sacred kinesiology appointment. As on all the previous occasions, again, I have asked my Gypsy cards: what energies that no longer serve me have I released? Or, alternatively, what good energies have I made room for by having released something that no longer serves me?

Having shuffled the cards well, I drew the Fortune, the Sweetheart and the House cards. The message of this triple combination came to me immediately: I should allow masculine energies to bring me fortune and safety. In other words, clean masculine energies will lead to safety.

So, how does this strange message resonate with me? I don’t think that the combination alludes to a specific man. Rather, it talks about masculine energies in general that we women also have. Thinking like a man with our brain (and I am grossly generalizing here), rather than with our heart is often useful especially in this modern world and lifestyle. There are aspects of our life, especially money (Fortune), that need to be handled with a business rationale which I associate with masculine resonances. Thinking about finances with more determination and logic will ensure financial safety on the long run (House – safety of any kind).

Money is a touchy subject that we treat too emotionally instead of with the rational importance it craves. We scornfully reject it with an exaggerated pride in our emotional values at moments that have to do neither with pride nor with emotions. We feel that our heart should always rule us although we are given a strong brain exactly for moments when it is rational thinking that would serve us better.

These cards indicate that after a life-long battle around the concept of money, I have finally made peace with money. I like it, and when I think of it, I think of it with the importance money enjoys. I invite it into my life, and when it arrives, I welcome it, enjoy it, structure it, see how it serves me the best on the long run, and most of all, I feel no guilt for having it.

Money is a tool for safety that likes to be treated with loving rationality. Our life is not only about our heart and the ideal; at times it is about our brain and the practical.

A friend of mine always says: treat money with the attention and the respect it deserves; because money talks, and the first thing it says is “goodbye”.
