Gratitude in the Tarot

​Gratitude is an approach to life. In the Tarot I like to see the reminders to be grateful in all of the Pentacles and most especially at the Aces and Tens. The numerical value of "1" excites energy to be productive and opens so much potential of Self and new opportunities. Some of the more abundant interpretations of the cards are places to explore Gratitude which we see many times in the suit of Earth where manifestation occurs, such as the Ace, Eight, Nine and Ten of Pentacles.

I would like you to explore Gratitude as a way of BE-ing and see how it shows up in The Magician, which is the "1" vibration in the Major Arcana, and many of the other Major Arcana cards. You can always be grateful for the hard lessons and the myriad of expressions of energy. Gratitude is never limited to the material world and can many times show up as feelings and energy expressions even before the thought of Gratitude is communicated. Look to the Wheel of Fortune as a place to be grateful as this vibrates with the "1" and the "0." The Wheel of Fortune can bring us abundance and expansion to new levels and experiences. And let us not forget The Sun vibrating with a "1" and "9," expressing a light of sustenance and nourishment for all.

I AM Grateful to all of you for being a part of this Tarot Journey :)
