The Big Book of Angel Tarot Part 14

The fairies are putting the finis.h.i.+ng touches on a mechanical b.u.t.terfly. This is a remarkable accomplishment that took both creativity and precision. Since b.u.t.terflies represent evolution, the image signifies that they've taken responsibility for creating their own growth through their hard work.

There are three golden coins in the wings of the b.u.t.terfly, showing that all of the fairies are rewarded for their particular contributions.

The scene takes place in a green and bountiful valley. The Three of Earth shows that our efforts are being placed in fertile soil.

Angel Number This card is number 67, which speaks to us of our success at home and at work. We've followed our guidance and have remained true to our path.

The number 67 reduces to 4 (6 + 7 = 13, 1 + 3 = 4). We're called upon to ask our angels for a.s.sistance whenever we feel the need.

Astrology The Three of Earth is a.s.sociated with Mars in Capricorn. Mars is a fiery energy that wants to accomplish great things. Capricorn is a sign that's also focused on doing a good job and is often concerned with the legacy it may leave behind. This pairing fits perfectly with this card's emphasis on unparalleled creative work.

Four of Earth

As we've mentioned, there are cards in tarot that refer to the extremes of either side of a concept. We call them duality cards. The message isn't gray, but rather, black or white. The answer isn't "maybe," but "yes" or "no." The Four of Earth tells us that we're either spending entirely too much money, or we're being so cautious with it that we're missing out on the happiness it could bring us. Which of these messages pertains to the reading is a matter of both our intuition and the other cards in the spread. Another meaning of this card can be that we need to be more charitable with our abundance, which fits in with the extreme of h.o.a.rding our cash.

The Four of Earth sometimes refers to other situations where we are either being excessive or insufficient in our efforts. For example, we could be loving too much or not enough. We could be trying too hard or not trying at all. This card can also mean well-thought-out business decisions, large purchases or investments, or a feeling of paranoia that our prosperity will be taken from us.

Symbolism The two fairies in the image represent the extremes noted in the card. One fairy is quite large, and the other is very small. One is completely visible, and the other is partially hidden.

One way to allow our intuition to help us know which extreme the card is referring to is to note which fairy our eyes are drawn to. The small fairy can indicate someone of small means, the larger fairy someone who has a much larger acc.u.mulation of a.s.sets.

We can also note that the basket of coins is chained to the larger fairy, indicating that she's the one who should let go of her tight hold upon her wealth in order to help those in need.

The smaller fairy doesn't even have a "s.h.i.+rt on her back," showing that she may be lacking in resources.

Angel Number The number 68 is connected with the Four of Earth card. We're inspired to know that Spirit is the source of our abundance and that prayer can work miracles.

The number 68 reduces to 5 (6 + 8 = 14, 1 + 4 = 5). This is the number that tells us that changes are coming in our lives; we just need to be patient.

Astrology Sun in Capricorn is the astrological a.s.sociation for this card. The sign of Capricorn is one of dedication and concentration on its task. However, we must remember that Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the planet of restriction. This can create the paradox we see in the Four of Earth. The Capricorn Sun is always there, wanting to s.h.i.+ne for work well done, while the energy of Saturn may hold us back from enjoying the fruits of our labors.

Five of Earth

The Five of Earth tells us that something is lacking in our lives. This situation may be real, but it's more often a perception that the card is asking us to change. While the card is oriented toward financial worries, we believe that it can also represent an absence of friends, romance, or opportunities. Of course, as long as our focus is on that which we don't have, the Law of Attraction will only bring us more of the experience of lack. The Five of Earth indicates that there's help at hand, but we may be too distracted or too proud to ask for it.

This card is a temporary situation that eventually fades away once our thoughts turn to a more positive energy. It can also reflect a situation where a change in career-especially a transition to self-employment-would be unwise at this time.

Symbolism The path before us is tangled and overgrown. It would appear that getting to our destination is going to be difficult, if not impossible.

However, a cuckoo bird flies over a narrow path that leads to a beautiful tower. The cuckoo is a symbol of a change in our circ.u.mstances, but it is within us to change that situation if we so desire.

The path leads to a beautiful tower lit by five golden coins. There's help waiting there for us if we will just ask for it.

Five is the number of change, and the rationale for the five golden coins on the tower.

Angel Number The Five of Earth resonates to the number 69. The 9 energy speaks of those who may be experiencing a sense of emptiness due to being off their Divine path. The 6 energy is one of worry over material or financial concerns.

The number 69 reduces to 6 (6 + 9 = 15, 1 + 5 = 6), emphasizing the importance of being paid a fair wage for our efforts.

Astrology Mercury in Taurus isn't inclined to move quickly. While Mercury is a sign that's capable of zooming right along, the grounding side of Taurus can bring things to a standstill. When this energy has its mind set on something, it can be difficult to get it to change. There's a desire to do things on its own that can prevent it from asking for help or moving along the path-even when doing so could make the situation much better.

Six of Earth

The challenges of the Five of Earth have fallen away, and what's left is the abundance and generosity inherent in the Six of Earth. Prosperity enters our lives in the form of gifts or increases in salary due to our outstanding work. The power of positive thinking has brought us to a new time of abundance. This card can also reflect paying off debts, the repayment of favors, or the elimination of other obligations.

The Six of Earth is a card of grat.i.tude and charity. By giving thanks to the Universe for what we have, more is provided to us. We're called upon to give our time, energy, or financial gifts to others who are less fortunate.

Symbolism The fairy in this image was previously seen working with others to create the work of art in the Three of Earth. His hard work has brought him to a place of prosperity.

The scales are currently unbalanced, reflecting a society where not everyone has all that they need. The fairy who has found that abundance in his life works to restore balance by enabling him to give to those in need.

Angel Number This is Card 70, which signifies good work that has flourished, and also those who are on the right path.

The number 70 reduces to 7 (7 + 0), which merely intensifies the message of success.

Astrology The energy around Moon in Taurus is thoughtful, kind, and giving. It is very connected to that which matters in life, with a full understanding of the truth. The way this energy sees things may not be the same way others do, but it is dedicated to its convictions.

Seven of Earth

The Seven of Earth is a card of hope, and also patience. Our efforts will be rewarded, but like seeds planted in a garden, it will take time for our work to bear fruit. Often when this card is drawn, someone is fearful that desired results will not pan out. However, the Seven of Earth represents worry that's unfounded. All will be well in time.

If it feels as though events have come to a standstill, it's only temporary. Soon our plans will begin to gain momentum again.

Symbolism A living tree in an enchanted forest has grown, and now blossoms with gold coins. Trees take time to reach maturity and bloom, the same as our current endeavor.

The tree sprouts seven gold coins. Seven is the number that a.s.sures us that we're on the correct path.

A fairy visits the tree, wis.h.i.+ng to have a conversation. Fairies are magical beings who are known as powerful manifesters.

Angel Number This is Card 71, a number that tells us that our lives are right on track and that the dreams we've chosen to manifest are coming true. We simply need to stay positive in our thoughts to continue to prosper.

The number 71 reduces to 8 (7 + 1), which is the number of abundance and financial security.

Astrology Saturn in Taurus is the astrological a.s.sociation for this card. Taurus is a sign that very much enjoys luxury and comfort, but Saturn is a planet that holds us back from immediately getting what we want. We learn from Saturn in order to grow and eventually attain our goals-although our growth may change our minds about what it is we're hoping for.

Eight of Earth

If the Three of Earth is the great master craftsman, then the Eight of Earth is the apprentice. With this card, we throw ourselves into our studies until we know all there is to know, and practice our vocation until our skills are honed. We work extremely hard on our current project until every aspect has been attended to. Our eyes are set on perfection, and we're determined to make the grade.

This card can also refer to going back to school, attending a seminar, or taking an online cla.s.s-anything that has to do with educating ourselves or further developing our skills.

Symbolism A young male fairy sits in a field studying. The greenery around him is lush, but very little is blooming. He still has much to learn before his skills blossom and flower.

The fairy wears a crown, indicating that he may be a prince, but this fact doesn't sway him from learning a trade. This card represents people who are diligent and conscientious.

There are eight books for our fairy to read. Eight is the number of abundance, indicating that he wishes to make a prosperous living from his studies.

The fairy attends to his lessons in seclusion-away from friends, family, or other distractions that might keep him from gleaning all there is to know about the topic he's studying.

Angel Number The Eight of Earth is Card 72. The 2 energy tells us that our research will inspire us to lead the life we so want to live. The 7 energy tells us to have faith, as we are on the perfect path to achieve what we desire!

The number 72 reduces to a 9 (7 + 2), telling us that our efforts are carrying us toward our Divine life purpose.

Astrology Sun in Virgo is the astrological designation for this card. Virgos are known for being extremely exacting in their work, with a focus on minute details. Those born under the sign of Virgo are individuals of service who care very much about other people's welfare.

Nine of Earth

The Nine of Earth is a card of success, luxury, and self-nurturing. Our prosperity hasn't been handed to us, but earned by many hours of long, hard work. We deserve the rest and relaxation that we're currently experiencing. This card often refers to people nearing retirement or, at the very least, those who've earned enough money to stop working if they so choose. This card is a sign that plans to go into business for ourselves are well founded and should be pursued.

This is also a card of quiet reflection. We've learned the difference between pleasant solitude and being lonely. We enjoy our time in nature and don't need the company of others to be happy.

Symbolism A female fairy walks quietly through a beautiful scene in nature. She planted this garden, and the maturity of the trees and flowers indicate that she's been very patient and diligent in tending to the surroundings.

The fairy's beautiful dress and crown indicate that she's a person of wealth.

This fairy was previously seen working on the mechanical b.u.t.terfly in the Three of Earth. She has arrived at this moment in her life through hard work, creativity, and seeing to all the details.

The flowers are clematis, which are known to symbolize ingenuity. And like our fairy, these flowers are quite adept at attaining new heights in life.

Angel Number This card is number 73, symbolizing good work that has flourished, and those who are on the right path. The ascended masters have helped us reach our goals!

The number 73 reduces to 1 (7 + 3 = 10, 1 + 0 = 1), which speaks to our ability to manifest whatever we want at the present time.

Astrology Venus in Virgo is in pursuit of grounded, beautiful perfection. It enjoys a simple life as long as everything is in its place. This is a very down-to-earth energy that values its privacy and time alone.

Ten of Earth

The Ten of Earth is a card of financial security and joyful contentment. There's a strong concern for family; however, the focus is more on aspects such as family lineage, knowing that the children's futures are financially secure, and material comforts. Home and hearth are very important. The Ten of Earth is one of the cards in tarot where everything just feels right, and we've earned the right to be very proud of ourselves.

This card can also reflect communities that we feel very connected to, inheritance, and successful completion. The card may relate to gay relations.h.i.+ps or a family with same-s.e.x partners.

Symbolism A beautiful family has gathered in a forest setting. Everyone is smiling, and there's a sense of contentment.

The children are happily playing with golden coins, which represent that their futures are financially secure. It can also indicate an inheritance.

The family is of a nontraditional nature to symbolize that the word family means many different things to different people. It may represent the family we were born to, a family of friends who support one another, or a community of individuals who have mutual goals.

Fireflies represent the magic in life ... and with the Ten of Earth, life is magical.

Angel Number This is Card 74; it tells us that our lives are right on track and that the dreams we've chosen to manifest are coming true. We're reminded to express grat.i.tude to the angels for all their a.s.sistance.

The number 74 reduces to 11 (7 + 4), which is a master number and does not reduce further. This magical number tells us that we've used our ability to manifest to create deeply moving experiences.
