Tarot Things: Virgo's Cards

So with the full moon in Virgo it got me thinking about the energy we can expect at this time. Virgo is represented in tarot by two cards.  The major arcana card of The Hermit, and in the minor arcana as the Eight of Pentacles.

I love the Hermit. But I am an introvert so it's no surprise. To me, the Hermit represents all that is good about being alone. A chance for solitude and quiet. It's a reminder to reflect, and also that sometimes we need to withdraw to quiet the noise, so we can hear our own thoughts. I also see him as a reminder that it is within those quiet spaces where we can realize we have the answer inside of us. Stop seeking outside enlightenment or distraction. With enough quiet time and space to breathe, you can seek out the answer within yourself. It was there all along.

8 of Pentacles is a great card too. Pentacles are associated with earth, so they have a connection to earthly possessions and can signify wealth. Hard work is paying off with this card. If you've been working on something diligently the light is at the end of the tunnel. Look at all those stacked coins! Girl, you got this.

As an introvert and diehard list-maker, to me, these two cards are a message that it's time to keep your head down and trust that your hard work will be rewarded. Here in Minnesota, it's still winter even if it's meteorologically speaking Spring. Our solitude time is coming to an end, but that doesn't mean we have to give up the self-reflection. Especially when it comes to taking some time to think of all we have accomplished recently.

Do these cards resonate with you at all right now? I'd love to hear about it! Post your comments!
