We have the power yet some of us need that reassurance and that's okay. If need be make it a mantra. "To the universe time is nothing but a man made construct. Things will come. I have the power to manifest all I desire."

The price of Tarot Cards has substantially risen. Decks cost anywhere from 20 to 100 dollars. Practical use versus collection. If we are talking unique collection? 100 plus. The last collectors deck I purchased cost me 200. The Rider Waite Deck costing twenty dollars, the same deck 3-5 years ago cost $11. I have noticed most decks has jumped in price 6 to 10 dollars. Sure you can find a deck for 14, and I have. But then we are talking low quality stock among other issues. If you have Tarot decks and do not use them, or want to part with them, do not toss them out and if you are gifted a Tarot Deck appreciate that, for the cost of inflation on such items it is in truth the thought that counts an amazing amount!

5 card draw. 5 of Pentacles 9 of Swords High Priestess, the Hierophant, 7 of Swords.
Here is how this would read:
Starting with the 5 of pentacles, this person seems to be crippled in whatever situation they are in. Perhaps comfortable in a victim mindset, or they literally believe that they have no one to aid them, trapped in a situation they see no release from. However, help is available whether they see it or not. Which brings us to the 9 of swords. This nightmare situation they believe themselves in for whatever reason, they have the control to remove themselves from, the whys they sit idle in this self made nightmare? Who knows. All they need to do is act. Which brings us to the High priestess and the Hierophant, there is this sense of a higher power, being a 'mother being' which controls or controlled a lot of aspects in this persons life. Although they know what they want and desire because they hear their subconscious, it is in there the truths they hide, they choose to ignore it. There is this falsehood of doing what is right, which has beat this person down. Whether they truly believe it or not, it is the social norm of the proper religious right or wrong. However, things aren't what they seem. This person is stuck in whatever environment they choose to remain stuck in, yet they are portraying things to the outside world that is very much false in their inside world.

Today we have the 9 of Wands with the Star.
Although some of us are feeling weary we find away to have that inner strength to keep moving. To some it may seem that we thrive in the conditions we are in because we persevere. But we struggle, don't we. We keep fighting the fight not knowing whether we will give in, or win. But the star is right there. He can see it, there's hope if we continue a little longer, it's not so much patience but willpower.
Whatever has been causing this upheaval will eventually subside, or at least lesson to a manageable level.
The collective number on this is 8, we purely continue because of our egos, mind over matter. There's this need to recoup, regenerate, this is an absolute decision maker.
