rise and shine loved ones it's bernadette i am here with your friday
friday pick a card tarot reading and it is january 7th 2021 this is a really interesting card to
come out on a friday because you know friday is all about the throat chakra communication it's
love the ruling planet is venus um and when when i started like down i like okay so the card came out
and i immediately went into like that space i go into when i'm trying to download the messages
and and i kept wanting to do this i just kept wanting to to put my hands over my ears like no
no no i'm not listening to you like a kid would do right and um i thought god what is that all about
and then the spirit totem and power animals well they told me and i was like okay so
try to stay with me on this because i'm going to try to stay with myself on this
just because the message keeps going and it keeps going and it keeps going so first of all
the card for the today is the two of pentacles it's a chimpanzee but it is inverted
and when we're dealing with pentacles you know we're dealing with money
it doesn't always have to be money right but that really is a main thrust of the pentacles you know
suit um in the minor arcana in the rider waite tarot deck which is the deck that i pull from and
all the symbolism and tarot card meetings and you know that i use and then of course it's within my
own deck uh you know the animals that most wanted to be associated with that particular uh card they
they they said hey we want to do this and so that's the animal that went with the card which
with the two of pentacles is a chimpanzee because you know they're they're bipedal like humans are
they balance in trees and you know the two of pentacles is all about balance uh and so they will
even weigh and measure fruit when they're trying to build they'll pick up a couple of different
kinds of fruit and they'll look at them and then it almost seems like they're trying to weigh which
one has more it's this crazy ritual that they do it's fantastic so there are many many reasons that
the chimpanzee wanted to be the two of pentacles but inverted that's going to mean the challenging
aspects of chimpanzee and it's going to mean the challenging aspects of two of pentacles
and i promised you guys this year i would start reading with the reversed um tarot card meeting so
when you've got the two of pentacles and it's it's it's it's inverted it's reversed there's
there's just so much going on you can't even take a breath you just are like going and
going and going and going and going and things are really not great they're less than perfect
and you've got your game face on and you're doing your thing um but probably financially you've got
some things going you're probably in over your head and won't ask for help in whatever that is
and yes work hard play hard right in my you know work hard play hard i'm a bit i'm a big advocate
but sometimes it's time to back off on both of those and stop living on the edge so much um
it is uh this is not a good time to do that and what that really brings me to is because fridays
are the love day and that is romantic love family love um love for yourself love for your friends
i'm wondering what what is getting neglected in your family or maybe you're the one getting
neglected in the family because someone else is out of balance they're inverted they're um you
know chimpanzees are all about the inner child and playfulness and creativity and inventiveness and
when we're just so so so overloaded and things are like trying starting to slip out of our control
because there's just so much going on it can be very difficult to find that within ourselves to be
um to be childlike and to laugh and to play and to have fun like you know a barrel full of monkeys so
i am i don't know you guys i'd say take a really good look at that and and see where the parts
are in your family that you can either be the facilitator of more fun because you're the one
that's out of balance and maybe you're the one that's spending a little too much money
or you're not budgeting wisely or maybe this whole covid thing has got you in a place where
finances are like a thing um excuse me pardon me do do whatever sacred work you've got to do around
making this uh two of pentacles work for you to to flip it more upright and if you've never heard
that before uh because i work you know i teach a lot and tarot students are like what what they're
like what do you mean flip it upside down or flip it right side up you mean like in a reading if
you don't like it you know that it's come upside down or reversed or inverted in a reading you just
do that i'm like no no no if the energy of something is something is a space you don't
want to be in and you who wants to be in the space of an inverted two of pentacles like
the world is probably not gonna fall apart right okay but no one wants to be uncomfortable
financially and no one wants to have their like you know stop having fun and just feel
like you're in a in a place where you you can't um you just can't catch up and the more you try
to catch up like the hurrier you go the behinder you get if you've ever heard that that's this card
well remember chimpanzees they share a 98 dna um you know with humans and they're the studies
that have gone on about you know now there was a study just recently in 2018 that that was able to
prove beyond a percentage that was just chance like 87 or something that chimps use the same
physical um body reactions that pardon me all that our ancest it's throat chakra day
and my throat chakra is like all of a sudden just um there's a reason for that i'll get to
that i don't know what it is i'm asking to be shown that so uh that they use like you know
doing this with their mouth when they're hungry um all kinds of other things that actually our
ancestors used and within the wild there's oh please come on there's about a bajilliondee
studies that show that you know they copy even fashion right there was a a chimpanzee just
a few years back that for reasons unbeknownst to humans you know because people get all wiggy about
the whole anthromorphism thingy they don't want to assign human emotions or whatever to animals
okay what if we actually got our emotions from animals a video for another time but this
this sweet little girl uh bonobo i believe she tucked a blade of grass behind her ear and the
next thing you know the entire the entire you know everybody in her family had a little blade
of grass stuck behind their ears and so um you know certainly they've been known to have rituals
um they've been observed and studied to have rituals they you know they're all about family
you know you get it right so but they also have kind of the temperament of a two-year-old so
whenever i see chimpanzee inverted i know that somebody is maybe lacking a little bit of maturity
um in the in the whatever that card means for them or whatever that animal means for them
and that that can really be maturity in just that you know you take to pitch in a fit because you
don't want to do whatever um that usually happens to me around tax time i get to pitch in a fit
about taxes oh lord you don't get me started but uh and it's a two-year-old i know i gotta
pay him i don't even know why i still pitch a fit at this time i should that that just that's just
me that doesn't hurt anybody but me so that and it's the same kind of thing with a two-year-old
so there might be you know maybe there might be a call for you at this moment to take a look and
see what kind of immaturity are you displaying for yourself with the whole no i want to do it
myself um which is inverted that's the two of pentacles that is classic two of pentacles i'm
overloaded and i'm not asking for help but don't you try to help me i'm doing it myself
and then also what kind of immaturity are you showing with money right um and that can be
anything that that can be that can be anything including you might think that immaturity is um
you might think that immaturity is all about the um the overspending but sometimes immaturity can
be about it's mine it's mine it's mine it's mine and it's just gathering it up because you don't
want anybody else to get your stuff right so take a look at that um take a look at that moving on
when it comes to the two of pentacles and the chimpanzee reversed well the two of pentacles
um just from metaphysical correlations is you know clearly the number two so when you take a look at
the numerology um meanings for the number two that's when you know the one comes together and
it makes the two now in theory that should be a very balanced thing one and one is two right
okay but what if one and when one and one come together in theory one and one should be equal
but now what if we're talking about people and now if what if you're bringing two people together
okay that you get the balance there you're coming together but how long how long is that
gonna last and are you are you people that make good matches together
you might come together for everything there's a reason and a season right
so don't be all freaked out if this card especially because the two of
pentacles is inverted don't be freaked out if there's some kind of like relationship
that you might have thought when you first started is like the second coming right ah this is the one
or this is the job this is the company this is the thing and pardon me all this throat chakra
thing i got to see what this is i even wore my blue so i could have a throat chakra do its thing
if it's as simple as this is about communication all right spirit animals you ain't funny but um
you may not you may find that this number two is not the perfect pairing for you and shenanigans
are happening it's really important that you have the maturity to take a look at the shenanigans
and put a stop to it before it does you or anybody around you damage all right so i'm just
i'm asking really what the throat chakra thing is and i the only thing that i can think of is
oh duh okay so y'all okay in all of this that we're talking about because throat chakra is
the ruling chakra of the day and we're talking about love and we're talking about inversion
there might be some maybe some communication that you're either receiving or giving that it is not
all that like oh say maybe a fib or a lie or maybe you're just fooling yourself or trying to fool
other people i don't know but there's something going on with communication about money or
communication about your involvement in metaphysics meaning pentacles are the number
five or air fire water spirit maybe you are having a tough time um thinking about how to communicate
that you want to be involved or are involved in the metaphysical world to your loved ones friends
or family there's some kind of discussion and you're feeling uncomfortable because you're not um
you're just not confident like what they're gonna think and so see how my throat chakra just cleared
right up bam and that's what happens when you deliver a message when you've got what the rest
like the total message out we're good so think about that communication thing um think about all
of this it's not supposed to be a heavy-duty thing for a friday it it will seem like it but that's
because you've you've got some stuff to clear up before you can move into your weekend of fun and
frivolity and oh wait going back to flipping the card upside down okay so when you give this for
somebody in a reading or you've gotten this for yourself the idea is to turn that energy around
which means turn the card around so if all of these things are coming in and we see as
truths within you you're going to want to work on this on an energetic level those things that
are truths is for you you're going to start to set your intentions you're going to do your
you know your sacred work and anything that's going amiss or awry wrong negative give it give
it give it a label if you have to you're going to start to turn that around by your intentions and
intentions lead to actions and that's how you turn a card around and you can explain that to a client
which is way more helpful than trying to tell a client you know well you need to change this
people know they need to change you don't need to tell them they need to change just like
i didn't need to tell you you don't need to do this you didn't like that did you no
but what i can say is it could be really helpful to your practice as a reader
if you would consider explaining it to a client in that way it takes the pressure off of them
and puts the onus of responsibility onto the tarot card and onto the spirit animal and that's
something people can get behind until they're at place where they can just take that responsibility
all on their own so i hope this has been helpful pick up your copy of the ark animal tarot and
oracle deck um please subscribe to my youtube channel and i will see you over the weekend oh
whatever you do today whatever you're considering today do yourself a big favor and stay wild
