Dec. 8th  

   Your discipline and your sense of responsibility find a favorable echo with the people who are close to you today. The force that the Pope exerts is beneficial, and under his influence your loved ones understand your need for security and are doing everything to reassure you as much as they can. By bringing you concrete proof of their love they are contributing to dispel your doubts and your anxieties on this day. Your professional ambition is being galvanized by the Devil and channeled by the Pope. This will help you to attain your goals today and to work efficiently and intelligently. You've got energy to spare, but by staying calm you'll be able to weigh the pros and cons of all your decisions before acting on them. It's a well balanced day with no risk of failure looming.

    Your love life is in the doldrums today, Cindy. The Tower and the High Priestess are having a destabilizing, even destructive influence on your relationships. If you've already got problems, things aren't about to improve. But if things are going well, take care the house of cards doesn't collapse. There's only one solution: stay calm and rational. Don't allow yourself to be overwhelmed by the aggressiveness and violence of people's emotions. At work, you're kicking up a fuss, doling out harsh criticism to those around you - and some people could react fiercely. Today you've got a gift for turning your friends in to enemies. Under the combined influence of the World and the Tower, you take ill-calculated risks and allow your aggression free rein. You'll get further will a more gentle approach.

    While a degree of control is valuable when things seem to be running amok, the Four of Pentacles suggests that one's efforts to bring order to chaos threatens to evolve into an overly conservative, inflexible attitude. It is a prompt to weigh one's level of control over a situation and to ask whether they are stifling their own, or others', creativity. Sometimes change is needed, and being closed to new ideas leaves one inflexible and unable to see new and promising possibilities....

    You'll be tempted to eat the forbidden fruit today! The combination of the Lovers and the Devil suggests that you have a passionate desire for two people, but are finding it quite impossible to choose between them, dear Cindy. Will your conscience be strong enough to keep you on the straight and narrow! In the professional sphere, you feel a mounting sense of frustration. There is still no end in sight for on-going negotiations, your projects are stalling, and you have the unpleasant feeling of being totally at the mercy of your superiors to get anything done. Try not to brood and see everything from the dark side (the Lovers), but instead exploit the powers of your imagination (the Star) in order to come up with an idea that will enthuse the people who are currently plotting against you.

     Queen of Pentacles

    Description: The Queen inwardly embodies the qualities of the suit of Pentacles, making her generous, reliable, tenacious and nurturing. She is an earth mother, similar in many ways to the Empress of the Major Arcana. She is like the ideal grandmother in many ways, one who is glad to see others and quick to invite them inside, out of the bad weather. She is both practical and sensible, one who takes care of problems quickly, and with little fuss simply because "it needs doing." Drawing the Queen of Pentacles is a prompt to inwardly emulate her, thinking and feeling as she does. Ask whether the self is coming from a space of warmth, caring, generosity and loyalty or allowing one to be humorless, distant, stingy and inconstant. The Queen can also represent an actual person, male or female, who embodies her traits, or an atmosphere of security and trust. Reversed she can indicate a situation or person that appears as supportive and trustworthy. But in reality this is not the case. She is one to be guarded against, and is capable of causing harm. Act with caution.
