Daily Reading – Light & Shadow – Queen of Pentacles / Five of Swords

Today we have the Queen of Pentacles in the light and Five of Swords in shadow. The Queen here is representing material abundance in a community sense, she is sharing her wealth and caring with her family and those around her. She is the protector of the physical world. The Five in shadow represents guilt over victory, and as the shadow to the queen it could be feeling uneasy about how that wealth was accrued, even if it’s being used for a good purpose now. The Queen heals this shadow through her caregiving, she does not hoard her resources, she puts them to good use.
