It's the economy stupid

I saw this spread on firefrost's blog and decided to give it a try. *cards pulled on 2/1*

What have I done well?
3 of Swords
What do I leave behind?
7 of Cups
What do I take with me?
5 of Pentacles

I think I have done a good job of identifying habits that are unhealthy (and therefore cause sorrow/pain) and a result I will be leaving behind indulgence in fantasies (delusions?) that produce little result. Now about that 5 of Pentacles. I have been getting that card a LOT lately. I just checked--4 times in my last 13 three-card readings. It doesn't paint a very rosy picture. However...I have decided to stop taking it personally. I think this card represents the poor state of the economy as a whole and I just need to get used to the fact that it's going to stay that way for a while, particularly since I work in banking.

On that note, I decided to shuffle again and draw 2 new cards (keeping that miserable 5 out!) *cards pulled on 2/4*
Why do I keep getting this card? 10 of Cups - As a reminder to count my blessings. For the most part I have not been personally affected by the downturn, and more importantly, I have people that love and care about me. I honestly see that in the 5 of Pents too. I can hear those people saying, "No matter what, we still have each other."
What, if anything, can I do about it? X Wheel of Fortune - Confirmation that this is pretty much beyond my control. I really can't do anything to change it, so I have to just roll with it. I can't think of any other card that would be as convincing. Thank you tarot, you amaze me once again.

  2. That makes perfect sense to me also. What with you even working in the banking industry. I think you're definitely on the right path with this reading and reasoning as to why you're getting the 5 of Pents alot.
