You have chosen the Empress and the Five of Pentacles. The Five of Pentacles shows that recently you've had no means of providing for yourself. You've felt as if all belonging you has been taken away. You've had to strip down to the bare essentials and things have been a little bit tough. You've been very close to the breadline. Now this could be to do with unemployment or your circumstances financially have changed. This has caused you to feel abandoned but you've realised you've gained a lot more from friends and help coming from people that you least expected it from. The Five of Pentacles is a very good friendship card and it's showing you that you've got rid of the people who you felt were friends, who you now find are no more than acquaintances - the people who have truly helped you are those who are your true friends. The Empress is telling you to value your possessions and the people around you. It talks about nurturing and looking after the things that you find are important. It's the mother figure so things are on the improvement for you right now with more wealth, health and happiness coming your way in abundance - the Empress is a very strong card that deals with the energies that makes things happen in our world, the provides us for a much cosier and more nurtured future so things are looking up - this is a time for you to look after your security of yourself and your loved ones and to be aware of the things that are important in life like friendships and values upon people who you love and care about. Money is not everything but take it away from you, it changes our circumstances leaving us with less choice. You now truly appreciate the people around you and you're going from strength to strength. You've been quite enterprising in these lean times and your heart has been filled with satisfaction for you've been aware of beautiful people, places and put a value on things. You've realised that the happy times are not all about financial gain. Indeed you've worked really hard at nurturing - tending to nature for you've realised that beautiful things, growing things and being fully creative and inventive when you have very little income has been hugely satisfying. It's not something you'd want for yourself for a long time for choices with more cash are always nice but you've learnt a lot: you've really learned the value of friendship as you've had to face such difficult times.
