Angel Card Message: Two of Earth (guidance for feeling overwhelmed)

The fine line between being busy AND feeling downright overwhelmed is embodied beautifully by the Two of Earth in Angel Tarot. Earth represents our connection to more physical, material and educational pursuits.  

Whenever I see an Earth card show up in an Angel Intuitive Card Reading it shows me that the client has been thinking mostly about work, home, education or choices around abundance and prosperity.

Two's indicate a decision, a choice, a shift in perspective.  They also call for us to bring a more balanced perspective to a situation.  

Angel Wisdom for Investing in Yourself

Have you ever noticed how most people today struggle with seeing themselves as a worthy investment?

I sure have.

They’ll daydream about a course, workshop, class or weekend intensive they want to do and how it will greatly impact their current life, but when push comes to shove, it rarely happens.

In my experience it has nothing to do with the age old excuses of time and money. Although those are handy to use at times, the truth is there are deeper underlying beliefs around worthiness and success/failure.

In fact, it’s common to see someone spend enormous amounts of money, time and energy on another person (valuable commodities, indeed) rather than actually earmark money and resources for bettering themselves.

Angel Card Message: 8 of Earth (embrace the inner student)

The undeniable desire to learn more. An inner pull to pursue higher education, trainings, seminars, workshops, certifications, or courses. A deep longing for mastering a specialty or interest that you may have deemed “silly or frivolous”, yet you know that’s not true. Your eyes and heart are open to the unlimited possibilities this “soul gift” offers you of a rich and rewarding life.

Make yourself your most important investment

Do you struggle with seeing yourself as a worthy investment? Be honest. Because if you’re anything like most people, you’ve been told it’s better to give than to receive. Support others and put yourself second, help someone else shine and dim yours down because you don’t want to be seen as a “show-off” or a threat.

Pretty strong beliefs.

And powerful enough to stop most of us from feeling the freedom to truly invest in ourselves and see ourselves as worthy of our own time, love, education and support. You might be wondering what truly stops us from going all in, going for broke and shining our light. Follow along with me as I shed some light on this all-too-common dilemma.

Live your life as if you found Aladdin's magic lamp

Have you ever dreamed about having a day where everything literally goes your way? You found the lamp, drank the magic potion, won the golden ticket and… voila! Life is for you. Ideas easily pop in your mind. You follow hunches without hesitation. Your creativity is in overdrive and people shower you with praises!

Sound too good to be true? Think again.

There’s a card in the Tarot deck that, believe it or not, embodies the awareness of your potential. The card of being completely and totally absorbed in a creative endeavor that it literally takes on a life of its own and “flows” through you. The card that says YES to you embracing the expert, the master, the wise one. The card of Ka-ching! Without further ado, (drumroll please…)

Tired of Feeling Overwhelmed? Meet the Two of Earth

There’s a fine line between being busy or full AND being downright overwhelmed. This delicate dance of balance is embodied beautifully by the Two of Earth in Angel Tarot. The scales are temporarily weighted towards an imbalance between work, home, education or finances. Life has momentarily lost it’s joie de vivre, as the French like to say - our joy for life.

Wondering how to get the scales balanced? Stay with me.

Meet the Card of Good Fortune and Recognition

I absolutely love this card - the Three of Earth!  Why?  Because this is the "master craftsman" of the deck.  This is the card most of us long for and hope for - the treasured moment of recognition for your unique skillset is here.  The outside world is ready to acknowledge and reward the high-quality work that is seamlessly manifesting into physical.

The Earth suit, or Pentacles, in a Tarot deck has a focus on our financial security.  Our desire to make money.  Our need to pay the bills.  How we are getting our material needs met.  And, the type of material needs we desire.

Become a Master in the School of Life

I heard this analogy to life being like a school and having different classes with lessons and exams in it a few years ago. Personally, I like to think of it as Earth School. I know. I know. This sounds really wierd, right? Now, before you stop reading let me explain further.

My inner inquiry sounded something like this: How is my life and my experiences within it anything like school? I finished formal schooling years ago. What are these people talking about?

Tired of Feeling Overwhelmed and Under-appreciated? Try this sage advice.

Angel Card Message: 8 of Earth (invest in yourself)

Symbolically, the eight comes immediately after the seven in our soul's journey.  Again, eights are choices. Metaphorically, it symbolizes the infinity sign turned on its side.  

Now that you have been "awakened" to a new way of thinking and feeling, you are ready for the next step.  There is not one exact step to take.  

This represents a time to think expansively. There are unlimited, expansive steps available. None of them are wrong. Just shift your thinking from no choices to an infinite number of choices. 

In this case, the Eight of Earth's message coming through loud and clear is to pursue education.  This is the card of further study.  It could be in a completely new area or it could be to further dive into an interest you currently have.

Are You Ready to Kick Procrastination to the Curb?

Most people today feel frustrated or stifled by their current life situation. They feel strongly that there’s a whole other version of themselves that could live life even more fully and expansively. And when it comes right down to it, the other version of themselves has a specialty training, schooling or certification that would allow them to teach or share with others. Possibly in a way they long to do now, but are not able to.

What if… a future version of yourself showed up to you in a dream? And this future version of you is happy, smiling, laughing and content? She loves her life. She is absolutely living life on her terms. She has enough support financially to call her own shots so she’s not dependent on others.

She is in the sweet spot of being happy to be around others, yet she can choose to take some much needed down time when she feels the urge. She is also sharing and collaborating with others in ways that light her up.
