Death and the Pentacles | Richmond’s Tarot Destiny

by | Nov 7, 2024 | COMMUNITY, CULTURE

Dear Richmond,

Daylight retreats into the hour, and as the leaves fall into a pool of stillness– we are reminded: 

Chapters close, and like the phoenix, we begin again.

At the heart of this weeks spread is the Death card, surrounded by the Queen of Pentacles and the Seven of Pentacles. 

With the New Moon shifting out of mysterious Scorpio into brave Sagittarius on Sunday, November 3rd-5th – the balance between stability and change calls for our attention. The Death Card is here to encourage us to detach from old habits that may hinder our souls growth. Unexpected events and sudden revelations are often challenging to navigate, but in time, we come to realize that we have the necessary ingredient’s to weather the storm.

On November 6th-7th, the moon will take refuge in the sign of Capricorn. The Seven of Pentacles and Queen of Pentacles, both practical and responsible, shines a light on our finances as we move closer to the weekend. Many will feel called to a more disciplined approach regarding their personal and family budget. Others may find comfort and joy in spending time alone to energetically recharge before the moon leaps into the unpredictable sign of Aquarius, on Friday, November 8th-9th.

This futuristic sign will spotlight the Altria Theatre this weekend, as André 3000 performs his ambient, spiritual jazz album “New Blue Sun”. An album emphasizing the spirit of Rebirth. And like the seeds of the seven pentacles, that often require patience and tending to:

“Dreams Once Buried Beneath The Dungeon Floor Slowly Sprout Into Undying Gardens” — André 3000
