ABUNDANCE

ABUNDANCE

Abundance is usually the desired state. Abundance of money, of time, of opportunity, of relationships, of customers. Abundance is a mindset before, and even more than, it is a reality. There is a healing component to abundance; it is the proof that the dream that may have been so daunting is actually possible. Abundance becomes the fuel to continue, providing comfort and confidence that the sun will shine again, even when it is dark or cloudy. To achieve abundance as an entrepreneur is something that should be celebrated, especially as maintaining it and continuing to ride the wave present new challenges. Consider what you may have needed to work through on the shadow side of scarcity in order to truly appreciate the abundance of the daylight phase. As our strengths are often our blindspots in overuse, abundance can lead to over extension, overwhelm, and apathy. Be intentional about recognizing and celebrating abundance, as it is a vital element in entrepreneurial resilience.      

Sun

Navigation through Death, the Devil, and the Tower with only brief respite with Temperance and the Star, is the most arduous stretch of The Fool’s Journey. While the Moon aligns the Fool with intuition, the darkness of night and presence of shadows can be unsettling. The Sun heralds the home stretch, indicating that victory is assured, the path has been lit. The Sun brings purpose, joy, clarity, relief, and reminds us that abundance is possible. All cards in tarot have light and dark, and the sun can burn with overexposure. The cyclical nature of the sun and moon, like abundance and scarcity, need to be strategically leveraged to support ongoing success. 

Questions to consider:

• How are you living in abundance?
• What can you celebrate?
• Where might you be risking burn or overexposure? 
• What perspective do you need to keep in mind to return to a mindset of abundance when things are feeling scarce?
