When I looked at these cards I was struck by the sense that I was being offered a special gift, something that will bring sunshine and happiness into my life.  But it will also involved a journey into the unknown; perhaps a journey within myself.  I've always liked that archway shown in some Ace of Pentacles cards.  In fact I would love to create a hedge with that type of arch at my house.  But what is on the other side of that arch?  It's not clear.  I've always assumed that it is the gateway to someplace special and filled with abundant growth, prosperity and other good things.  But maybe instead it's showing that I already have these things and if I walk through the archway I'll be entering into unknown, uncharted territory.  Maybe the coin or sun that I'm being offered is a talisman to help me along the way.  Either way, I think at this point the message isn't about an external journey but an internal one.

Coins/Pentacles can also be connected to the physical realm, to health issues.  And recently I've been realizing that while my health is good, it could be better.  I have hypothyroidism, type II diabetes, poly-cystic ovarian syndrome and I'm overweight.  The combination has he potential to create major health issues for me.  Right now the diabetes is well controlled (with medication) and so is the thyroid.  But the PCOS and weight negatively impact both those areas.  Losing weight isn't easy with PCOS but it can be done.  So this card might be telling me that it's time to try a new path to lose weight and exercise more.  I can achieve this goal if I focus my energies on it.

Another facet of this card might connect to my desire to take steps to establish a business as a professional reader.  It offers the potential for additional income (which is always appreciated) but it's also a question of manifesting something that means a lot to me.  But it is definitely unfamiliar territory.  That's part of what frightens me.  I have no way of knowing how this will play itself out.  I don't know what's beyond that hedge.  But I guess that part of the fun of the journey, learning new things and gaining new experiences.  And the fox paw and woman sitting on the cloud can be my guides through the journey.  But they can't help me if I don't take that first step.
