“Let me meditate on that Great Flame. May Fire bless me with higher intelligence. May Agni illuminate my mind.” — Agni Gayatri Mantra
The Hierophant is the prime message, delivering this important note: you are in the seat of solution this week, separate the fire of spirit and deliver it into matter. What you have realized needs to be transmitted, this may feel creative regardless of the message or the material with which you choose to deliver it, but be careful in the process, it requires attention. Attention is a gift, in this case given to yourself. In the process of exploring what you feel, think, and are driven to bring into the world, and make space and time for the methods that can take a simple dump of information and transform it into Art. Elevate your message when the creative fire comes, it will require skill to successful transmit it.
King of Pentacles appears as a Woman King, She is enthroned in the wealth of her nature that has been carefully cultured, through the Art the Hierophant teaches, and elevated Her passion from simple fire play, and made use of the metals of Her life to create richly and abundantly. She teaches the proper use of Wealth management: Wealth of Spirit and Elements (thoughts, feelings, energy, interaction, time and matter). She asks us to look at the Four F’s (Flag, Flax, Fodder, and Frig) of our life and take a measure of where we spend ourselves, and what the true cost is. She also asks us to think about the future with more acute eyes of management in mind.
Her position is of power in the world, brought about by her own self transformation, which is both realization and agency to not only live as but to create from that realized place of transformation. Her material is governed. It isn’t accidental, and even when (as it should be) guided by Spirit, it is by Her hand it is made. She says look at the details but don’t become over focused on them.
And as a final thought on this process of reading this week, if you can take only one thing away, let it be this. Be the change. The King of Pentacles is transformed by the information of the Hierophant, in their transformation, the world is transformed. So if you are seeking change, difference, or launching something new, recognize that it starts and ends with you.
Tools: Management skills. Mindfulness. Taking the measure of all things. Making time and space, mindful of pace and practice, and that communication is key; with each other, with our ideas, and also with ourselves about the way in which we maintain the whole and the parts of our life. What needs care and attention.
Tip: Meditation as means to communicate means we must open our eyes and compare vision to reality. Writing, Art, Inspiration become wisps if we do not strike metal to the forge, pen to paper, brush to canvass. Act. Feel, be inspired, and act — most importantly, plan the actions. Write details, make maps, learn, experience, explore, practice before implementing. Process is part of the creative act.

How to use make the best of Tarot Synergy?
Trust what words and sources you are drawn to, listen to yourself, and be open to the light that seeks to guide you.
When I get a reading, or I am attracted to the oracles form someone else, I usually make notes and review during the week, they are pieces of a puzzle and invitations for deeper personal understanding. You may find that some of the words or information in the Tarot Synergy act as keys, connecting to other doors and unlocking magickal information for you. These might resonate with a favorite astrologer, another reader, or your own card draws. Rather than look at readings as definitive unto themselves, look at the information you are attracted to, and write out the pieces that click, or distort, and see what that brings up for you in a journal.
My attention in readings is usually to find a current of energy that is trending strongly, and follow that. I give general prompts with open space for your details to fill in the blanks. You personalize the reading for yourself, but investigating it in your own framework. If people want deep reads you are invited to connect with your oracles, inner wisdom, or preferred reader to expand on the message and help guide you through it.
Trust the lights that guide you, the body of wisdom that you are, and the consciousness that is Nature, and Earth, that is tickling your magickal awareness.
