What keeps you from being together — destiny or just fears?

September 11. Today, the reversed card "Ace of Pentacles" fell out for you

The reversed Ace of Pentacles is here with some very sobering truth: no, destiny did not put those obstacles between you. It’s just that a foundation has never been properly laid. The card speaks of missed opportunities and the resources that were never invested. Sounds familiar? Well, it should. Looks like fear of failure, vulnerability, and sacrifice have starved your connection of the day-to-day nurturing any relationship needs. The reversed Ace looks at your bond and shakes its head in disappointment. How can you build something grand when you haven't even poured the first layer of cement first? 

In love, the upside-down Ace of Pentacles sees the realm of possibility never actually colliding with reality. Sure, there could be intense chemistry between you, but it is cheap when there is no consistent effort or defined commitment involved. It appears that one or both of you are waiting for a sign that will never come. The reversed Ace’s heart is aching. You don’t seem to see that love isn’t a lottery to win. It is a garden to tend.    

The reversed Ace of Pentacles as a feeling is the infuriating ache of stagnation. It’s as if you are circling the same hopes and doubts over and over again without moving forward. The unsaid promises weigh you down, the quiet resentment of carrying the emotional burden alone erodes your soul. This is no patience. This is paralysis.  

The reversed Ace of Pentacles as a yes or no is - you guessed it - a very quiet but persistent “no.” It’s not destiny that keeps you apart. It is fear that needs to be named. However, don’t succumb to despair just yet. Whatever fear built, courage can dismantle.
