All the red-hot motivation brought to you by Aries season is getting turned up a notch this week, thanks to bold and ambitious planet Mars<\/a> joining the sun in this cardinal fire sign<\/a> on April 9. With the moon in industrious and no-nonsense Capricorn at the same time, the latter half of this week is fabulous for putting some heat on your career goals and being a little more assertive about making things happen. Mars will be in Aries for the rest of this month and most of next, so this kicks off a whole spring journey that can inspire more financial independence and get you more comfortable taking the lead in your own life. Use this headstrong energy to your advantage when it comes to making financial and professional power moves.<\/p>\n

April 9 also marks the date that Mercury leaves its post-retrograde shadow period<\/a>, officially wrapping up the last lingering bits of its February-March retrograde cycle. This week\u2019s money tarot reading feels very aligned with this shift, indicating that you\u2019ll have numerous opportunities to rewrite your retrograde career story and recover from any snags that threw you off your financial game.<\/p>\n

Read on to see what the cards advise when it comes to your bank account and work life in the week ahead.<\/p>\n

Card 1: What do you need to know about your finances this week?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is the second time in the past month<\/a> that the Seven of Cups has shown up to offer its wisdom to the collective realm of personal finance, but there\u2019s a key difference between this time and the last. Now, Mercury is no longer retrograde \u2014 meaning there should be a little more clarity and fewer delays when it comes to moving forward on decisions that impact your income. Like the figure on the card who is gazing up at a selection of cups full of different tricks and treasures, you too have many different offers in front of you right now. You may have entertained some of these for a while now, but it\u2019s probably time to consider your options more seriously, moving away from the fantasy stage into a more pragmatic one.<\/p>\n

What decisions were you weighing regarding money or business affairs throughout Mercury retrograde<\/a>, and how did those pan out? Have you struggled to solidify a single path forward, or discovered that something isn\u2019t exactly as you thought it\u2019d be? Look over the options that have been presented to you over the past month \u2014 and perhaps the things you\u2019ve chosen to move forward on, too \u2014 and reassess what the best course of action truly is. You may have more insight now that can help you make an informed decision. But remember, don\u2019t get lost in the idea of a pipe dream. There are viable financial opportunities at your fingertips if you use discernment and think practically.<\/p>\n

Card 2: How can you feel less anxious about money?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Nine<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The Nine of Pentacles is one of the most luxurious, abundant, and materially successful cards in the tarot deck, depicting a relaxed figure draped in decadent textiles, admiring her fancy avian companion as she leisurely strolls through a lush garden. Having such a prosperous card here doesn\u2019t doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t have valid anxieties about your money situation right now \u2014 that kind of stress is very real and impactful \u2014 but it can be a good indicator that better and more comfortable times are incoming. This card encourages self-sufficiency and financial independence, and all the pleasures that can be more easily enjoyed when you\u2019ve built up a solid foundation for yourself.<\/p>\n

Regardless of what may or may not be coming up, another interpretation of this card is reminding you to take a deep breath and make sure you\u2019re enjoying the abundance you do<\/em> have access to. There\u2019s no minimizing the seriousness of any financial problems that are currently plaguing you. However, even amidst stressors, there are always ways to make yourself feel spiritually rich. You may not be dressed in expensive robes in a garden full of golden coins, but can you treat yourself to something special? Spend time admiring the beauty of nature, bonding with your pets or loved ones, putting on your favorite outfits, or taking your time with a luxurious everything shower and an at-home mani and pedi. The more you focus on gratitude and abundance, the more you\u2019ll attract your way.<\/p>\n

Card 3: What will impact your career this week?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Nine<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

We just connected with the Nine of Pentacles, but this reading has also brought forth the Nine Of Wands, in regards to career matters specifically. Nine is the last of the single-digit numbers, so it symbolizes the threshold at end of one cycle <\/a>before a new one begins. Unlike the Nine of Pentacles \u2014 which indicates having reached a point of comfort and material satisfaction \u2014 the Nine of Wands is about finally being able to protect yourself after a period of major struggles. The card depicts an anxious-looking and bandaged up character, whose appearance indicates that he\u2019s been through some difficult times. He clutches to a wand and looks over his shoulder suspiciously, but thankfully, he\u2019s behind a boundary of tall wooden swords behind him, indicated that he\u2019s finally reached some level of safety.<\/p>\n

You may have had to weather some storms at work lately \u2014 whether that\u2019s been a ruthless job search, unreached goals or slip-ups in your career, or just general Mercury retrograde messiness. Even though the most destructive parts of these storms have likely passed, you\u2019re probably still mentally in recovery mode. It\u2019s normal to feel a little paranoid, beaten down, and threadbare after dealing with a period of professional stressors or setbacks, so sleeping with one eye open might feel necessary right now. However, there\u2019s a difference between keeping your guard up so high that you lose all trust in anything and maintaining healthy professional boundaries to protect yourself during a vulnerable time. Focus on doing the latter and rebuilding some strength and faith in yourself.<\/p>\n
