Animal: Mouse
Key Words: Scrutiny.
Description: This is the tactile ownership of knowledge energy. The experience must be felt, analyzed and scrutinized in order to understand it completely. Details are important to pay attention too. It may feel that the insignificant issues in life are the biggest thing on your mind. Danger may be lurking at every corner and others may see you as nit-picking at the smallest details. You may see the simplest task as being too difficult to attempt or you may feel that you have to put everything in order so you can explore it at a later time. The mouse energy drives you to get deeper and deeper into activities that compartmentalize everything in life. You are encouraged to not focus so deeply and accept that there are so many more aspects to life. If it feels good, pay attention to details on legal contracts, agreements, exchanges, purchases, services along with your choice of words and offerings.

Suit: Coins
Words: Matter, money, work.
Description: This suit of coins is directly related to the energy of matter and how we use it. Like clay, matter is used to help build our experience in this life. Yet, matter by itself lacks the pizzazz of human input. Shaping matter takes time which draws in the element of exchange, or money. It also draws up creativity and imagination. This energy represents what people ‘work on’ and ‘shape’. It is what we related to or find what we’re in dissidence with.

Key Words: Perfectionism, lacking ambition or focus, thirst for recognition.
Key Feelings: That feeling when you recognize that you can sing and then you focus on perfecting the notes rather than the music.
Description: Reversed, this card signifies that you are up against a period of time where you could get trapped in trying to reach perfection when your mind will not define what perfection is. It is a crippling energy that forces your attention into the smallest of insignificant details which can’t be measured or qualified. You may be consumed by the need to be recognized for your skill or because of your level of book learning, yet there is no acknowledgement that will satisfy you. Everything outside of your narrow area of focus will be neglected. If left unattended, you may be seen as the crazy old scientist that won’t come out of the lab.

Suit: Coins
Words: Subject to matter, stingy with time, unwilling to work.
Description: When inverted, this suit shows an inability to or resistance to the energy of matter and how we use it. Like clay, matter is used to help build our experience in this life, yet here, we might find that there is a lack of matter or lack of energy to manipulate it. Shaping matter may take more time or resources then there is available for sharing. Money might be tight. There may also be lack of creativity or loss of imagination in play. This energy represents what people want to ‘work on’ and ‘shape’ but find it difficult to do.

Number: 8
Words: Dictating, cruel, insensitive.
Description: Reversed, this energy brings out the desire to succeed at all costs for those business-minded professionals that have been elevated to positions of management. It empowers the darker side of a person to enhance their ability to be cruel, violent and insensitive. They will lead knowing full well that others will get hurt and that the desired outcome will not be what others want. Behind the scenes, they may tend to be more of a bully than a leader or they hide their devilish greed. At its worst, this energy activates the intolerant religious zealots.

Element: Earth
Words: Sticky, heavy, lifeless.
Description: Reversed, the Earth is heavy, sticky and foreboding. It is associated with the terrestrial world, but we find that the energies here bring seasons out of order, death where life is expected and unfertile situations. It adds a coldness to any sensual interactions or aspects of life. It may feel as if life is hell and that all what we experience is part of the great underworld. There is no resting, peace or calm. It is considered cold and dry, yet it binds with the strength of metal. It is the dreaded fall.
