From the PetraK Tarot, the Six of Discs (Pentacles); from the Astrodice, Moon-Scorpio-6th House:
Humanity as a whole flourishes best when we all flourish together.
—Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi
The term 'trickle-down' economics originated as a joke by Will Rogers to criticize policies designed to favor the wealthy and privileged while framed as good for the average citizen. The truth is that we all lean on each other. Just let the shipping and waste industries go on strike for a couple of months and see what happens to the giant corporations. If anyone has enjoyed success, it is only through the unseen hard work of others that supported it. The Moon in Scorpio suggests intense emotional reactions and insecurity that can feel overwhelming. Yet the 11th House - the collective or House of Companions - is a reminder that there is emotional support available. But added to the Six of Discs, the question becomes: "Do we in turn reach out to others and ask them what they need, or are we too wrapped up in ourselves?"
The fear is often they will ask more than we can or are willing to give. So we stay mum. Just like the rich ;)
ReplyDeleteThe wisdom is in knowing that we don't have to give more than we can, only what we can.
