From the Sun and Moon Tarot, the Six of Pentacles; from the Jade Oracle, Tezcatlipoca:
Being Thoth-influenced, this Six of Pentacles is given the keyword 'success.' While it does imply stability in the realms of health and finances, it goes a step further. At this point, there have been both gains and losses, and a wiser understanding of of the natural flow of things in the material world has developed. With such an understanding, it can be easier not to hoard but to offer any excess to others. Tezcatlipoca means ‘smoking mirror;’ this name referred to the obsidian mirrors that were used during ceremonial divination. This god was constantly in conflict with his brother Quetzalcoatl; both were creators of the world but often worked in opposition to each other. Tezcatlipoca's card suggests our emotions have clouded our judgment about reality. Instead we can take "self" out of the situation, dropping our agendas, opinions and assumptions to see what is real and what isn't. We're likely to then gaze upon the world with a kinder, more generous heart.
