Dollar Devotion

This week I'll be using the Tarot of the Absurd, created and self-published by Jessica Rose Shanahan. I'll also be using another self-published deck, the Post-psychedelic Cyberpunk by Masha Falkov. The draws for today are the Four of Coins and Random Number Generator:

Chaos was the law of nature; Order was the dream of man.

― Henry Adams

Sometimes the Four of Coins can mean we need to keep a closer watch on our health, finances and time. But putting a coin atop a pedestal and giving it a kiss says something else altogether. Devotion to money is often intended as a way to control life so that we get what we want. Money can be helpful, but this world is full of change and at times chaos. As Peter D. Schaller explains, "Systems that are 'chaotic' are sensitive to small changes in initial conditions, and are predictable in the short term, but not in the long term. The weather is an example." The Random Number Generator suggests we learn to accept the inevitability of unpredictability. Dr. Daniel Siegel advocates rowing our canoe between the banks of rigidity (attempts to control) and chaos (disorder). If we can integrate the two, without sitting on either bank, we have the opportunity to explore, experience new things, learn and grow.
