Doorways

From the Tarot de St. Croix, the Nine of Pentacles; from the Archetype Cards, the Pioneer:

Sovereignty is deeply connected to personal freedom —the ability to live according to your own values, beliefs, and desires, rather than being swayed by societal expectations or pressures. 

—Kimberly Presley

Commitment and diligence in one's work as well as the ability to apply self-discipline when it comes to spending and saving can create a place of self-sovereignty. It doesn't mean we have a mansion with a butler and a maid, but it does mean we are at a place of material sufficiency; we now have more time to spend in pursuits that feed our spirit, not just our body. Pioneer asks us to embrace the innovative, to explore (internally or externally) areas that we've not had time to investigate before. Don't worry about making mistakes or learning about something that produces no harvest - they can also be doorways to discovery.
