Your Arcana Message For Today

Embracing a big positive change into your life requires courage in shedding away the old patterns that no longer serve you.

The Message of the Day

When talking about success, it is no surprise that many people immediately associate it with being industrious. Although there’s no denying that this is true, however, most individuals tend to forget one crucial element. With the King of Pentacles as the tarot card for the day, the message is heavily centered around success in all aspects—ranging from career, finances, business, relationships, and others. When it comes to business, paying taxes and gaining profit is not all there is when it comes to doing business or earning money in a general sense. Asset management plays a heavy role in industries since it is an integral component that sustains most, if not all, types of businesses in the modern era. Given the undeniable importance of assets, these largely determine the success of a company—only if it is effectively controlled via asset management.

Even the entire process of asset management has one vital aspect to take into consideration. Although it is a relatively new concept, its existence only started a few centuries ago; asset management steadily evolves decade after decade. In just a short period, the businesses present up to this day have provided us with an example that being open to change is the key to survival. It brings us to the question: What are the traditional beliefs we held on to that are no longer applicable today? Does the idea of change scare us? How do we shift this mindset gradually towards a positive one? By examining ourselves, hopefully, we can provide a direction in our journey towards embracing change.

What Needs to be Changed

The King of Pentacles is a minor arcana card that perfectly illustrates abundance and accomplishment. The King is the representation of a fully realized individual and a master in his respective field. As expected from royalty, he is seated on a throne filled with bull heads' carvings that resemble the zodiac sign Taurus. On the other hand, his robe has patterns of grapes and vines that symbolize richness. He is holding a golden coin with a star in the center of his left hand—a representation of financial wealth.

Meanwhile, a scepter of the same color is on his right hand—a symbol of his power. The King's facial expression and the direction of his eyes locked towards the ground suggests that his sights are fixated on his goal while remaining grounded to the earth by being humble. Now that the King has already achieved his aspirations, there is security and contentment in his mind. All of it was possible through his hard work, dedication, and discipline.

Even his surroundings indicate material abundance as more greeneries are sprouting at his feet and behind his back. This lush scenery marks the peak of his success. After putting in considerable time and effort, he is now finally savoring the fruits. The King is proud of what he has achieved, a role model for us to follow. Despite his financial feat, the King cannot be entirely complacent. Being not too complacent does not mean that he is insecure, fear of losing what he already has—but instead, it indicates a sense of responsibility. The King continues to monitor and plan his material resources from which asset management can prove to be the most useful.

Think hard about the significant changes you have to make in your life to start and maintain in carrying out asset management. There are undoubtedly old habits to let go of to make room for the new ones. Is it attachment to material wealth? Does it manifest by being stingy and hesitancy to spend even on essential items? Or does it come out in the form of hoarding of unnecessary things?

Asset Management as a Safety Net

Learning the basics of asset management can help us navigate the realm of finances, properties, and other kinds of resources. We take it from the experience of the King of Pentacles—achieving material success does not end there. Properly allocating resources for future use is essential for an individual's survival and his family. The hard work and time dedicated to accomplishing such milestones will be wasted once the person becomes reckless in handling wealth. Being in a state of material abundance may cause the person to slowly become self-indulgent—an inevitable trigger for one’s downfall.

Of course, you would not want the effort and time you spent to be flushed down the drain, right? You did not come such a long way, only for success to suddenly disappear just as when it has finally landed on your palms. The ideal course of action would naturally be taking concrete measures to preserve and extend this as much as possible—and this is the purpose of asset management. It takes a lot of discipline and consistency to make this happen. Once you've gone through challenging situations in the past, asset management may no longer pose many difficulties on your part.

Today’s Tip

Change does not happen overnight, just like how it takes time to build a business. And it is the same with learning asset management from scratch. You have already completed your journey in attaining prosperity in your life, and now it's time to begin another one. Lack of wealth and opportunities didn't stop you from reaching a financially comfortable life. The same applies to your deficiency in knowledge regarding managing assets. The earlier you start, the sooner you can enjoy the fruits of your labor.

No effort, coupled with appropriate intentions, goes unnoticed. In some way, you will be compensated for your conscientious attitude. You already know the arduous and slow path when you first ventured out for your journey. This new cycle that you are about to embark on will be pretty much the same. However, there is a big difference in experience and wisdom in turning your dreams into a reality this time. You allow that experiential knowledge to become your greatest asset in learning about asset management.
