Pluto was the god of the underworld and death.
He was depicted holding a bident, and sometimes a cornucopia.
Hmm. What does a symbol of wealth and fertility have to do with the realm of the dead?
Treasure never stops accumulating beneath the earth. Everything is there.
In ancient times, people noticed the paradox of renewal:
A seed must die for a stalk of grain to grow.
On one hand, the earth absorbs and digests everything in the world, turning it into potential form — primary matter.
On the other hand, it tirelessly gives rise to new life. This treasury can never be exhausted. In giving, it simultaneously receives.
It seems, then, that fertility and death are two sides of the same phenomenon.
The conclusion writes itself:
Abundance hides precisely where nothing exists, and nothing can exist.
Or: don't look for wealth among already existing, explicit forms.
Wait. Then how do you find your way? We're talking about the unknown.
A vague curiosity will guide you. A sense of concern. A pull. An interest.
What I've said above may help you stop looking for justification and guarantees.
Start paying more attention to what-is-transforming-within-you.
Sincerely yours,
