Although she was a daughter of Zeus, she was reputed to be quite irresponsible. She preferred to run about juggling a ball than to carry the Cornucopia filled with golden fruit, instead entrusting the task to her assistant Plutus. The first set of dice were found in Tyche's temple perhaps indicating the capriciousness of life and luck and the fickle manner in which she decided the fortunes of mortals. HER MODERN ENERGY "Fortune" has a broader implication than material wealth. It is also intrinsically connected to the vagaries of fate and the degree of luck one encounters in life. On another plane again, it is also about the growth of our spiritual, physical, mental selves, and those of our neighbours. As the wheel of life turns in its endless cycle, Tyche bestows protection, prosperity, success and good luck. Or not, depending on her mood. If you are feeling that luck is passing you by, now is the time to invite Tyche's energy to work for you, not against you. Have you ever noticed the phenomenon that the more you give away, the more comes back to you? This is the Universe's circle of providence, unceasingly ebbing and flowing karmic energy and abundance. If you want to increase luck in your life, you need to create it for others, thereby promoting an abundance of good fortune in the Universe. DO THIS Identify someone around you who is in need, and ways in which you can help improve their fortune. It doesn't need to be a material contribution. It could be a helping hand at your local school or a well-timed compliment to boost a colleague's sagging ego. Maybe you could volunteer for an environmental cause, or contribute resources (time, money or knowledge) to a community project. Act with joyful intentions, not for personal gain. This is very important if you want to attract abundance into your own life. Carry dice to keep Tyche's energy at a conscious level. Yours in love and light, ~Anita~ source
