Today's card was Gorilla

Today's card on the Brotherhood Oracle was Gorilla. Here it is.

Gorilla — Brotherhood Oracle card
Abundance

Gorilla

The reading

Gorilla reveals you're blocking abundance by refusing to claim your worth and power. You dim yourself, play small, or apologize for wanting more because somewhere you learned that ambition, boldness, or self-promotion was wrong or dangerous. Reclaim that shadow today — your hunger for wealth is not greed, it's aliveness. You intellectualize your worth instead of demanding it. Ideas are worthless without payment attached.

Gorilla — today's pull

I keep a few rules for this. Set the first price yourself. It anchors every price after. Free is a different price, not a low one. Use it on purpose or not at all. Act like a king to be treated like one. Price and ask accordingly.

If you want the story behind why the deck talks like this, I wrote about it in why I built the Brotherhood Oracle.

Claim your worth. Name your rate.
