Knight of Pentacles as the card of the day
His horse stands almost motionless on the plowed field, because this knight doesn't chase lightning, he moves at his own even, dependable pace. Today your strength is in staying constant, not in moving fast, so do your work slowly and surely and it will arrive where it's meant to. Hurry is not your companion today.
