You need to work on your confidence and build your actual self esteem rather than hoping magic will fix it all. However I think this pentacle is, in fact, doing it’s job if you’re making the effort to dress up more and take care of yourself, as well as becoming reserved. Sometimes personality shifts happen, but without confidence, being reserved can come across as awkward or pathetic.
It could take a longer time to work, depending on how much work is needed to be done. The first pentacle is simply for commanding the spirits of Venus, so it could depend on how much work for them and you is required to get your specific desires. Love and desire aren’t the only things spirits of Venus are good for, so they could be trying a variety of things, such as creating changes in you, or trying to sift through men until one likes who you are.
Feel free to try a different pentacle more specific to your desires, but I think it is working.
I appreciate your feedback! I did not start this work in hopes for it to fix anything because it is not so much of an issue of self esteem, but the fact that my job is very attraction based so I wanted a booster there. I’m new and I want to attract more returning clients, as well as make friends with my coworkers. I’m also taking dating more seriously than I was last year and wanted to add more spice to the relationships that have already been sparked. I was worried about this work because I wasn’t feeling like my usual outgoing self. However, I think my self esteem has definitely come into question, because I’ve realized since starting this work that part of the reason I was being so “outgoing” was because I was trying to convince people to like me- which is pretty pathetic, in retrospect. Your prospective is one I hadn’t considered. I particularly hope the pentacle continues to create changes within me as you suggested, because I want to undergo a lot of growth this year!
