4 of Pentacles

Introduction

This is for Thursday, April 8, 2010.  Still catching up...


My Intuitive Interpretation

The 4 of Pentacles, for me, is about being selfish and miserly.  It's about holding on to things that you should share.  It's all about "me, me, me". It can also be about the fear of "letting go".


What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case:  Earthy power, physical forces and skill in directing them
• Golden Dawn:  Gain of money and influence
• Gray:  Gain or loss
• Kaplan:  The miser
• Waite:  The surety of possessions, cleaving to that which one has

Psychic Revelation
4 of Pentacles


My Interpretation for Today

This may be further to yesterday's 8 of Swords.  I am fearful to let go, even though I know that I should (and very much need to).  Perhaps I need to let go of the way things were and see the way things are and go from there.  Maybe I can't, right now, let go of the situations I know that I need to let go of, but my attitude about them needs to change.

The Emperor

Introduction

This is for Thursday, April 1, 2010.  Still catching up...

My Intuitive Interpretation

The Emperor is very practical, sometimes stern and advises that, at this time, thinking is definitely necessary...more so than feeling.  You need to get disciplined, organized and logical...kick things into high gear and get it done.  Sometimes this refers to an older man -- probably someone you need to listen to, for he is wiser than you are.


What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case:  Watchfulness, vision, vigilance, examination, analysis, leadership, strength
• Waite:  Virile power, stability, power, protection, realization, a great person, aid, authority, will, compassion

Psychic Revelation
The Emperor


My Interpretation for Today

As evidenced by the number of Major Arcana cards I've received lately, including this one, lots of things are happening for me.  Sometimes I do tend to over-analyze things, but sometimes I do all of my "thinking" with my heart.  Since lately I seem to be leaning more toward the heart, The Emperor steps in to remind me that  analyzing the situations might be good right now, as my heart seems to be jumping around A LOT!  I need to keep that in mind during this time.

4 of Wands

Introduction

This card is for Tuesday, March 23, 2010. Still catching up...


My Intuitive Interpretation

The 4 of Wands, for me, is about celebrating. Sometimes it's about recognition for your efforts and sometimes it's just about fun times. Social events are often noted, particularly weddings and parties of all sorts.


What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case:  Perfected work
• Golden Dawn:  Settlement, arrangement completed
• Kahn:  A fortunate partnership, a satisfying project, friends, work that is enjoyed
• Waite:  Domestic tranquility, prosperity, peace

Psychic Revelation
4 of Wands


My Interpretation for Today

I had a job interview on this day and I spent a great deal of time detailing my accomplisments.  I realized that no matter how I feel about where I am now, my accomplishments mean a great deal to me.  They are important. They define me.  And at this point in time, the celebration of those accomplishments is what keeps me focused and positive on what I want to do.  I am beginning to think more and more that a traditional job is something that might not work for me.  I've been speaking about it for weeks, thinking about it for months, and I have started formulating a plan.  This was also the day when I spent some time chatting with someone new whom I really like.  He was responsible for putting me at peace somewhat.  Although my day was highly charged still from the day before, the time I spent talking to him was very relaxing and nice.  Things, too, are going well with my work project.    All in all, the influence of the 4 of Wands was very good on this day.
