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.

Knight of Pentacles

Introduction

This is for Monday, April 5, 2010.  Still catching up...


My Intuitive Interpretation

Knights are generally people or ideas that come around for a short period of time, do what they have to do and leave.  Pentacles have to do with stability, practicality and responsibility.  For me, the Knight of Pentacles suggests that taking care of the mundane, practical aspects of life will help keep other things in line as well.


What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case:  Laborious, patient, dull young man
• Douglas: A crusader or upholder of established tradition, practicality
• Grimaud:  Fortune or attainment cannot come from laziness, success due to force, perseverance and will.
• Thierens:  Discreet aid in financial difficulties, advantage, interest
• Waite:  Utility, service, interest, responsibility

Psychic Revelation
Knight of Pentacles


My Interpretation for Today

Things seem very out of order in my home (practical matters).  The Knight of Pentacles is here to remind me that I need to keep things clean, organized and in shape.  I remembered these past few days that my turn to host Monthly Coffee is in less than a month.  I need to begin getting things in order for this... to make a plan.  My time to host is always an event for me.  Perhaps getting things in order (like Feng Shui) will open up new possibilities elsewhere.

7 of Pentacles

Introduction

This card is for Saturday, March 27, 2010. Still catching up... 


My Intuitive Interpretation

The 7 of Pentacles, for me, has always been one of longing.  It's about working very hard at something, but coming up short.  Of continually trying to get what you want, but never feeling you're getting it.


What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case:  Success unfulfilled, delay but with growth
• Golden Dawn:  Honorary work undertaken for the love of it and without hope of rewarded
• Waite:  Business, money, barter, altercation

Psychic Revelation
7 of Pentacles


My Interpretation for Today

Things seemed to have gotten better on this day, but I was still feeling the effects of the previous few days. This was the end of a very long and difficult week. I did feel as if things were moving slowly and that I would never catch up, particularly financially, but in other ways as well.  

10 of Pentacles

Introduction

Just a note that I initially pulled the 6 of Swords, which I have already drawn this week.  I'm sure the influences of the 6 of Swords is still going on.


My Intuitive Interpretation

The 10 of Pentacles, for me, means that security and stability in all forms will be realized.  It means prosperity particularly in matters of money and work-related activities, so I'm hoping this will be good news for my upcoming job interviews.


What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case:  Wealth, riches, material prosperity
• Grimaud:  Success, agreement, complete joy
• Huson:  Stable home, family life, the house
• Waite:  Gain, riches, family matters, chance, an occasion which may be fortunate or otherwise.

Psychic Revelation
10 of Pentacles


My Interpretation for Today

I really need things to turn around financially right now and I do have a couple of things coming up.  But this card also indicates favorable activity in matters of love and homelife.  Overall, it's a very positive card and I do see things happening for me at the moment, at least financially.  At the very least, I remain hopeful.

King of Pentacles

My Intuitive Interpretation

For me, the King of Pentacles is very stable, responsible, knows what he wants, knows how to get and knows how to keep it.  The unfortunate thing for me is, this man seems really BORING.  He is also probably just the guy I need.  And yes, I do believe this represents a person and a specific person. I do think that this card came to me today because I need to give him a chance.


What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case:  Friendly, steady reliable (married) man
• Crowley:  Practical, energetic, capable manager, steadfast, competent, ingenious trustworthy, may appear dull
• Waite:  Valour, success in business

Psychic Revelation
King of Pentacles


My Interpretation for Today

So two days ago, I got the Queen of Pentacles and now I've pulled the King.  I believe this definitely represents someone I am about to meet.  We've been emailing for awhile, but it's been stepped up the last few days.  Today, we actually spoke.  He seems a lot like the King of Pentacles and that's not the type I usually go for...I do think that this card is telling me to give him a chance.  My "usually go for" types aren't working out.  LOL  I will keep you posted...or at least the cards will.

Queen of Pentacles

My Intuitive Interpretation

Another Court Card...the Queen of Pentacles could represent an actual person, but I tend to read them as archetypes of the card.  Pentacles typically represent stability, responsibility, money.  Queens tend to be be feminine (imagine that), and geared toward making a good home environment.  At this juncture in my life, I hope it's pointing to better days financially.  I could use that at this time.


What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case:  Generous, intelligent, charming
• Crowley:  Passivity, usually in its highest aspect. Ambitious in useful directions, kindness, greatness of heart, strong in intuition, domesticated, lustful
• Golden Dawn:  Impetuous, kind, timid, charming, kind-hearted, melancholy, truthful
• Waite:  Greatness of soul, generousity, security

Psychic Revelation
Queen of Pentacles


My Interpretation for Today


I think I need to amend my intuitive interpretation.  Perhaps it is pointing to better days financially, but it could just as easily be a card describing me at this moment in time.  I am very generous and have a hard time saying no.  It's just a question of who's asking and what they're asking for...

8 of Pentacles

My Intuitive Interpretation

The 8 of Pentacles, to me, is a card of appreticeship, of learning new things, of branching out of one's comfort level.

What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case: Skill in material affairs
• Crowley: Prudence, inteliigence lovingly applied to material matters
• Douglas: Concentration on short-term rather than long-term goals
• Papus: Partial Success
• Waite: Work, employment, craftmanship, skill in craft or business
• Suggested: Established power properly applied, the rejuvenation of fire

Psychic Revelation

8 of Pentacles

My Interpretation for Today

I begin a new project today, short-term, but in my area of expertise. It feels good to get back into the work that I love and this card suggests that I will probably learn some new things (as I usually do, which is why I love this work). Hopefully, this will lead to more work of this type, as it's been a rough few months. It also suggests that I branch out a bit and find new areas of expertise, to make myself more marketable.
