Four of Pentacles
What exactly are you holding onto and what do you need to let go of?
The 4 of Pentacles is a card of keeping what you have and not letting go of it. Whether this be, as is implied by the pentacles… money or possibly something else in your life ie an outdated idea, emotions that do not serve you well or even points of view on a situation that if you don’t shift will keep the situation in status quo.
Look at the figure in this card s/he is hanging onto the tree for dear life. Each limb is attached to a pentacle and even though s/he is quite clear thinking as can be seen from the light above the head there is also a capacity here to be so caught up in one’s thinking that it doesn’t take you forward but keeps you stuck in outdated modes of action.
There is treasure in this card. Gemstones light the way to a pile of riches laid out spectacularly under the tree… almost growing within the tree and giving it sustenance. You may need to let go a little of your preconceived ideas in order to build your wealth or take advantage of opportunities that come your way without holding on too tightly to what you think you may or may not lose.
You have the capacity to go far. You will not lose anything if you take the risk… no apples are falling from the tree, nothing is rotting on the ground, nothing about this card speaks of loss. The path you need to take is softly lit and it will not be difficult to take the first step which is also illuminated from the 9 crystals placed around the treasure within the tree.
Even though you think you are protecting your own riches, talents or way of thinking there is something you are missing. It lays close to you just now… yet also out of reach… and whilst it is not in clear view yet this is only because you have been holding on so tightly to something that is an outdated model of thinking and beliefs that are holding you back that all you have to do is let go… perhaps one limb at a time and see where this shift in balance takes you.
The secret in this card is hidden within the upper limbs of the tree where 2 figures are merged within the branches…. look for these figures and contemplate what they may mean for you.
