4 Of Pentacles

General:

You may find yourself feeling anxious or fearful about money or a clinging to whatever it is that makes you feel safe. The key here is to try to realize that being anxious and grasping does not bring security. If any card in the Tarot relates to the old saying about “If you love something set it free…” this is the one.

Work:

You’re being cautious when it comes to work as you want to continue to put food on the table. However, worrying about your current circumstances will only increase your suffering. Free yourself from the burdens that are out of your control and only take action when your actions will be meaningful. In this way, you will have more joy in what you do.

Love:

When it comes to love you are scared. Either you are holding on far too tight to a situation or lover, or someone is attempting to do that to you. This clinging is not healthy. True love allows for space between the lovers instead of caging the other persons heart. If you are single and think that you are ready for a relationship, realise that you will undoubtedly have to step outside your comfort zone to make it happen. True love will not just drop out of the sky.

Finances: 

You have some understandable anxiety about money and are trying to hold on to every penny. There is a fine line between fear-based grasping and being accountable and deliberate about where your money goes. You can break this grip of fear by reminding yourself that no matter what your circumstances, there are people less fortunate than you. Try giving a little with an open heart, the amount is not as important as the act of giving itself. Often this can open the flow of prosperity and bring even more financial security back to you. We are all in this world together.

Health:

You need to let go of old wrongs and wounds to move forward. It also can mean that others are trying to hold on to you and your health in ways that are not good for you or them. Help your loved ones to see the truth, which is that not everything is in our conscious control. Meditation, particularly around issues of freedom and relaxation, is useful now.

Spirituality:

This is a time that you must look within yourself thoroughly for the places where you are fearful and trying to hold onto things. Nonattachment is freeing. Learn about the energy centres in the body and meditate on how yours are functioning. Be open to change, as change is the only constant in life. Start where you are now.
