Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith- Four of Pentacles
The Rider-Waite- Smith-Four of Pentacles Tarot card sticks to the mundane divination meaning of the Four of Pentacles which comes from the position of the Sun in Capricorn. Here light and warmth ensure material success; but nothing beyond the moment.
Smith illustrates this condition of assured material gain and earthly power completed, but nothing beyond. The powerful ruling personage is firmly placed, grasping a pentacle firmly to his chest, feet planted on other pentacles and one above his head, showing rule on the plane of matter, and a certain amount of possessiveness. He is dressed in the red of passion and wears the royal purple cloak. The Pentacles are the golden color reminiscent of the Sun. Here he is the fortress that protects the city behind, law and order supported by eternal vigilance, but nothing beyond seeking security.
The Fairy Tarot- 4 of Autumn
The Fairy Tarot, 4 of Autumn, depicts a scene of survival thinking and the power of illusion. Here a royal fairy is standing in front of a mirror, but she sees only lack. The facial expression on the royal fairy is one of confusion as she is seeing only her fear of not having enough. The caveat here is that you should reexamine your identity, for you are not truly seeing things as they really are. People often overdress, and decorate themselves with all kinds of bobbles, to prove how valuable they are, which is merely a camouflage covering their fear of lack. Her viewpoint of her own situation is clouded by fear and needs a reexamination of identity.
I Need More!
Therefore, you might feel you don't have enough when you are more blessed than you realize. This is often the case with media induced word hypnosis, the divide and conquer practice of the Military Industrial Complex whose goal is to create the "crazed consumer" by identifying happiness as the next "new and greatest thing". By dividing the equilibrium and harmony of the Spirit-Mind-Body trinity of Self, one is sent on a false journey of "happiness seeking" through accumulation. This seeking outside of self is an illusion as Happiness is Whole Self, a trinity of harmony and the real ruler over all that is manifest, not some false outside authority.
The traditional placement of the 4 of Disks card is the Sun in Capricorn. In astrology, the placement of celestial bodies in specific houses of the zodiac can influence various aspects of an individual's life. When the Sun is in the house of Capricorn, certain characteristics are associated with this placement. Here are some key traits:
Ambitious and Goal-Oriented: Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, which brings a strong sense of ambition and a drive to achieve long-term goals. Individuals with the Sun in Capricorn are likely to be determined and focused on their aspirations.
Practical and Disciplined: Capricorn is an earth sign, emphasizing practicality and discipline. Those with the Sun in Capricorn tend to approach life in a methodical and organized manner, making them well-suited for tasks that require structure.
Responsible Leadership: Capricorns often display leadership qualities and a sense of responsibility. People born with the Sun in Capricorn may find themselves in leadership roles, taking charge of situations and making decisions with a pragmatic approach.
Concerned with Reputation: Capricorns value their reputation and public image. Individuals with this Sun placement are likely to be cautious about how they are perceived by others and may strive to build a solid and respected image.
Patient and Enduring: Capricorns are known for their patience and endurance. When the Sun is in Capricorn, individuals may possess the resilience to overcome challenges and the ability to persevere through difficulties.
Traditional Values: Capricorn is associated with tradition and conventional values. Those with the Sun in Capricorn may hold traditional beliefs and appreciate stability in various aspects of life.
Career Focus: Career and professional success are often significant priorities for individuals with the Sun in Capricorn. They may be diligent workers, seeking recognition and accomplishment in their chosen fields.
It's important to note that the characteristics mentioned are generalizations, and the complete astrological profile of an individual involves consideration of the entire birth chart, including the positions of other planets, aspects, and the Ascendant. Individual experiences and expressions can vary widely.
