The Tarot of Eli 2, LLC: Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot- Four of Pentacles & The Prophet Tarot-4 of Pentacles.

#tarottraditionalqabalahelitarot2strikingly.com

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. Here he is the fortress that protects the city behind, law and order supported by eternal vigilance, but nothing beyond seeking security.

The Prophet Tarot- 4 of Pentacles, displays the 4 Pentacles, just as does the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot, the only difference is the silver and black motif. Four is the number used to display security, such as in "four walls". Therefore, this card is about the surety of possessions and cleaving to what one has. There is no significant difference in meaning from the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot. Both cards declare that one has been busy with a balancing act, tightly clutching money, and material things closely to feel some sense of security, safety, and stability. Here, it is suggested that you might loosen some of your grip/control, because all this stress about money isn't making you happy.

When the 4/Four of Pentacles is thrown in a divination, it implies:

• One Is owning their own personal energy, physical potency, and vitality. The very act of which proceeds change.
• Is experiencing a feeling of holding on tightly to what one has, emotionally or physically.
•  Is experiencing the enfoldment of Power. Here the Ability to Do Work (Power) is unfettered, and the engineer is active.
• The querent is taking solid steps towards creating material security in the physical world.
• Is experiencing the axiom of the 4, "nothing ventured nothing gained". Holding too tightly to what you have, and not taking risks of change.

If reversed, it implies:

• Is experiencing a blockage of creative thought due to avarice, or excessive devotion to material things.
• Compulsivity.
• Stubbornness.
• Stagnation.
