What does the four of pentacles mean?

The Four of Pentacles is not moving….

First, just look at the card, it says it all. The man looks like he can’t move because he’s having to/or choosing to hold onto four pentacles. 

Pentacles represent the earth element.  The number four makes up the square, stability, solid ground, the basic foundations are in place.  Coins represent the energy of money as well as our physical energy.

So we can ask ourselves is this a situation where consolidation is needed.  i.e we need to hold onto our energy?  Is this card speaking to the health of our physical body or to the practicalities of our finances.  Perhaps this is a moment when we need to be careful not to expend more energy than we have.  Perhaps its not the time to branch out but more a time to hold onto what we have got.

Or perhaps we are holding on too tightly?   He does look rather stuck.  He can’t move keeping hold of two pentacles under both feet and another on top of his head.

I got this card this morning in answer to a general question about how to ‘play’ my health issue today. Receiving the four of pentacles immediately said to me, ground, consolidate, stay still, because I know the opposite can’t apply!  Funnily enough it also describes the stiffness in my hands, wrists, and arms as they aren’t moving well!

I pulled a tell me more and receiving the three of cups.  Celebration, connection, engagement, enjoyment…..which slightly made me wonder whether my abstemiousness is necessary??  Am going to have to figure that out over the day. 

I highly recommend everyone get their own deck of tarot cards and see what they tell you. I find them invaluable to my daily self care routine, along with a walk first thing in the morning, my breathe meditation and then I’m ready for the day…

Do have a tarot reading with me so that we can figure out what is going on and what is the best way forward and receive some wisdom insight and clarity from the Tarot.
