Readings
Two Cards
If you are trying to make a very important decision in your life and you don’t know which path to follow, if you are really doubtful about the consequences the crossroads tarot spread will help you to find your way.
Four of Pentacles
Upright
Saving money, security, conservatism, scarcity, control
The Four of Pentacles invites you to examine your connection with money. Are you saving money wisely while still enjoying your daily life? Or are you hopelessly sticking to every coin, scared to spend your money for fear that you do no could lose it forever?
In its most positive outlook, the Four of Pentacles implies that you have created abundance by maintaining a constant focus on your aims and working conservatively. You are mindful of your financial security, saving money and following your payments.
However, the Four of Pentacles typically characterize an insufficiency mindset, particularly with material properties. You are choosing to stock your investments, for worry you might miss it all. Money works best when it can transfer and exchange, not when it is being stockpiled. Try to find a healthy equilibrium between spending and saving, so you can experience the outcomes of your work but also save up.
The Four of Pentacles can also imply that you are putting too much value on material dependencies. You may be connected to physical things, allowing properties to become an important part of your life.
Beyond money and abundance, the Four of Pentacles appears when you are searching for more power in your life. You may be overly defensive so no one else threatens your relationship. On a private level, you may have a rigid approach and oppose change. Any idea of doing things creatively is, therefore, going to be met with opposition. So, staying in a comfort zone may be the way to go rather than taking any dangers at this point.
Reversed
Over-spending, greed, self-protection
The reversed Four of Pentacles can show up when you are estimating what’s essential to you, particularly when it comes to money and property. You may have placed too much importance on physical possessions and have now come to the understanding that they won’t make you fortunate. As a result, you may be releasing your hold on the need to surround yourself with ‘stuff’, and will be searching out more love and joy in your life.
The reversed Four of Pentacles can symbolize that money is slipping out of your hands and your spending amounts pass your saving habits.
Sometimes, the reversed Four of Pentacles can imply that you developed a greedy approach to money. You want more and more continuously. Look at the overall comparison of the cost versus profit, and evaluate whether your search for ‘more’ is actually bringing you the peace that you most crave.
Finally, the Four of Pentacles can appear in a Tarot reading when you are in a very protective mood. You seek safety, endurance and you are doing everything within your authority to create a solid environment for yourself.
Ace of Wands
Upright
Inspiration, new opportunities, growth, potential
Being an Ace, this Wands card offers you pure potential in your energetic realm. Impressions are flowing to you, motivating you to try a new path. You are open to getting new opportunities in life. An infinite possibility is accessible to you.
The Ace of Wands encourages you to live your passion. If you sense a strong pull towards a new path but are questioning it, then this card gives you a gentle push to proceed to your passion. Let your energy and dedication guide you.
Use your creative energy to take the first step. Even if you would like to plan out everything before you begin to step into a specific path, the Ace of Wands asks you to listen to your instincts. Start with some fundamentals to get things working, and then continue to develop. The essential thing is that you act now rather than wasting more time researching.
Don’t forget that the Aces represent pure potential but not guaranteed outcomes. The Ace of Wands (or any Ace) is an indication of a seed that has yet to blossom into something more extraordinary.
In a love reading the Ace of Wands signals desire and passion; things will be heating up! Your connection may take on a very sexual character at this moment, and the same time supports potential romances if you’re single. There is a good opportunity for rekindling the flames, and to feel more connected.
Reversed
An emerging idea, lack of direction, distractions, delays
The Reversed Ace of Wands hints that you can sense an idea rising from inside but are unsure what pattern it will take or how you will manifest it. You may have energy and passion, but you do not yet have a way to express them. You may be waiting for something to happen itself before you proceed to this idea. Or, you may not feel very confident and choose to keep your idea secret. All of these amazing ideas are appearing, but now you must find a method to provide this creative energy to set you up.
The reversed Ace of Wands can hint that you are finding it challenging to determine your mission in life and what you want to produce. To solve this stagnation, you need first to concentrate on where your true passions extend; there is no point in working towards a purpose if it does not excite you.
The reversed Ace of Wands may show that delays are preventing the progression of your projects. You are likely to feel very anxious. Timing is necessary for success, so be patient and wait for the best moment to move forward.
