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.
Justice
Upright
Justice, fairness, truth, cause and effect, law
The Justice card symbolizes justice, fairness and the law. You are being called to value your actions or will be judged accordingly. Take responsibility for your activities and stay ready for the consequences.
If you ask justice, then the Justice card is a positive sign that it will be served. You may be awaiting final judgment from the courts or a governing body. A decision will be declared shortly and you must accept it and move on.
The Justice card often appears when an important decision with the potential for long-term consequences should be made. Be aware of the impression your decisions will have on you and other people. Choose consciously by connecting with your intuition and seek for the solution that is most in adjustment with the highest good of all.
Finally, the Justice card is about the exploration of truth. Be prepared to dip into the dark waters and search what truth means to you. Be consciously aware of your truth and your belief about fairness. Get ready to challenge yourself and to discover new areas of your belief system.
Reversed
Unfairness, lack of accountability, dishonesty
The reversed Justice card can hint that inside, you know you’ve done something that isn’t morally right. You have a choice: you can cover it and hope nobody finds out, or you can take focused action to solve the situation by owning up to your mistakes.
Similarly, Justice reversed shows that you are not willing to take full responsibility for your actions and blame others for your mistakes. Assess your situation once more, trying to determine where you can take responsibility. Once you notice where you made a mistake, do whatever you can to make it right again. And you will free yourself from any guilt and empower yourself to make better decisions in the future.
The reversed Justice card can mean that your inner critic is in full impact. You may be evaluating your every single move and coming down hard on yourself. Show yourself a bit of kindness and compassion. We all make mistakes. Thank your inner judgment for trying to do best for everyone, but let yourself relax a bit and go with the flow.
If you are making a critical choice that will influence others, be aware if you are holding on to any discrimination or prejudice that could sway your decision unfairly. You may need to get more knowledge to make a balanced decision.
If you are engaged in a lawful circumstance, you may fear an unfair result. There may be legal difficulties or something that prevents justice from being served.
