Tarot Four of Pentacles: Learn to Let Go (Simple Tarot Tips)

Okay, so today I decided to dive a bit deeper into the Four of Pentacles card in my tarot deck. I’ve been trying to get better at interpreting cards beyond just the basic meanings, you know? Really connecting with them.

Getting Started

First, I grabbed my favorite tarot deck – the one with the really beautiful artwork that just speaks to me. I shuffled the cards while thinking about a general question: “What do I need to focus on in my life right now?” Not too specific, just open to whatever the cards wanted to tell me.

The Draw

I laid out a simple three-card spread – past, present, future. And guess what popped up in the present position? You guessed it, the Four of Pentacles.

My Interpretation Process

My initial reaction? Honestly, a bit of “ugh.” I usually associate this card with being stingy or overly controlling with money. But I know there’s more to it than that.

I spent some time just looking at the card. Really taking in the imagery.
I jotted down some keywords that came to mind: stability, security, possession, control.
Then I tried to connect those keywords to what’s going on in my life right now.

Digging Deeper

It hit me that maybe it’s not just about money. Maybe it’s about my energy and time, too. I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately, spreading myself too thin. I have been holding on so tightly to all project and offer, afraid to let go of anything.

The “Aha!” Moment

So, the Four of Pentacles, in this case, might be telling me to re-evaluate where I’m investing my resources. Not just money, but my time, my energy, my focus. It’s about finding a balance between holding on to what’s important and letting go of what’s no longer serving me and making space for new opportunities.

Putting it into Practice

I’ve decided to spend the next week really paying attention to where my energy is going. To say “no” to things that don’t truly align with my goals. And maybe, just maybe, to loosen my grip a little and trust that it’s okay to let go sometimes. It might be make space for new good things.
