Alright, let’s talk about this here 4 de pentaculos card, you know, the one with all them coins. It ain’t the fanciest card in the deck, but it sure does say a whole heap about holdin’ on tight.
What’s this card all about, anyhow?
Well, from what I gather, this card is all about keepin’ things close. Like, real close. See, there’s this fella on the card, sittin’ there with his coins. He’s clutchin’ ’em like they’re the last biscuits on earth. He ain’t sharin’, that’s for sure. And that’s kinda the whole point. It’s about holdin’ on to what you got, whether it’s money, stuff, or even just your ways.
- It can mean you’re good at savin’ money, which ain’t a bad thing, mind you. But it can also mean you’re a bit stingy, you know, like you won’t even spare a dime for a cup of coffee.
- It can mean you like things just so, all neat and tidy. But it can also mean you’re afraid of change, like you’re stuck in a rut and can’t get out.
- And sometimes, it can just mean you’re feelin’ a bit insecure, like you gotta hold on tight to what you got ’cause you’re afraid of losin’ it.
Now, some folks say this card is about control.
And I reckon they’re right. That fella on the card, he’s in control alright. He’s in control of his money, his stuff, and maybe even his life. But sometimes, too much control ain’t a good thing. It can make you stiff and unbendin’, like a rusty gate. You gotta be able to let go sometimes, you know? Otherwise, you’ll be stuck there holdin’ them coins forever.
This card, it reminds me of old man Johnson down the road.
He had a whole heap of land and money, but he wouldn’t spend a penny on nothin’. Lived in that old shack with the leaky roof, ate nothin’ but beans and cornbread. Said he was savin’ it for a rainy day. Well, the rainy day came, and he was still sittin’ there in that shack, holdin’ onto his money. Didn’t do him much good in the end, did it?
So, what do you do if you pull this card in a readin’?
Well, it depends on what you’re askin’ about. If it’s about money, it might mean you need to loosen up a bit, maybe spend a little on somethin’ nice for yourself. Or maybe it’s tellin’ you to be careful with your money, not to go spendin’ it all willy-nilly. If it’s about a relationship, it might mean you’re bein’ too possessive, tryin’ to control your partner too much. Or maybe it’s tellin’ you to hold on tight to what you got, not to let it slip away.
And let’s not forget about them numbers.
This here card is a four, and four is all about bein’ steady and stable. Like a table with four legs, you know? It’s solid. But sometimes, bein’ too solid ain’t good. You gotta be able to bend a little, otherwise, you’ll break. Think about a tree in the wind. It bends, it sways, but it don’t break. That’s what you gotta be like.
Now, I ain’t no fancy tarot reader, mind you.
I just tell it like I see it. And this 4 de pentaculos card, it’s a card about holdin’ on. Sometimes holdin’ on is good, sometimes it ain’t. You gotta use your own common sense to figure out which is which. And remember, money ain’t everything. There’s more to life than just holdin’ onto them coins. There’s love, and family, and friends, and good times. Don’t be so busy holdin’ on that you forget to live.
And if you are feeling all stuck up, maybe it is your health and spirituality needing some tending to.
You ever feel like you just can’t seem to catch a break? Like you’re always runnin’ around, but never gettin’ anywhere? Well, sometimes that’s a sign that you need to slow down and take care of yourself. Your body and your spirit, they need nourishment just like your belly does. So take some time to rest, eat good food, and do somethin’ that makes you feel good. Go for a walk in the woods, read a good book, spend time with the people you love. And don’t forget to pray, if that’s your thing. It can do wonders for the soul. This card is trying to tell you to find that solid ground within you. Look for what makes you feel safe and secure and then build from there, same as the Emperor card does, it tries to bring some order to your life.
So, there you have it.
That’s my take on the 4 de pentaculos. It ain’t much, but it’s honest. And remember, the cards are just a guide. They ain’t gonna tell you what to do. That’s up to you. You gotta use your own head and your own heart to figure out what’s best for you. Now go on and live your life, and don’t be afraid to let go every now and again.
