So, how does one act "4 of Coins" --- what do you think?
This, to me, is one of the most difficult cards in the deck. It combines the glorious balance of the number 4 with the wonderful manifestation of pentacles (by far, my favorite suit, because they mean "stuff that's real" to me) but it's not really a "good" card. In fact, in two of my decks (Jane Austen Tarot and Fairytale Tarot), it's a "bad" card, depicting greedy, withholding people from stories I know. Yet the RW depiction never looks bad, nor do the depictions in my other decks that aren't linked to stories. The card pulled in this case is actually rather pretty. So, is it still a bad card? It looks so peaceful.
This reading, by the by, is in the context of friendship and love. I did a "Think, Believe, Act" spread for what someone would do.
In this case, I thought it might mean the positive thoughts and beliefs would be held in and not expressed, but at the same time, I thought that the person would try to provide security, something my querent in this matter desperately wanted. Because I sometimes see "security" in this card, though I'm not entirely sure on that. I know it's a miser card, though, so you'd think it'd be negative... I'm just unsure on that every time I pull it.
This card and the 8 of Cups both trip me up a lot. (Not that they're related, but they both do.)
Any thoughts?
