Card of the Day for September 13 - Four of Pentacles
msesheta
Attribution - Sun in Capricorn
The suit of Pentacles represents the
element earth.
Pentacles can represent money
matters, resources, security, material concerns, prosperity,
wealth, service, status, and physical experiences in the body.
Fours represent structure, stability,
foundation, order, predictability, solidity, logic, reason,
organization, discipline, manifestation and practical attainment.
Rider-Waite Imagery
The suit of pentacles governs the physical world and is related to material matters. The number four is a framework for kindness and love.
Shown on this card is a man sitting on a gray cubic. Each foot is
resting on a pentacle. There is one pentacle above his head. He
holds the fourth in his arms. One arm is on top and the other is
on the bottom of the pentacle. His arms are in the shape of an
infinity symbol (complete free flowing energy). The sky is gray
(the divine) and so is the ground. This is a stage card. Notice
the flat surface and the double line that separates the surface
from the background. The real situation may not be what it looks
like. He is wearing a crown with a pentacle over it. This
combination represents his mastery and authority in the material
world. He is wearing a black cape that is lined in red. His
slippers are red (passionate action). His clothing is scarlet with
a blue trim (passion edged with contemplation: restraint). The man
shown on this card is a master of the material world. He has the
ability to do anything he needs to but does it in a complete and
systematic way.

The Pictorial Key to the Tarot by Arthur Edward Waite (1911)

A slave to one’s habits.
Gifts, inheritances.

Tension headache.
There is danger in clinging too tightly to what one has earned. Make sure you are not hanging on because you don’t want to share or are afraid of losing what you worked so hard to obtain.
Beware of obsessive/compulsive
behaviour, jealousy and possessiveness. If you wish to receive
more bounty and prosperity you must open your hand to receive. You
might keep what you own by clinging to it so tightly and not
sharing but you will not grow either. Help who you can by sharing
what you have – and allow others to help you if they are in a
position to do so. What goes around, comes around.

Insatiable desires.
Someone is attempting to pry something out of you.
Obsession with the material world.

Spending too freely.

Realizing there is more to life than just money.
Fear of failure.
Unwarranted fear of poverty.
Abuse of material possessions.
Failing an exam.
