According to The Pictorial Key to the Tarot by A.E. Waite, Four of Pentacles is described as the following:
A crowned figure, having a pentacle over his crown, clasps another with hands and arms; two pentacles are under his feet. He holds to that which he has.
Divinatory Meanings: The surety of possessions, cleaving to that which one has, gift, legacy, inheritance.
Reversed: Suspense, delay, opposition.
Today’s tarot card implies that you have been worried about your future. Recently, you may have been stressing a bit more than usual about how much security you have. You’re feeling uncertain about how your future financial situation is looking, which creates a lot of tension in your life.
The Four of Pentacles wants to remind you not to overwhelm yourself with doubt and worries. Thinking about your security for the future isn’t a bad thing. However, what isn’t good is if you begin to obsess and overthink about it. It may be doing you more harm than it is good.
What can you do to ease your mind?
The Four of Pentacles wants you to take back control over your fears. It wants you to be able to feel hopeful and secure about your future. Why waste your time stressing over something you can easily prepare for? Stop doubting your ability to think ahead and gather all the resources you may need to succeed.
This card is here to remind you about the importance of planning ahead and how doing so will lift a heavyweight of worry off your shoulders. Planning ahead is an excellent step in the right direction to a bright future.
Getting insurance is an excellent example of planning ahead
One of the best ways to prepare for potential future mishaps is to cover yourself with the appropriate insurance that you need. When selecting an insurance plan, take a close look at all the options available. Take note of what benefits they are offering and weigh out their pros and cons.
Most people automatically choose the insurance company’s basic standard plan without paying much attention to the other options available. They don’t realize what perks they may be missing out on.
Find out all the options available for you and then compare them. You could qualify for a cheaper plan or get a special discounted rate. Or, perhaps you find one that provides you with more coverage in the more important areas of your life. The Four of Pentacles tells you to explore your options rather than sticking to the basics without putting much thought into it.
What kind of insurance do you need?
Depending on your lifestyle and personal needs, you may need to have certain things covered. However, there are five main types of insurance that everyone should have.
The five most important kinds of insurance are:
- Medical/Health
- Auto (Car)
- Homeowner’s
- Life
- Disability
Depending on your lifestyle and personal wants and needs, you may want to consider these other types of insurance:
- Pet
- Umbrella/Liability
- Travel
- Renter’s
- Business
- Dental
The Four of Pentacles wants to help you feel optimistic about the future. It’s here to show you that there’s no need to worry and stress about your finances. All you need to do is a little preparation to achieve the security you need to eliminate the unnecessary stress and tension you’ve been feeling.
Relieve the strain caused by constant financial worries
Over time, excessive worrying and financial stress can lead to serious health problems, such as insomnia or cardiovascular disease.
One of the best ways to calm a frantic mind is by using meditation techniques. It doesn’t have to be a long-drawn-out process either. It could be as simple as finding a quiet place to close your eyes and focus on breathing for 10 minutes.
Meditating for 10 minutes a day has been shown to bring inner peace and calmness while diminishing anxiety and chronic stress symptoms. It’s also been known to help reduce blood pressure and positively boost your mood and energy levels.
