Okay, so today I decided to mess around with tarot cards, specifically the 4 of Diamonds. I’ve been feeling kinda stuck lately, like my finances are stagnant, and I heard this card can sometimes relate to that. So, I figured, why not give it a shot?
First, I grabbed my deck. It’s a pretty standard Rider-Waite deck, nothing fancy. I shuffled the cards a few times, just trying to clear my head and focus on what I wanted to know. Like, “What’s up with my money situation, and how can I get things moving?”
Then, I laid out a simple three-card spread. You know, past, present, future. I’m no expert, so I kept it basic. I flipped over the cards one by one, and… bam! The 4 of Diamonds showed up in the present position.
I stared at the card for a bit. It shows this guy, kinda clutching onto his coins, all holed up in a city. It felt… familiar. Like, that’s totally me right now, holding onto every penny and afraid to spend anything.
Digging Deeper
I grabbed my little guidebook that came with the deck. It talked about things like stability, security, but also being too controlling and blocked. It mentioned being afraid of losing what you have, which can actually prevent you from gaining more.
I also did a quick search online. I just typed in “4 of diamonds tarot meaning” and scrolled through some results. Most of them echoed what the guidebook said. Stuff about being too focused on material possessions, being stubborn, and needing to loosen up a bit.
- One site talked about how it can represent a “poverty mindset.” That really hit me.
- Another mentioned that it could be a sign of needing to re-evaluate your budget and financial goals.
So, I sat there and really thought about it. Was I being too stingy? Was my fear of losing money actually stopping me from making more? Probably. I mean, I’ve been putting off investing in that online course that could actually help me boost my freelance rates. And I’ve been saying no to every social outing, even though networking could lead to new opportunities.
The 4 of Diamonds, at least for me today, was a big wake-up call. It wasn’t some magical fortune-telling thing. It was more like a mirror, reflecting back my own behavior and making me question it. I’m not saying I’m going to go out and blow all my savings now. But I am going to try to be more mindful of my spending habits and be more open to taking calculated risks. I signed up for that course I talked about just after finishing my tarot session!
