Card of the Day, 2 August 2019, 4 of Pentacles

The Four of Pentacles
Keywords:  Control, Stability, Conservative

Money, money, money....... (Don't blame me that Abba song popped into my head).  So that's this card, all about the wealth and material possessions.  Are you set financially?  Congratulations.  Are you too focused on money and wealth?  To the point that you are not ENJOYING life?  It's great that you've gotten yourself to a comfortable level, just don't get so focused on it that you miss out on the rest of the adventure.  

Lock and key—you’ve got your finances stashed away with double security. You are in complete control of what goes in and what goes out, dutifully standing guard at the door. Saving is a habit that you’ve mastered, and you’ve racked up enough in the bank to be financially stable and independent. You are in complete control and conservative about how you spend your money, valuing your possessions. Kudos to the discipline it took to get your finances in order; however, watch out for penny-pinching to the point where you don’t allow yourself to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Equating financial security with self-worth creates a dependency on stacking up the cash, no matter what the cost. Remember, you are inherently worthy no matter what your bank account says.
