67-Four of Coins – Reversed Golden Deck

When reversed, the Four of Disks warns of miserliness. You may be clinging too tightly to material goods and earthly power to appreciate the value of human relationships. Your fear of loss may prompt excessive materialism and a cloistered existence hindering you from making important changes that are overdue.

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Complete Book of Tarot: Reading what is written in the cards is an art that can be mastered with a combination of sufficient study and practice. Divination with the tarot uses the card’s images to tell a story that has relevance for the querent. Essentially, reading the tarot is a form of myth-making, which functions like the stories of antiquity, allowing access to thoughts, feelings, and images by which we can make sense of our experiences and lend meaning to our lives. Facilitating access to these archetypal images is the core of the process.

Tarot Books

Complete Book of Tarot: There is a correct and established way to read the cards, and you must follow these rules if you wish to make an accurate interpretation, but let your intuition be your guide.

Complete Book of Tarot: Do this exercise with each card for each position of a tarot layout or spread. Common spread positions include past, present, future, obstacles, assistance, advice, pros, cons, hidden issues, one’s environment, hope and fears, likely outcome, and so on. A detailed example of this exercise can be found in the book Tarot Decoder by Kathleen McCormack, in which the author gives her impressions of the meaning of each card in each of the ten positions of the Celtic Cross spread.

Complete Book of Tarot: Traditionally people have consulted tarot readers in person. Although some tarot authorities feel that only the reader (and not the querent) should be allowed to handle the deck, most readers believe it is important for the querent to participate in shuffling and cutting the deck as part of the process of selecting the cards. This personal involvement by the querent allows the deck to resonate more effectively with the inquirer’s concerns.
