This card, Lord of Power, is one which reassures us of the overall security of our material life, and also suggests that we must take time to appreciate the assets provided in such abundance by the planet upon which we live. This earth provides us with the greatest sense of security that can be experienced by a race such as ours….the ground beneath our feet; the water we drink; the food we eat; the air we breathe; the raw materials to clothe us, house us, adorn us…… And for such riches, she asks nothing in return. As a result we have neglected the planet we live upon to the extent that our excesses have taken from her beyond her ability to renew and sustain. So on a day ruled by the Lord of Power, I ask you all to give something back to Planet Earth…

This could be a crystal, blessed for her nourishment. Or a plant given in her honour. Or half an hour spent clearing rubbish strewn across her body. Or a few moments spent in adoration of her beauty. Or water spread across a barren dry patch of earth. And perform whichever act you choose with reverence and a sense of deep thanksgiving in your heart for the planet which sustains us all. Some control is valuable. In chaotic situations, a firm hand is needed to provide structure and organization. Too often, however, the urge for control gets out of hand, stifling creativity and individual expression. In readings, this card asks you to weigh carefully the level of control in your situation. The Four of Disks can stand for issues of ownership. You may be involved in getting and keeping money or some other commodity. You may be having problems with possessiveness or jealousy. Use the energy of this card to preserve and defend, but not to lay claim. People need to be free to determine their own lives.

Book Details
Elements of the Psychic World: Gladys was born in Lancashire, England on 28 May 1882. Her parents tried to keep death a secret but at the age of eight a maid informed her that a family friend had died and been buried. This awareness shocked Gladys deeply but it also prompted visions of a happy valley with radiantly happy people. On one occasion when her father was with her she talked about another vision she was seeing on the wall.

Portable Magic: circle by Strength. This would create a resonance between the zodiac trump Strength, the planetary trump the Sun, and the number card the Four of Pentacles.

Tarot for Beginners: You can also make use of candles, crystals, mandalas, or any other objects that help you connect with the unseen energies around you. Meditation is useful in this regard as well, along with simply verbally asking the Universe for the calm and clarity you’ll need to interpret what the cards are telling you. You can try saying something simple but meaningful, like, ‘I open myself up to becoming an instrument of the truth and I will use this insight to honor the divine spirit that dwells within all of us.’ Meditation after a Tarot reading is also useful, to gently return yourself to ‘ordinary’ space. This is particularly recommended if you find yourself feeling drained or out of sorts after a reading, which is not uncommon, particularly when reading for others.

Reversed Cards: The Four of Pentacles in the retrograde aspect wants you to relax. Here under the pranic healing energy of the sun you are encouraged to drop your shoulders and let all the tension of the physical world go. It is a reminder that stability is not just a perception; it is an illusion that often has undesired consequences. Instead of holding on so tightly, allow that which you have mastered to be given freely, just like the sun’s rays spread to all those who require it. You have proven you have the Midas touch. Now, share your gifts, time, and talents so all can prosper along with you.
