Card: 4 of Pentacles

Deck: Fifth Spirit




The first thing I notice is that the tree has been cut down.


Describing the Image: A crown, a coin, a pocket watch, and a locket, are tangled underground in the roots of a tree. The tree, however, is actually just a stump. There is, however, a sprig sprouting from it.


Colors, Shapes, Symbols and Meaning, Background:
Colors - mostly brown, some green, gray, tarnished gold
Shapes - half-circle, circles, rectangle
Symbols and meaning - tarnished crown, power and rule that's disappeared; pocketwatch, the passage of time; coin - money; locket - you keep pictures in it
Background - n/a


This card makes me feel disconcerted about the stump.


It reminds me of the poem Ozymandias.


The energy of this card is contradictory - the roots are holding onto outdated treasures, but the tree itself is missing.


I could use this card's energy today by letting go of things that don't serve me, not holding onto things I don't need.
