4 Pentacles - Youve got a good foundation, with his feet firmly planted on the coins and a good ideas for the future, so trust in yourself, and hold tight to what youve accomplished, but maybe a hint of be wary of being too greedy by holding onto the coin so tight.

4 wands - This is a time to put down your sword and rest and reflect.

4 wands - The end is almost here, there is a celebration waiting for you.  A reunion with loved ones.

4 cups - The man has 3 cups sitting at his feet but doesnt seem happy, and is being offered another cup that he seems to be ignoring or not seeing.  I feel this card is saying to not be resistant or turn your back on help/aid/gifts.  or maybe its asking "am i receiving what i really need or want?"

Four of pentacles - A king sits in his chair surrounded by coins - He is good with money but lacking in other areas of his life - a good financial place

The four of cups - A person sits alone with three cups together and one apart - someone looking at what is missing or holding the past instead of moving forward and appreciating what is already there.

The four of swords

Time to retreat and re-energize - rest after struggles

The four of Rods

A beautiful card with the rods being decorated with flowers almost like a wedding entrance - happy marriage a beautiful home is on top of a hill - contentment and happiness

Four of Pentacles - He seems to be hoarding his wealth and mistrustful of anyone that might wander near it.  Selfishness and greed seem to be the main keywords here.

Four of Wands - They are celebrating and seem to be eager to invite others.  This seems comparable to the 3 of Cups.

Four of Swords - This may be someone who is ill or maybe someone who is quietly meditating, contemplating.

Four of Cups - This figure seems to be depressed and as a result is withholding friendship and affection and is either oblivious or indifferent to those that are trying to interact.

- 4 Swords: "Do not disturb".
This is what I do whenever I feel overly stressed out by work: I stay home, switch off the phones, ignore the doorbell and just enjoy the silence, my time, my space... If I did not do this periodically, I am not sure I could go back out into the world and still function.

- 4 Cups: "Boooriiing...".
This the typical "I'm feed up with everything" mood. One of those days when you find nothing to interest you, no way you want to while your time away, cannot concentrate on anything.

- 4 Pentacles: "You cannot touch me: I am protected on all sides".
Even though this image could instantly remind us of a thrifty person, I believe it goes beyond hoarding money or goods. To me it means more the way I tend to acquire all those things that give me a sense of security, namely a good, reliable job with enough income and a little to spare just in case, a good, solid house in a safe neighbourhood (those would be the pentacles under the feet, or the most basic necessities covered). Then we also "cover our heart" by surrounding ourselves with people who love and care about us, supplying emotional security. And the last one is very important too, once the others are covered: it can mean aspirations, learning, curiosity, knowledge, spiritualiy... Basically, keeping our minds alive and going while we still have goals to attain.

- 4 Wands: "Come join the party! Time to celebrate!"
This card tells me less than others. I see joy and celebration, but in a limited moment, like a wedding, festivity or so. Like a rest everyone takes from usual labor, letting their hair down a bit before going back to routine again.




Robin Wood's 4 of wands looks like a joyful country wedding. It would look good on a reading about the possibility of a future relationship, together with some more permanent ones.

Ancestral Path's 4 of Cups seems to be considering at least one of his options a bit more than others, but still does not seem too inclined to go for it. Not enough to entice him, perhaps?

Robin Wood's 4 of swords (hard to see the swords here, maybe that is why I like it better) looks more peaceful, less stony or cold, as some of you were saying about RW's. The coffin is out under the trees in a pleasant starry night. Like Sleeping Beauty, there is a good chance someone will come along to break the enchantment.

4 of pentacles...greed, not sharing his fortune lost out on much because of his lack of trust material happiness

4 of swords.... at peace he lived by the sword and now died by the sword was his battles worth it he is alone

4 of wands...reap the rewards of hard work happiness and fulfilment

4 of cups... this person looks selfish he is not happy with 3 cups someone is trying to please him by giving him more he is in a mood he doesnt want it now because he had to wait for it he is used to getting what he wants
