The Mighty Power of the Number Four
This is volume 4, issue 40 of Tarot Topics Weekly Newsletter! I thought it would be fun to focus on the power of the number Four.
Four is essentially a number of stability. So many things are in a set of four. There are four seasons, four elements, and four walls to a room. How many sets of four can you think of?
The number Four can be about manifesting something. That is, taking your dreams and turning them into something solid.
The caveat with the number Four is to be careful what you wish for, and make sure it is what you really want.
Those whose life path number is Four tend to be sensible, practical, and pragmatic.
A great deal of power comes from attending to our practical needs. So often people feel that the spiritual and the practical cannot exist in the same space. Yet, they are both necessary, and are dependent on one another.
The number Four teaches us the magic that is inherent in the mundane.
Within the stability, practicality, and responsibility of the number Four is the opportunity for leadership. When we take on the mantle of leadership, we have the ability to shape the future for ourselves, and for our community.

Tarot for Magic and Mediumship Hybrid Class will be held in person at my office in Palm City, and online on Zoom.
This will be an enlightening seasonal tarot class.
Tarot is a multi-facetted spiritual tool. So often we think only of simple divination when we work with our tarot cards. Yet, tarot is a set of magical tools, and a gateway to communication with spirit.
Tarot readers of all levels of experience will learn new ways to work with tarot in this class. You will explore the cards as tools for manifestation and healing. You will learn to connect with those in spirit using your tarot cards.
Class fee is $40. Get your ticket now!
Design Your Own Four-card Spreads
Since there are so many sets of four in the world, designing a four-card tarot spread is easy.
You might have one card for each element and create card position meanings based on the element. For example, the Air position could answer the question: What should I be focusing on? The Water position could be: How can I have more love in my heart?
If you were to do this with the four seasons, your autumn card might be: What can I do to have a fruitful harvest in my life?
How might you design a spread using the four archangels, or the Four Agreements?
Use your creativity and imagination to create some new four-card spreads!

Cards for Your Consideration
In tarot, as in numerology in general, the number Four can refer to stability. The trick is, sometimes stability is a good, joyous, and safe thing. Sometimes, however, stability can create a comfort zone in which we can become stuck.
The Emperor is card Four of the Major Arcana. He can represent stability, leadership, and responsibility. Yet, this card can also represent rigidity.
The Four of Wands is the traditional card of marriage. This is normally a wonderful thing, unless you are stuck in a marriage that isn’t working well.
The Four of Pentacles can speak of good boundaries and self-care. Yet, it can also speak of selfishness and hoarding.
The Four of Cups can advise you to be careful of your choices. This card can also speak of a poor attitude in which you refuse to be pleased with any of your options.
The Four of Swords can advise meditation, rest, and retreat. Yet, this card can also speak of serious illness, injury, or a sense of emptiness.
As in all things tarot, very little is always good, or always bad. If we understand the full energy of a number, an element, or a card, we can use that energy to find our balance, mitigate difficulties, and welcome blessings.
The number Four in tarot, and in life, offers many blessings, as long as we do not get caught in rigidity or fear.
