Linda
Brother of Earth in the "Self" Position
Cultivate your investments using good timing and skillful management; protect your interests.
The card in the Self position reveals aspects of how you perceive yourself right now.
The Knight of Coins (in some decks, The Prince) in this position portrays you as someone who is responsible, patient, and of practical service. You realise that with right timing and proper attention, wise investments multiply, like a field which has been cultivated.
This does not have to do with greed or even the profit motive as we think of it now. Your contribution is like that of the farmer who sows a field of grain for the sake of the entire community. Your service does not stop there, however. The crop must be allowed to grow unmolested by predators or thieves. That's another reason we need to summon forth the stalwart character inside of us who can be trusted to protect and defend the community and its harvest. This card implies generous service of all types.
Four of Fire in the "Situation" Position
Don't hesitate to support a team effort that could be very effective and productive.
The card that lands in the Situation position refers to social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your life at this time.
When the Four of Wands is in this position, you are being drawn into a circle of creative, stimulating, high-energy people. Collectively you may give birth to an idea, business, product or endeavour.
The combination of energies confirms that the process will be fertile and productive. If you have an opportunity to support, invest in or lend your energy to a team like this, don't hesitate. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Five of Wind in the "Challenges/ Opportunities" Position
When you make a commitment to the long term good, it will teach others a lesson in altruism.
The card that lands in the Challenges/Opportunities position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones.
The Five of Swords in this position challenges you to overcome a trend that is dividing and conquering your group. This situation kindles a unique strength within you that can help others keep from succumbing to the temptation of unbridled self-interest.
You are holding the torch, keeping the light of the greater good aloft. Your inspiration or clarity is helping others awaken and make their way toward higher ground. You have the ability to dispel petty bickering and competition, and reawaken a common vision or sense of mission. Relax and let your insights speak for themselves; your capacity for leadership is being called forth.
Hope that helps you Linda
