My card for the day is the 4 of Pentacles.....While totally for me I today...mostly because I need it have a place to live....but the part about the possessions is correct...
2f3fbd5d7707a6d3dcbf2cf206d096bd.jpg

The Four of Pentacles generates both positive and negative perceptions. On the one hand, this card signifies that you have accomplished many of your goals and have attained great material wealth in the process. However, on the other hand, there is a risk that you will come to value only material wealth, thus becoming possessive and/or greedy in ensuring that no-one else takes away your wealth.

The Four of Pentacles indicates that you are in a position where you are financially stable and secure with solid investments. You are very conservative about money and are not inclined to gamble in financial matters. You are very protective of what you have accumulated over time, and slowly and steadily you increase your net worth through saving money and safe investments. You are self-sufficient both financially and emotionally, as you often equate money with emotional security.

Although this card shows a practical and financially stable person, it often indicates possessiveness, greed and an overly cautious approach to life. You may be afraid to take risks, both financially and emotionally for fear of losing everything that you have attained so far. As a result, you may be vaguely unhappy and unfulfilled. Deep down you are starting to realize that you have sold out for a conservative and overly ‘safe’ approach to life.

Thus, the Four of Pentacles indicates one of the dangers of prosperity, the temptation to value money far above its real worth. If wealth and financial success lead to a miserly or penny-pinching attitude, then you have found yourself in a narrow-minded state where nothing is perceived to have any significant value other than money. This attitude is an expression of extreme attachment to the material ‘things’ of the world and is unhealthy in the long-term. Sadly, possessions have become your life and you now assess your self-worth based on how expensive your car is, how many bedrooms and flat-screen TVs your house has, etc. What this also means is that you must continually work hard to generate an income to sustain this standard of living and to sustain your ongoing obsession with material possession.

Sometimes, the Four of Pentacles can indicate an inflexible attitude that is resistant to change. You have already established a way of living that now works for you, so why change? Change appears to be a threat to your certainty, safety and security, and may place you at risk of losing all that is important to you. Any suggestion of doing things differently is therefore going to be met with resistance for fear of how it will impact your personal sense of security. Thus, you are more likely to favour tradition and tried-and-tested ways of doing things, rather than taking any risks at this point.

The Four of Pentacles can also indicate a need to control your environment. You want to be in charge to ensure that your world does not get altered or changed, and as a result, you demand compliance and you insist on having things your way. You want to create order amidst the chaos, to bring a state of calm and stability back into your life. However, the downside is that you cannot always have things your way and you may prove to be too much for some, isolating yourself from friends or family.

I think this is a better fit............
four_pentacles.jpg

The Four of Pentacles shows a man sitting on stool, away from his home town. He tightly holds onto his pentacles or coins in a very defensive posture as though he were hoarding them for fear of loss. One pentacle is balanced on his head, one clutched between his hands, and two are securely placed underneath his feet. He is making sure that no-one touches his coins! And, he cannot go anywhere because his feet are busy holding the coins down. In other words, this man is so tied up with his possessions, that he cannot do anything else. His eyes appear darkened from hard work but his mouth betrays the hint of a smile, which comes from the self-satisfaction of his accomplishments.

You are going to be having some talks with partners today about creative problem solving when it comes to money or relationship matters. Things could get saucy too! The Leo Moon in your eighth house has you feeling passionate about things, at a level that is more intense than usual for you. You are also getting some signals about your work life today from Universe, don’t be afraid to pursue them to see where they will take you. What saucy relationship matters are you tending to today, Cap?

Reading the story??? come on horoscope.

Today is a big karma day for you, Capricorn, with the Leo Moon in your eighth house of shared resources and secrets. You also have a Mercury and Saturn square in your tenth house of public image that could bring some wrinkles on the work front. This is just one of those situations where being the bigger person is the winning strategy, and will have you admired by the higher-ups today. It’s a no sudden movement day, just roll with the day, and the good karma will find you. What work plans do you have today, Cap?

I swear it is just talking about the book. Good grief.

I know it is late in the day but my card, the Queen of Cups.
No intuition is more powerful than that of the Queen of Cups. She is the pure force of Water, and her connection with the subconscious is rivaled only by the High Priestess. She is often like a mirror, reflecting the hidden depths of others back to them, so they can see their own mysteries for themselves. However, her cup is closed, and her own secrets remain invisible to all, even to herself sometimes. Such is the paradox and fluidity of the Water element. Hardly ever manifesting as an event, the Queen of Cups is almost always found either in people near you, or in yourself.

A Queen of Cups in the real world feels right at home in the realms of the subconscious. If she is not psychic, she will possess extraordinary insight into the behavior and motivations of others. As such, she is often a gifted counselor and healer, ready to provide a shoulder to cry on and a hand to hold whenever they are needed. She is beautiful by almost all standards, because her beauty is the purity of her spirit, and such magnificence has a universally recognizable allure. Even when not physically attractive, she still attracts others to her. A Queen of Cups will also be a dreamer, with wondrous fantasies and a vivid imagination.

You are dreaming big today, Capricorn, and have the opportunity to truly make a big mark in the world today. The Moon in fellow Earth Sign Virgo is also in your house of foreign affairs. Foreign matters in either work or love are favored today, but you also may just be thinking about the Big Picture, and your role in it. Take some time to put some dreams on paper today, Capricorn. You are getting information today that will be valuable for a long time to come. What dreams do you have today, Cap?
