Four of Earth ~68

 Four of Earth

There are certain cards in tarot that refer to the extremes of either side of a concept. We call them duality cards. The message in this card isn't gray but rather, black or white. The answer isn't "maybe" but is a, "yes' or "no". The Four of Earth tells us that we're either spending entirely to much money or we're being so cautious with it that we're missing out on the happiness it could bring us. Which of these messages pertains to to the reading is a matter of using our intuition and balance if there's additional cards to add in. Another meaning of this card can be that we need to be more charitable with our abundance, which fits in with the extreme of hoarding our funds & fortune.
 The Four of Earth sometimes refers to the other situations where we are either being excessive or insufficient in our efforts. For example, we could be loving to much or not enough. We could be trying to hard or not trying at all. This card can also mean well-thought-out business decisions, large purchases, investments or a feeling of paranoia that our prosperity will be taken from us.

Symbolism
 The two fairies in the image represent the extremes noted in the card. One fairy is quite large and the other is very small. One is completely visible and the other is partially hidden. 
 One way to allow our intuition to help us know which extreme the card is referring to is to note which fairy our eyes are drawn to. The small fairy can indicate someone of small means, the larger fairy someone who has much larger accumulation of assets. 
 We can also note that the basket of coins is chained to the large fairy, indicating that she's the one who should let go of her tight hold upon her wealth in order to help those in need. 
 The smaller fairy doesn't even have a "shirt on her back" showing that she may be lacking in resources. 

Angel Number
 The angel number 68 is connected with the Four of Earth card. We're inspired to know that spirit is the source of our abundance and that prayer can work miracles.
 The number 68 reduces to 5 (6+8=14, 1+4=5). The energy of 5 tells us that changes are coming into our lives; we just need to be patient. 

Astrology
 Sun in Capricorn is the astrological association for the Four of Earth. The sign of Capricorn is one of dedication and concentration on it's task. However; we must remember that Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the planet of restriction. This can create the paradox we see in the Four of Earth. The Capricorn sun is always there, wanting to shine for work well done, while the energy of Saturn may hold us back from enjoying the fruits of our labors.

Seven of Air ~57

  Seven of Air  The Seven of Air reveals itself to us as a message of kindness from Heaven. Our angels want us to know, that our current path is probably not the one that we're meant to be on. We may be unaware of our situation or oblivious to the actions of others. This card has a traditional meaning that encompasses something being taken away from us but the most common loss is our freedom. What we don't realize is that, the individual that is taking away our independence is ourselves. Our lack of focus on our own needs and life purpose creates a sense of limbo where we don't get where we want to go.  This card can also signify that our plans themselves are fine but the timing of them needs an adjustment. Symbolism  Five unicorns spin on a merry-go-round. They ride without any ability to determine their destination.  Five is the number of change. The only way to break the cycle of the merry-go-round is to change our circumstances.   The merry-go-rou...

Ten of Air ~60

  Ten of Air  In traditional tarot, this is considered a very undesirable card. With the imagery that was historically portrayed, that's no surprise. However, much like many of the Air suit cards, we feel that this is a misinterpretation. The Ten of Air mostly definitely represents an ending. It's just that more often than not, it's an ending that has been anticipated and quite possibly welcomed. It's a weight off our shoulders. We may be sad about the ending but at least it's finally over and we can move on. When we're no longer hanging onto, "what has been", we can begin to create a beautiful new life of "what will be".  This card can indicate someone who's recovering from an addiction--the emphasis being in recovery. One other thing, though, about the Ten of Air card, is that it often comes with a bit of drama tied to it. So while we may be at peace with the ending, others may have their own energy around the change. Symbolism  Eight ...

Eight of Air ~58

Eight of Air  The Eight of Air is a card that points out our lack of self confidence but Heaven wishes to break through our unhealthy illusions. We have a sense that we're trapped or not on control of our own lives but that isn't true. There's always a way to free ourselves of situations that we're no happy about but we must believe in ourselves. We must see the truth of our situation and take action.  This card also indicate confusion or feeling helpless. Symbolism  A single unicorn has broken free from a herd that's very clustered together. By stepping ahead, the single unicorn has shown confidence in itself. It doesn't need to rely on the others or to be part of the pack "mentality"in order to be successful.  The seven unicorns appear to be standing still, with their feet in the water, near the shore. Water is a symbol of emotion and since this card is one where fears are getting the best of us, the unicorns are standing in their fear.  The single ...
