THE FOUR OF PENTACLES
“The Lord of Material Power”
Sun in Capricorn
DESCRIPTION AND SYMBOLISM
On the outskirts of a large town, a solitary individual sits on a grey cubic pedestal. Atop his head rests a single pentacle balanced atop a golden crown. Two others are secured beneath his feet and the fourth is held tightly between his arms. He is wearing a black cape and a red garment trimmed in blue. The sky behind him is a featureless gray as is the walkway on which he sits.
ASTROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION
The self consciousness harvests the material opportunities that Capricorn brings when the will focuses itself on material and financial success and the acquisition of earthly power and influence to the exclusion of all else. He is alone with his money and must hold on tightly to it while devoting his energies to the preservation of what he has accumulated.

THE TREE OF LIFE
“The Sphere of Mercy”
Being overly concerned with money and material possessions to the exclusion of ones spiritual development leads nowhere and ends in nothing. What you have set out to possess may one day come to possess you.
