The Four of Pentacles

I have been working closely with one of my Egyptian decks lately (a gift that some wonderful friends picked up for me in New Orleans.)  In response to the question, "Which card do I need to share today, for all highest good?"  I drew the Four of Pentacles.  Pentacles have to do with stability, finances, home and family issues.  While all cards have numerous interpretations, the message that I feel compelled to share is this: Although you may believe that by appointing yourself the supervisor of everyone else's behavior, you are keeping your own life in control, in reality you are hanging on WAY to tight and you need to let it go.  As much as we may not want to face it, everyone is given the gift of free will and no matter how hard we might try to change them, they will live their life in the way they want to.  By trying to force them into the role that you want them to play, you are only breeding resentment and driving them further away.  Try to distract yourself with other things and those around you at home and work will be more likely to enjoy your company.  They may even consider taking your advise.  Relax and remember that everything is in Divine and perfect order, even if we can't see it at the time.  Many blessings, Ember
