Four of Diamonds

The Four of Diamonds is the card of stability in the financial sphere. This stability is achieved through hard work. The Four of Diamonds, more than all other cards in the deck, must make efforts to receive the reward for their labours; and the reward will surely come to them. But if people with this Birth Card take the path of least resistance, only disappointments and failures await them. All the money they receive is invariably connected with a certain responsibility. Fours of Diamonds have an excellent business instinct; they are able to organise and manage a business magnificently. Although other people may consider them stubborn, Fours of Diamonds know: if they keep order in their life and define their goals clearly, they will surely achieve success and happiness. If their life runs in a well-worn groove, they will on no account change anything, whatever those around them may think of it. Even in childhood most Fours of Diamonds are firmly aware of what is important to them in life and what is not. To achieve success, Fours of Diamonds often have to solve the problems of their inherent restlessness (Karma Card — Five of Spades) and dissatisfaction, which hinder them from developing in one chosen area and moving steadily forward. The work Fours of Diamonds are engaged in is often connected with their marriage partners or closest friends. Fours of Diamonds are very sociable and have many acquaintances and friends. One of the main problems they may face is a tendency to "get stuck", to rest on what they have achieved and be unwilling to go further. In essence, all Fours of Diamonds need for happiness is work. As soon as they set to work, everything in their life falls into place and their inner fears dissipate by themselves. In later years Fours of Diamonds achieve greater freedom, happiness and material well-being. Usually they live long and in old age like to travel the world, making up for what they missed in youth.

Relationships of Fours of Diamonds with other people

Fours of Diamonds are characterised by high ideals in love, which can sometimes bring confusion and muddle into their romantic relationships. Being outwardly extremely stable and strong people, deep down Fours of Diamonds are very restless. This restlessness affects their love life too, so it is not surprising that it is sometimes hard for them to bind themselves forever to one single partner. Moreover, the karmic debts of Fours of Diamonds imply that they will have one or several difficult marriages in life, usually ending in divorce. As a result we have before us people who sincerely strive for warm partnerships but are forced to pass through a series of trials in order to realise their dream. Love relationships for Fours of Diamonds are work and work again. As a rule, well-being and prosperity come to them only in later years. And if the Four of Diamonds seeks in love a means of salvation from the burdens of life, many problems await them. Fours of Diamonds are not without charm and usually get their way in romantic situations. But they must on no account abuse their power over a partner! Retribution for this will be swift and painful and may even affect the health of the Four of Diamonds. People with this Birth Card need to strive for true spiritual closeness in love relationships in order to avoid extremely complex karmic problems.

Compatibility of Fours of Diamonds with other birth cards

Four of Diamonds men are advised to avoid women of the Heart suit, since incredibly heavy karmic ties bind them to them. Four of Diamonds women can be happy in marriage with Spade men, especially with the Two of Spades. They in turn arouse sympathy in Club men. Diamond men are also usually not averse to starting a romance with a Four of Diamonds woman.

Working life

People connected with Fours are usually very stable and have good resistance. They are able to withstand a great deal, so it is not surprising that they have to face difficult situations in life. An example is the life of Roseanne Barr (formerly Roseanne Arnold), described by her in her autobiography. She is a Four of Diamonds born under the sign of Scorpio; and Scorpio Fours of Diamonds usually have a harder time in life than other Fours of Diamonds. To achieve even a small success, they have to work long and hard, and many of them suffer for this reason. Even the simple joys of life are always complicated for Fours of Diamonds by one problem or another, so their life experience can be called more bitter than that of other cards in the deck. Many Fours (and Diamonds in particular) are characterised by a strong "fighter's" ethic. The key to happiness for such people is recognising this aspect of their personality and re-evaluating it. Although outwardly it seems as if they deliberately attract difficult situations into their life, in reality Fours of Diamonds do not like this at all. In fact the cause of all their problems is a deep inner attitude that can be roughly expressed in these words: "I have to pay for everything in life; nothing comes to me easily. Well, let us take life as it is. The more problems stand in my way, the greater the reward will be." This is exactly what happens to most Fours of Diamonds, although in essence they do not like constantly fighting for a place in the sun. The adventurous streak inherent in them would show itself much better in travel and adventures. So Fours of Diamonds should understand that they have a reason to do away with the belief system that sustains the flow of obstacles on their path. Shedding light on one's deep beliefs and re-evaluating them is not so simple, but quite possible. The happy Four of Diamonds loves their work but is not burdened by it. They have worked out a clear value system that can be useful to any person; it is a practical approach to work, finances and life in general that brings a feeling of stability and security. The happy Four of Diamonds has managed to let positive ideals into their consciousness, has believed that there can be unclouded joy in their life; and this joy was not long in coming. Their work ethic ceased to be a heavy burden and turned into a reliable support.
