Four of Hearts

Before us is the first of the Fours of the deck, the first card on the path of seeking stability and reliability. The Four of Hearts tries to find these qualities in partnerships — both with close friends and with family members. People with this Birth Card are characterised by high ideals in love and romantic notions of family life, and if these ideals prove unattainable, Fours of Hearts suffer greatly and may withdraw into themselves for a long time in search of consolation. But if they manage to combine their ideals with a realistic view of the world, they can achieve true happiness in family and love life. Fours of Hearts are able to sense intuitively who needs their help and support, and to give that support generously, neglecting even their personal interests. If they succeed in this, they become far happier people and meet disappointments on their path less often. Many Fours of Hearts are born healers and guardians. Those around them are drawn to them for consolation in moments of grief. Fours of Hearts can express themselves fully in self-giving and in caring for other people. They also cope well with work in groups and organisations and often prove excellent teachers. Some Fours of Hearts have a superb intellect and a scientific cast of mind. Moreover, they know how to handle money. If Fours of Hearts lack happiness and luck in life, they have no one to blame but themselves. People with this Birth Card are advised to pay more attention to their health, since they are more inclined than others to indulge themselves both physically and emotionally. All Fours are prone to despotism, and the Four of Hearts is no exception. These people strive to keep their family under control so as not to lose what they consider the main treasure in life — family unity. But if they overdo it, heavy suffering awaits them at the moment when their children want to become independent. Fours of Hearts often try to control their close friends as well, in order to bring more stability into life. This is a negative trait, and it is better to get rid of it. Whatever Fours of Hearts may think, far from every person in the world needs guardianship and constant care. Fours of Hearts are endowed with special physical merits, and if they develop them, they can achieve great success in life. All these physical merits they apply in their work, whether they are aware of it or not. Usually they achieve the best results when they choose one line of activity and follow it steadily to the end. Many Fours of Hearts are destined to achieve an important position in their professional sphere; but on the way to success problems connected with money and power await them. An important step in the development of the Four of Hearts will be mastering their inner strength — love for people and care for them. On this firm foundation rests all their well-being.

Relationships of Fours of Hearts with other people

The Four of Hearts is characterised by high ideals in love and family relationships — often even too high for prosaic reality. Their tender fantasies often shatter against harsh reality, plunging Fours of Hearts into despair. At the same time Fours of Hearts are very loving and devoted spouses, with every chance of enjoying love in return. The main task for them here is to let their partner be themselves. Fours of Hearts will be able to reach their ideals if they develop a more spiritual attitude to their love life. As a rule, they enjoy the sympathy of those around them and are endowed with charm and magnetism.

The card of Cancer

Fours of Hearts, more than all other Fours, embody home and family — areas connected with the astrological sign of Cancer. This sign rules the 4th House of the horoscope, which is responsible for home and family, motherhood, care, raising children and reliability. All these traits are very characteristic of the Four of Hearts. In the horoscopes of people with this Birth Card the sign of Cancer, the Moon or the 4th House is almost always strongly expressed. Fours of Hearts are defenders of home and family unity; they always take good care of their children. If your close friend or colleague is a Four of Hearts, they will look after you like a child and show the most tender care. These feminine properties bring Fours of Hearts close to the Queens, who are also characterised by motherly care for those around them. But this same caring can sometimes lead to problems. Usually the Four of Hearts strives to surround themselves with close people belonging to their own suit — Hearts. These people become the basis of their security in life. And if one of these key people has to leave for one reason or another, the Four of Hearts tries with all their might to hold on to them, without realising that they are driven by fear of losing security. Only three birthdays in the year correspond to the Four of Hearts. One falls in the sign of Capricorn, the second in Sagittarius, and the third in Scorpio, on Halloween. The most despotic possessors are Fours of Hearts born under the influence of Scorpio, since Scorpio in itself symbolises a thirst for control over other people. Moreover, both Planetary Ruling Cards for Scorpio Fours of Hearts are Eights, also connected with power and control. Therefore Scorpio Fours of Hearts very often strive to control those around them in order to preserve their security system. Such people are extremely strong and can use their strength both for good and for harm. They are advised to show special caution in their behaviour and not let fear guide their actions. Despite all this, Fours of Hearts, as a rule, prove ideal parents. Thanks to the love and care received in their young years, their children grow up healthy and strong. People born under the influence of the Four of Hearts are called to remind all of us how important security is in life, especially in the tender years of childhood.
