II. The reversed meaning of 4 De Baton
Danger, in all areas, becomes a habit. The 4 of Wands will then become a card of monotonous discontent in which the pleasurable life is downgraded to only a physical training and artistic creation for the purpose of making money. This card may also indicate an overwhelming attitude or even a weak person without power, a fearful person who cannot afford to take on the task.
The reversed 4 De Baton means there is a lack of harmony or a communication problem in the family or at home. There can be tension between family members or loved ones, and you find yourself stuck in the torment and problems of others. This can make you doubt about your own relationship and who you really can rely on. It is also possible that you are going through a transition period in your family or in your personal life with the result of the feeling of a certain tension.
Likewise, you may find that your home situation is becoming more and more unstable. There may be an external threat to the peace and happiness that once prevailed in your home. You may find yourself in a temporary situation that alleviates your immediate concerns but does not solve all the problems in the longer term.
Depending on your housing conditions, it may be better to move for a while to defuse tensions. Given the stability of this card, the reverse may mean that you are going through a transition period where balance and security are uncertain. You may be experiencing many changes in your life, such as a new job, a move, and/or a broken relationship. And although you know it is an indispensable transition, it can be very disturbing, to the point of feeling totally lost.
In love, reversed 4 De Baton reflects a person who is unlikely to be looking for a long-term relationship but without being totally hostile to it. There is a lack of commitment or even a fear of commitment that prevents the establishment of a long relationship.
