Image description on Four of Pentacles Mermaid Tarot
Do you ever feel bored with your own life? I understand that feeling. Let’s come and sit on my ledge, all I can focus on is my hair, stroking it from head to toe… just sitting there, brushing it, stroking it, and not thinking about anyone or anything. Allowing ourselves to lean on and get comfortable with boredom also has some benefits. Between strokes, my mind goes blank and all I have is the present, this moment – the moment when there is nothing around but me, the sound of the waterfall, and the feeling of each stroke on the hair.

Change is sometimes the law of nature and that no one can control it.

The Four of Pentacles Mermaid Tarot has a lot to teach you about reconnecting with the present. You may have put yourself in a state of paralysis or lethargy, but this is not exactly what you need right now. Instead, allow yourself to reconnect with the basic, everyday experiences of life.
