Hello Leo, and welcome to TenPaths tarot.
The first card out of the deck is the Hierophant. The second is the Nine of Pentacles. The next flipped out of the deck in high style and is the Two of Pentacles. The last card is the High Priestess.
At both ends of the set, we see powerful energies. The Hierophant is rooted in tradition; in prescribed ways of looking at things. It is sometimes judgmental of itself and others.
And at the opposite end is the High Priestess, which is equally strong. She is doing research, seeing if she can find a more creative way of moving ahead. She too can be judgmental, but makes up her mind after she has considered many aspects of a problem or issue.
So we have a balancing act here, emphasized by the Two of Pentacles. Pentacles represents the material things we need in order to thrive during our lifetime. But here there is a fear that, if the Pentacles are not kept in play, the ship in the background may sink.
We want stability, and we have that right now with the Nine of Pentacles. Great bounty is shown, and the figure looks content and comfortable. But overall, there is a desire to be more well-rounded, but a fear of letting go of tradition.
