Four of Pentacles (Reversed), Queen of Pentacles (Reversed), Seven of Cups (Upright)

“A closed fist holds nothing new.”

Your cards today paint a picture of love caught between fear and longing. At the center sits the Four of Pentacles reversed, a sign that the situation is shaped by insecurity. In its upright form, this card speaks of holding tightly to what you have, guarding your heart or possessions. Reversed, it signals a loosening grip. You might be letting go of old patterns or feeling a loss of control. In love, this may show up as difficulty trusting or fears of abandonment surfacing.

The Queen of Pentacles reversed appears as your obstacle. Traditionally, she embodies warmth, nurturing, and practical care for others. When reversed, her gifts are turned inward or blocked. Perhaps you are struggling to balance giving and receiving in your relationships. You may feel unsupported or find it hard to care for yourself while tending to a partner’s needs. This card points to a need for self-care and honesty about what you can offer right now.

Your advice comes from the Seven of Cups upright. This card is about choices—many options, some tempting, some confusing. In love, it suggests that fantasy or wishful thinking could cloud your judgment. The Seven of Cups invites you to examine your desires with clear eyes. Which possibilities are real? Which are illusions?

These cards together suggest that fear of loss or a shaky sense of security may keep you from giving and receiving love freely. The urge to fix or control can crowd out gentleness and trust. Meanwhile, a world of possibilities stands before you, but not all are grounded in reality. It’s easy to get lost in dreams or distractions when your heart feels uncertain.

To move forward, consider where you can create more stability within yourself rather than looking outside for reassurance. Release the urge to grasp or fix what cannot be controlled. Ground yourself in care, both for your own needs and those of your loved ones. Examine your choices honestly—what do you truly want in love, and what are you ready to let go?

Ask yourself: What would it feel like to open your heart without holding back or expecting guarantees?
