The 4♥️ is our vibrant Yellow Zone: lots of energy and feeling good. This is like a warm and pleasant day where we might feel able to explore, to play, to socialise and give of ourselves. The images on the card remind us of abundance, productivity and blossoming. Perhaps look at Explainer 3: the Three Circles Card. The feelings here propel our boat onwards.

The Yellow seeking warm zone is the home of our drive or excitement system. As we evolved as humans, as well as managing threats, we had to have the energy and motivation to find food and resources crucial to our survival. We would be advantaged if we could make friends, achieve social status and find a mate to pass on our genes. The emotions and feelings here like enthusiasm, joy and confidence help with this as well.

Hormones like dopamine and serotonin help to leave a memory or trail which reinforce the behaviours which release them. Notice and enjoy these times, tucking a little of this feeling away as a reminder of the sunny times when cold and cloudy days arrive. But remember too that although it can be good to feel these feelings, we can have too much of a good thing and need balance. See Explainer 5, the Bridge or Tension card. We know from neuroscience that addictions can arise from the reward seeking and pleasure these chemicals invoke. So remember not to get stuck on one side.
