Card Description
A crowned figure sits rigidly on a throne in the city, clutching one pentacle to his chest while balancing another on his head. Two more pentacles rest securely under his feet. His tight grip and defensive posture suggest fear of loss, prioritizing security over growth or generosity.
Upright Meaning
The Four of Pentacles (also called Four of Coins) represents financial security achieved through careful control and conservative management. This card suggests holding tightly to what you have, perhaps out of fear of loss or scarcity. In love readings, it can indicate possessiveness, jealousy, or difficulty with emotional vulnerability. Career-wise, it points to job security, savings, or conservative financial strategies that prioritize stability over risk.
Reversed Meaning
Excessive greed, hoarding, or financial anxiety that prevents you from enjoying what you have. You might be holding so tightly to security that you're missing opportunities for growth. In relationships, it can suggest releasing control issues, overcoming jealousy, or learning to trust. The reversed Four indicates it's time to loosen your grip and find balance between security and freedom.
