Four of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

The Four of Pentacles stands for an attitude of protecting what you have and securing safety. Look separately at necessary protection and the clinging that blocks even change. The wish to protect what you have helps stability, but excessive control can block new uses.

Reversed, it signals a call to look at either a process of loosening the control you held, or a situation in which what you have is becoming unstable. The reason for letting go and the range you can bear matter most. Letting go as a choice and a scattering choice where management collapses differ even if they look alike on the surface.

The figure seated holding coins to the chest, on the head and under the feet shows both the security that comes from what has been protected and the tension of not letting go.

Relationships

Upright In romance, check whether you are controlling your partner for the sake of a sense of security. So as not to tie your partner's time and choices to your anxiety, set areas where each of you is free.

Reversed Do not limit your partner's choices for the sake of a sense of security. If you have decided to loosen control in romance, decide in advance how to cope when anxiety rises.

Work and study

Upright At work, review together the reasons for keeping the existing method and the room to improve. If you only repeat the safe way at work, set a range in which to try one small experiment.

Reversed Check at work the reasons you cannot let go of the existing method and the range you will change. If you decided to share authority at work, first sort out the range to delegate and the time to check.

Money and daily life

Upright Set the purpose of the reserve fund, but do not let it block even basic needs. Decide the ratio between savings goals and the joy of spending and check it once a month.

Reversed Look together at excessive thrift and unstable money management. If spending suddenly rose, divide the last month's record by item and look for the cause.

Upright Write separately what you must protect and what you can use flexibly. Write the reason you want to protect something in one line and mark whether it is anxiety or need. If you separate what you will certainly protect and what you will put to use by plan, you can keep a sense of stability while leaving room to use for needed change.

Reversed Write anew, divided, what you will protect and what you will use flexibly. Choose one thing among what you recently spent or let slip without thinking that you want to protect, and decide how to manage it. If you look at what need the choice of holding on to or letting go of what you have came from and set the range to manage, you can adjust excessive thrift and unstable use together.

The Four of Pentacles is the secure stance of holding tightly to what you have, and the Six of Pentacles is the balance of sharing and receiving in fair measure. Together they look for the right line between keeping and sharing.
