4 OF PENTACLES MEANINGS
What does 4 of Pentacles mean?
The 4 of Pentacles represents holding on: the figure clutches one coin, stands on two and balances one on his head — secure, and completely immobilised by his own grip. Upright, it acknowledges the comfort of saving and stability, while asking what the holding costs: money kept but not used, control kept but not enjoyed. Reversed, the grip changes — either releasing into generosity and risk, or tightening into open hoarding and fear of any loss.
