four of pentacles
Hugging your coins so tight nobody can hand you any more. Loosen the grip a little, my love.
Upright Four of Pentacles
The Four of Pentacles is the holder. A figure clutches a coin to his chest, two under his feet, one on his head: secure, defended, slightly tense. The Four is the card of security tipping toward grip.
Drawing this card often signals a need to assess what you're holding too tightly. The Four asks whether the safety is real or whether it's costing you connection.
Is the safety real, or is it costing you connection?
Reversed Four of Pentacles
Reversed, the Four of Pentacles is loosening the grip: sharing, giving, opening up the closed fist. It can also mean financial release after a long stretch of caution.
It can also indicate carelessness with resources, or generosity that's tipped into self-neglect. The Four reversed asks for balance between holding and giving.
