Four of Pentacles — the Rider–Waite–Smith tarot card
Rider–Waite–Smith, 1909

Four of Pentacles upright meaning

  • security
  • saving
  • control
  • stability

A card of holding tight to what you've got. Security matters, but notice where you're gripping too hard with money or control, and loosen your hold a little this week.

Four of Pentacles reversed meaning

  • letting go
  • generosity
  • overspending
  • release

You're gripping money or control out of fear, or overspending to feel safe. Ask what you're really scared of losing, because holding this tight is costing you more than it protects.
