Tarot Meaning: Four of Pentacles

Clutching four coins tightly, afraid of losing what's already secured.

Upright Meaning

A figure clutches one coin to their chest, stands on another, and balances two more on their head — holding tightly to what they have. This card marks financial security, but also a fear of loss that can tip into rigid control.

Reversed Meaning

Reversed, it can mean loosening a grip on control, generosity replacing hoarding, or financial insecurity finally being addressed.
