Four denarii tarot meaning in relationships. Tarot meaning of the Four of Pentacles in a relationship reading

Short description cards
Waite gives a very sparse description of the Four of Pentacles, describing only the location of the pentacles and pointing out that since the pentacles are somehow in contact with the figure of the card character, he is supposedly holding them. If you follow this logic, then the character actually controls three of the four pentacles. How firmly the pentacle is attached to his crown is not obvious.
Note the following details of the picture:

• The city is behind the character. Despite the fact that the picture shows tall towers, a quick glance at the map the city looks much more like a modern metropolis, dotted with skyscrapers. The city is not surrounded by an obvious fortress wall, which is generally not typical for the Middle Ages.


• The character's boots are not laced. That is, if he suddenly decides to jump up and run, there is a chance of losing his shoe or even falling. Interestingly, the character sits on a stone pedestal so large that he can barely touch the ground with his toes.

The main meaning of the 4 of Pentacles card
In its meaning, this card is close to the King of Pentacles and, through it, to the Emperor. In fact, the 4 of Pentacles and the King of Pentacles are synonymous. We can assume that the map depicts the actual ruler of the city behind him. He has significant resources at his disposal, but he spends them not only and not so much on his own whims, but on the life support of the city. Rational, reasonable use of resources. Holidays are held out of necessity, not whim. Purchasing grain is more important than the king's new dress. However, this unemotional style of government is not approved by everyone. Fans of tinsel and fireworks are unhappy with the small amount of resources being wasted.
The map speaks of the need for rational planning, strict control over the progress of the process and targeted expenditure of funds. The card describes a stable, stable financial situation that is currently prosperous.
Four of Pentacles in relationships
The card speaks of a situation in which a person, passionate about his work, is not too interested in relationships. Moreover, he perceives them as a burden and an annoying hindrance. In his opinion, emotional factors negatively affect the reasonableness of decisions made.
The second side of this card is the problem of relationships with a person in a leading position. On the one hand, he is accustomed to flattery and veneration, and does not take criticism well. On the other hand, he suspects those around him that they are interested in a relationship not so much with him as with his “crown.” And distrust in this card is much more common than thirst for flattery.
Psychological condition
A calm, adequate person who knows what he is doing, why and for what purpose. He controls the situation inside and out. For him, there is nothing secret, incomprehensible or inexplicable in the process. A self-confident master of his craft.

Wheel of Fortune: a stable, stable situation that does not contain any unexpected, unpleasant changes.

Four of Pentacles in health matters

On the one hand, the card indicates good health. And if we talk about the negative aspects of this card, then we can talk about the desire to keep everything inside oneself. And it can be either emotions or literally constipation. The card can also speak about psychological stress that is so familiar that a person stops noticing them. Sometimes the card indicates a lack of movement and physical activity. But at the moment the person does not suffer from this.

Financial situation of the Four of Pentacles

The financial situation of the 4 of Pentacles does not cause any concern. This is a situation where money starts flowing into money. The hard work of forming financial flows has been completed, and thin financial streams have merged into a full-flowing river. Now the problem is not “where to get it?”, but “where to invest?”.
The situation is very stable. This is its plus and its minus. If abrupt changes suddenly begin, it will be very difficult to change from a state of peace to a state of war.

Description of the card image

In the center of the card is a young man, a prince or king. He sits on a dais and thinks about something. The young man rests on a pentacle with each leg, the young man hugs one pentacle with his hands, and another pentacle is inserted into the crown on the young man’s head. Behind the young man’s back is a beautiful city, symbolizing the earthly power and empire of the king. The atmosphere is calm, the sky is clear and transparent.

Impression from the Four of Pentacles: fear for the safety of one’s property, money, concern about the current situation. Attempts to maintain the current situation.

Interpretation of direct provision

Fear for the safety of property. Economical. Confidence in yourself and the future. Satisfied position. prosperity. Receiving an inheritance or a good gift.

Now in the life of the fortuneteller there has come a period of prosperity and a time of stability.

The efforts made will be justified, and you will receive decent payment for your work. You have confidence in yourself and your abilities, faith in the future. Your status is stable, your quality of life is improving, and your material wealth satisfies you.

You will achieve your dreams, your plans will come true. You will achieve what you want, but in addition to this, you will also receive a stable position, preserving what you previously achieved. Your position will allow you to enjoy your life and not think about the future.

Your life is quite predictable, but for that reason it is devoid of unnecessary worries and worries; calculated moves will allow you to foresee almost everything. This predictability brings you peace and security, pleasure from life and a strong state of affairs.

Man is accustomed to relying only on himself and using only his own resources. Calmness, seriousness, responsibility, confidence are the strengths of a person. He is good at resolving problems and can lead others, but is unable to resolve a situation that was not part of the plans or is different from the standard situation.

Interpretation of the inverted position

Keys: self-confident person, selfish, greedy. Anxious states, being limited by the boundaries of one’s thinking, expecting something, obstacles on the way, opposition. Stinginess, both monetary and emotional. Limitation. Closed position. A fixated position on personal interests and results. Obsession with money. Losses in the financial sector, an unstable state of affairs. Reduced income and earning potential. An indecisive person, lost control over the situation. Dissatisfaction with one's position, difficulties in business.

Problems in the financial sphere, difficulties with property, distorted attitude towards money. The Four of Pentacles reveals the following issues of a person’s character:

• Constant race for profit, money, benefit.
• Greed, snobbery,
• Fears of losing property and money.
• Stinginess or excessive spending.

From this we can conclude that a person is mainly interested in his financial situation and money. Such a person evaluates other people by the thickness of their wallet, property and appearance. A person is always haunted by quarrels and conflicts based on money.

Your attitude towards money creates problems not only for you, but also for those around you. Being obsessed with money will not lead to any good. On the one hand, it seems that everything has been calculated and taken into account, but in fact the result is loss, decreased income, lack of opportunities to earn money, problems in relationships with family and friends. You deliberately turn away from everyone and focus on the money sphere. There is a great risk of experiencing loss and loneliness instead of joy, when no one will come to the rescue.

Advice: change your attitude towards money, profit and benefit, do not chase after all possible and impossible ways to earn or win money.

Four of Pentacles in Relationships

Straight position. A person is satisfied with his position, and he is not ready to make any adjustments, so there may be isolation or reluctance to make contact and talk. A stable and serious relationship is not as important to a person as a stable financial situation. And if we are talking about choosing a career or a relationship, then a person will choose a career and money. A person’s own habits are more important than building relationships. One’s own integrity and satisfaction of one’s needs is the first and main task of a person.

It is impossible to foresee everything, but it makes sense to prepare, analyze the situation and draw the necessary conclusions.

Four of Pentacles about the current situation

Straight position. It is necessary to rationally use your resources, strictly set boundaries and plans, and adhere to these guidelines. Only targeted expenses are needed, the rest can be postponed. The card makes it clear that the situation is stable, the situation is stable and there is no need to worry about trifles.

In building something new, be it a house, a relationship, a job, you put maximum effort, while calculating your steps several moves ahead. Finishing the work started, completing and summing up the interim result.

The energy received should be directed in the right direction, and not spent on meaningless ideas and plans that have no possibility of implementation, at least for now.

Key phrase of the Four of Pentacles: a bird in the hand is better than a pie in the sky. Take care of your savings.

Excessive spending, pointless investments, stinginess - these are things to think about. Your desire to control prevents you from creating a plan of action, so you miss not only small problems, but also difficult moments.

Advice: when making decisions, remove emotions, control yourself first. Learn to seek compromises and give in when you see that the gain is not yours.

After drawing the Four of Pentacles, you should ask yourself the following questions:

• What are you currently in control of? How do you have the confidence that everything is in your hands?
• What resources do you have? How do you spend your resources?
• What are you a master at?
• How to stabilize the situation?
• What are your fears? Your losses? Experience from past situations.
• What or who is trying to deprive you of your property?
• When can you tell yourself that you have enough, that it makes sense to stop?
• What is safety to you?

1. The desire to control everything from the surrounding space to the smallest events.
2. Always assess the situation adequately and soberly.

Card advice in fortune telling by one card. There is no point in taking unnecessary risks today. Do not forget about caution and prudence; in pursuit of results, you may miss details. Something may not go according to plan, so be prepared to act according to circumstances and adapt to the situation, or turn the situation in your favor. Don't stop at one question.

Fourth Minor Arcana of Pentacles, the Tarot deck is called “Possession and Power”. And there is an objective explanation for this. When it comes to money, success, love - everything that has already been acquired, it is common for a person to feel a certain power over his own estate.

Four of Pentacles (first card in image) - Fourth Minor Arcana

The attitude towards personal property takes on the character of fixation and obsession. But how long will the holding time last? Will it be possible to maintain stability? Is there a high probability of loss? The Four of Pentacles card will answer these questions.

Interpretation of the card

Anyone who held Tarot cards in their hands should have paid attention to the image of an eccentric rich man sitting on a sturdy throne. His head is adorned with a shiny crown with a coin on top, he clutches the second coin tightly in his hands, and stands steadfastly with his feet for two more. And the facial expression is not at all complacent. And for good reason. A person has accumulated his own fortune, but as soon as he takes a step or opens his hand, or rises, the coins are lost.

This is the sacred essence of the card. The Four of Pentacles of the Tarot in the classic layout means a person’s zealous attitude towards the existing savings of both material and spiritual principles (capital, love, career). He does not want to give his wealth to anyone, because losing money means losing power. Therefore, the figure on the map radiates anger and anxiety.

The constituent characteristics of the Four of Pentacles are associated with astrological concepts. Saturn is associated with it, which has always symbolized care, overcoming unfavorable situations, as well as Mercury, which in mythology was identified with trade and profit. Hence the different names of the cards: Four of Money, Four of Gold, Four of Wealth, etc.

Layouts

Such a Four has extraordinary energy. In special situations, the card helps prevent trouble, warns, and warns. But we dare to note that practicing magicians attach such importance to the Arcanum, while amateurs and beginners accept it as a sharply negative phenomenon, such as refusal of a major deal, cooperation with a money-greedy person. Let's name the layouts requested by society, in which the Money Four will play a leading role:

• stable personal relationships;
• finance and success;
• health and vitality;
• harmony with the inner self.

The Four of Pentacles is an important card in financial readings.

For all its simplicity of design and content, the map is by no means simple. In some situations it will reflect a calculating attitude, and in others - a sense of independence, solid ground.

Love Ties

In scenarios for a love affair, the Four often has a negative meaning. But don’t rush to get upset, first wait to see which side the Arcanum lands on.

If the card is in a straight position, there is nothing to worry about. Many magicians claim that the meaning in this case is the reliability of the partner, confidence in the future. Although this confidence is not real. Due to the fact that a person is afraid to be left alone, he imposes his vision, and his attitude towards ordinary things, love conflicts, even with the truest feelings, often occur.

But there are other views on the meaning of the Four of Coins in a love chart, which are far from benevolent:

Ownership feeling

The card indicates that there is a person next to you who does not love, but only owns you. This person is an owner by nature, which is not good for either you or him.

Stagnation and unwillingness to change fate

You notice that you have been dating a person for a long time, but he is in no hurry to legitimize the relationship. The situation “I’m fine as it is” is just for him. He doesn’t want to share himself and won’t.

The Four of Pentacles inverted prophesies a quarrel, a disagreement. More often this happens due to a lack of money in the family. And the worst thing is that it reveals the truth about the existence of financial dependence of one of the partners. Thus, we are dealing with the “contamination” of a love affair, where two people will never give in and are unlikely to find reconciliation. But they will live together, because for someone, losing is much worse than not loving.

Career ladder and achieving financial benefits

The four were not very happy when it came to lovemaking either. There is hope that it will bring success in your career and increase capital. Tarologists claim that the card denotes an attitude towards a business that generates income, and this is the main criterion for characterization. In the upright position, the Four of Coins is a symbol of a person’s professionalism, his desire to achieve results in his own field of activity. She seems to convince: “Yes, you are better, and you deserve such a condition.”

But is everything so good when the inverted amrakha falls? Will everything possible go upside down? Here's what it means:

Biased organization of the workplace

Sometimes, a person simply inflates balloons and rolls out the red carpet to “show off” his own company and himself as a boss, although in fact the business is unrespectable and has no demand.

External barriers

Where there is money, there are always obstacles, barriers that not everyone can jump over.

Monetary losses and ruin. The card is lying incorrectly - the figure on it seems to have moved, which means one thing - financial capital will gradually be lost.

This Arcanum is combined with a feeling of fear, loss of self-control, and excessive stupor. Such feelings are caused by the fear of being left with nothing.

About health

What does the 4 of pentacles of the Tarot mean in terms of health? It’s unfortunate, but the card conveys a person’s bad attitude towards his own body. Again, the main message is power. And no matter how absurd it may sound, even here a person is not able to give what is his.

The Four of Pentacles in a health reading means that a person does not take care of himself (for example, does not lose weight if he is overweight)

An elementary example: if he is overweight, he will not lose weight, because this means losing. But for the real owner it is unpleasant and even embarrassing. Yes, this is wrong. But it is useless to bring anything to light. In the practice of tarot readers, there is even a special name for such a situation - “the norm on the verge of pathology.” A person, no matter what age he is, takes it out on an old man: he has accumulated chronic diseases over the years, but lives with them without even noticing.

When making a health reading, we also monitor the position of the Tarot chip. Falling out in the correct position, it warns of danger, but the main importance is the stability of the condition when correct mode. Falling out upside down indicates an excess of strength. You need to take care, not delay going to the doctor, and pay attention to the diseased areas of the body. There should be no savings on health! Although it will be difficult to explain this to a curmudgeon.

Personality assessment

Do you know the feeling when you check your luggage at the airport and worry about things during a long flight? This is exactly the feeling that overtook the person who ordered the reading for personal problems caused by disharmony with the internal and external world.

Tarot card Four of Pentacles is a sign of anxiety. The person is worried and afraid. He spends his own energy to protect his condition. It's like an obsession that won't lead to good. Let's define the main characteristics:

1. Panic state: do a lot, but not become poor.
2. Limited horizons: I see only what is in front of me.
3. Shell-like appearance: I don’t need anyone.
4. Stability is the goal in life. Unforeseen expenses - no way. Extra joy - why? He is persistent in his thoughts and actions, which ultimately leads to inconsolable pride.
5. Detachment from nobility and humanity. Any kind of good deed is a step towards ruin. Is this what a greedy person, a penny-drinker and a possessor would want?

Both the upright position of the Four Denarii and the inverted position convey a negative meaning. In the first case, it is prudence, pragmatism, distance from everyone, internal isolation. A voice from within guides a person. In the second case, we are dealing with futility. The fixed idea of ​​“protecting your own wealth” (which most often means money) becomes the reason for the creation of a special world, this is the world of only one.

The value of a money card in combination with others

In readings, the Four of Pentacles often appears in combination with other cards in the Tarot deck. Note that in combination it is easier to correctly and more truthfully interpret the essence of the Four Denarii. With any combination, it does not lose its main meaning, which was discussed above.

Negative connections with the Four

What connections should you be afraid of?

With the Jester

This combination means extreme instability, stinginess, and uncertainty.

With Tower

For a capricious loner, such a connection promises the negative consequences of isolation, isolation from the outside world and from loved ones.

With the Emperor

It’s such a creepy combination because it means increased control over property (including family members, a loved one).

With the Devil

An unpleasant combination that openly speaks of a person’s stinginess and greed. He is ready to do anything for money.

With the Hermit

Fear of changes in life, which was mentioned more than once in the analysis of the Four of Coins, now predicts a lull in business, obstacles that arose as a result of various reasons.

Positive connections with the Four

With some cards, the four changes a negative meaning to the opposite, positive. And this is worth taking advantage of.

With the Knight of Pentacles

The combination of cards is favorable to the person who ordered the layout. She foretells a gift that will be useful in expanding the fortune.

With Moderation

This pleasant combination means thoughtful spending of money, which means that the savings of what one has acquired is preserved, the person is far from poverty and bankruptcy.

With the Star

The connection of cards is important in a love reading. The meaning of this connection is a reverent relationship with a partner, his willingness to give care.

With the Magician

An appropriate connection in a career chart. If you happen to have such a combination, fate itself manages your affairs, you can safely take advantage of this and open your own business.

With Strength

In any situation, the combination is appropriate. After all, adding strength to conquer new heights has never been superfluous.

If the Four of Pentacles fell to you as the card of the year, be prepared for a chaotic year, instability and possible losses in capital. But don't you dare despair. Arkan's recommendation is to move confidently towards your goal, appreciate what you have. After all, you can be happy even with a tit in your hands!

Miser. A strong grip. Take care of what you have. Prosperity. Hoarding. Inability to share. Preoccupation with material success. Excess savings that are not realized. Stagnation of energy. Inability to move on. Fear of any change. Fear of open relationships. Coldness of feelings. Greed that will lead to loneliness. Limited horizons.

Advice
Just act with confidence and do not expose yourself to any risk.

Warning
Do not “stick your heart” to anyone or anything: if a catastrophe happens to you, it will be only because of this.

Card of the day
Today you are determined to win, so you remind yourself to be careful, although in reality you simply lack the strength and ability to win. You are too fixated on something that actually interferes with the implementation of your plans, so most likely you will end up with something exactly the opposite of what you wanted. It’s better to remember that any initiative is punishable because it violates the secret passage of space chips. And, just in case, check what exactly prompted you to intervene in the course of events - fear of your own future or concern for higher things? Based on this, you need to build a plan for today.

Reversed card
Quarrels over property, inheritance. Extreme need for money. Refusal of a loan or credit. Budget problems. Expenses exceeding income. Extravagance. Poverty.

The image of the Four of Pentacles speaks of a preoccupation with material phenomena and the desire to hold on to what already exists.
You see that a person has pentacles all around, but he cannot cover his back - behind the person is a city that cannot be controlled.

This suggests that no matter how hard you try to protect yourself, there is always room for surprises in life.
This man's position outside the city means that he must first take care of himself and only then about others.

However, it is also possible that he is now strengthening his powers to help those less fortunate.

Questions to ask yourself when drawing the Four of Pentacles

• What are you afraid of?
  What do you have to lose?
• Is someone trying to deprive you of something or someone?
• What is “enough” for you?
• What do you need to feel safe in this changing world?
• What are you guarding or protecting?

Key Ideas

Be (within reason!) generous with the people around you and with yourself.

You may be afraid of loss, but you have nothing to fear except fear itself.
Feel special, different from others.
If you appreciate and understand yourself, other people will see the difference and respond to it too.

As a result, your confidence and even your abilities will increase because you will allow yourself more.

Friends

Direct card: You help friends overcome difficulties.
Don't forget about your own problems.

Reversed card: You're not being very generous with your friends, and they notice.

Studies

Direct card: It's good to focus on your studies, but don't forget to give yourself a break.

Reversed card: Cheating in exams is not the way to become a leader.
Don't even think about it.

Dating

Direct card: When dating someone, don't smother your partner with jealousy.

They will want to get away from you - and they will be right.
Reversed card: Don't try to control everyone.
This will not bring people closer to you; on the contrary, it will push them away.

Family

Direct card: Everything in your family is safe and secure.

There is no reason to be uncertain.
Everything will be fine.
Reversed card: At home there is too little participation and compromise.
Everyone is busy with themselves, does not listen to each other and does not make concessions.

Interests

Direct card: The fact that you have little money should not stop you from enjoying life.

Still, the best thing about it is that it's free.
Reversed card: You become too preoccupied with the material world.
Beware of this!

Health/Appearance

Direct card: You look like a million dollars!

Reversed card: If you don't feel good, you won't look good.
The cost of clothes and hairstyles does not play a role here.

Money

Direct card: This is the card of King Midas, the love of wealth and luxury.

You will have more money than usual, but it is better to save it for a rainy day.
Remember that money is not everything: yes, we all need financial security and safety, but in life there is much that is equivalent to this, and there is something more important.

Reversed card: Watch your spending - now it's easy to spend more than you earn.

Fortune telling in half a minute

Madge was getting ready for a party and was agonizing over how best to dress.

She turned to the Tarot and pulled out the Four of Pentacles - it was a warning.
Cards prefer to be treated with respect.
It is better to consult cards when making important decisions, and not bother them with superficial, fleeting questions.

A pentacle held by a man signifies possession.
His calm expression may mask a dangerous complacency.
Stagnation.
If you are afraid of wolves, do not go into the forest.
This card symbolizes fear of risk and lack of faith in oneself.

Solving any issues, both material and emotional, requires certain actions and the ability to take risks.
In the Tarot of Herbs, this card contains an image of a seated figure with three discs in front of her and one above her head.

She clutches one of the Pentacles to herself and seems filled with calm and confidence, but at the same time devoid of any animation or inspiration.
The warning here is that while we may feel confident and secure when we have any material possessions, the desire for material security can stifle our growth as individuals.

While it's great to be financially independent, the desire to hold on to what we already have can stifle our inner growth and block our creative energy, causing us to stop moving forward and instead become limited to what is familiar to us.

When we place too much emphasis on the material realm, we can lose our vitality and inspiration.
Our over-caution becomes an obstacle to further change, and we develop an excessive sense of possessiveness.

We may even begin to suspect other people of unworthy motives.
This card invites us to let go of our fear of letting go of our wealth and realize why we hold on to our possessions and our emotions so tenaciously.

Interpretation

The Four of Pentacles in a reading can mean that you feel bogged down in material worries.
She warns about the danger of being too stingy in material resources or in the manifestation of your feelings - you must share what you have, otherwise you will suffocate in the musty air of your limited life.

Your self-esteem may be too dependent on the possession of material things, and you will need to free yourself from certain views in order to properly re-evaluate your personality.
This card predicts strong and long-term financial well-being if you manage to become more flexible in relation to property issues.

The Four of Coins is a card of possession, a feeling that it is necessary to protect one’s property.

Inner meaning

This is the card of owning and keeping what belongs to you.
The property is yours by right; you earned or inherited it.

(Note that "inherited" possessions include skill and talent.) This card also suggests that the Questioner feels a need to defend or protect his possessions.
Other cards in the layout will indicate whether this feeling is justified or not.

This card also warns that resting on your laurels may be nice, but it prevents you from moving forward and preparing yourself for the future.

Value in the layout

Direct or positive: property, talent, gift.

Preserving what belongs to you.
Inheritance.
Satisfaction with personal status In addition, an established situation in business or personal life; no worries.
Good feelings about the future.

Reversed or negative: opposition, uncertainty, delays, obstacles.
Possible loss.
Possible quarrels, especially with people close to the Questioner (for example, quarrels over property or inheritance).

Constructive work The Three consolidates into the Four, giving material wealth and power.
In modern decks, it is primarily associated with the control and protection of resources, with stabilization and setting limits.

It can also mean that you are avoiding passion in your relationship.
Although traditional interpretations emphasize kindness and generosity, more recent interpretations emphasize the aspect of selfishness and self-service.

Your energy is now focused on accumulating material possessions, power and wealth and making sure you can maintain and protect them.
This may mean retiring and saving money, but on the other hand it may mean starting a new business or political empire.

In any case, safety comes first.
This card is sometimes called "the miser": it brings to mind King Midas, who with one touch turned everything into gold - including his own daughter.

The passion for hoarding can take over you and, alas, become your master.
Along with acquisitiveness and collecting supplies comes fear of loss, constipation begins, and a person loses the ability to compassion.

Perhaps you have forgotten how to relax and let go of problems.
On the card of the Waite-Smith deck, the figure covers the heart area with a shield to protect against attacks.
This gesture means presenting your rights to the occupied territory.

On the other hand, you may miss the security, comfort and self-worth of this card.
It symbolizes stability, security and inner strength, which comes from the solar plexus - the energy center of your body.

This deep-rootedness perhaps explains this card's traditional association with root vegetables.
Traditional meanings: kindness, generosity, liberality.
Gift, grace, gift.
Offer, offering.

Additional benefits.
Lunar medicine.
Roots.
Pleasure, joy, fun.
Successful establishment of a business or enterprise.
Investments.
Fear of loss.

Reversed Four of Pentacles

The Reversed Four of Pentacles signifies liberation, risk, and change, which both Pentacles and Fours usually find it difficult to accept.

Your reaction in any case will be quite extreme: either more fear, greed and aggressive defense, or a complete renunciation of power and property in the spirit of Siddhartha Gautama and other Indian ascetic saints.

Traditional interpretations involve restrictions and external pressures that are not your fault, but which are nonetheless fraught with obstacles, delays, and regression.
Perhaps your sink drain is literally clogged.

It may seem to you that you are surrounded on all sides and are not allowed to take a step.
At work, you could reach your ceiling and lose prospects for further promotion.
On the other hand, you may be prone to spending, speculating or gambling.

Products may drop in price and payments may be charged.
In terms of investment, this card is far from the most favorable sign: Impracticality and lack of control (or lack of “grounding”) can hinder decision-making.

Regardless of the specific reasons, you are most likely dissatisfied with your financial and material situation.
When projecting this card onto others, you may feel that they need to be controlled or that they are desperately clinging to what they have.

If other cards in the spread confirm this, relaxation and stress relief can be seen in the Four of Pentacles.
You can let go of resources and obligations that have been taking up all your attention, or remove defense mechanisms so that you can finally begin to openly express your feelings.

You can resist the government or even try to overthrow it (although your actions cannot be called particularly revolutionary) or break someone else's monopoly.
Now is a good time to reconsider what in your life needs to be protected and where your personal center of power lies.

From a magical and shamanic point of view, the card signifies the possession of power through magical tools and talismans.
It may also speak of possession by a deity or spirit that demands the sacrifice of property, social status and power in exchange for healing.

Thanks to such obsession, a person whose rights are narrow and whose ability to control is small can achieve great success.
Traditional Reversed Meanings: limited space, perimeter, circle.

Clogging, difficulty.
Monopolization.
Secluded, confined.
Fixed, prescribed.
Borders, mileposts.
Interferences, obstacles, delays in payments.
Financial losses.
Failure in exams.

Description of the card and its internal meaning

A good illustration for the Arcana Four of Coins - a greedy child who does not want to share his toys.

There is some truth in this.
This card describes the property of the Questioner and everything that rightfully belongs to him.
Only his behavior will not be caused by greed, but by a feeling of the need to protect his property.

Other cards in the layout will tell you how justified this premonition turns out to be.
The questioner has achieved a lot: the fruits of the first success have been received, the first attempt to improve life has been realized.
At this stage, a person knows the value of money and holds on to it tightly.

On the other hand, the Four of Coins pushes the Questioner to move forward, forces him not to rest on his laurels, but to prepare himself for the future.
After all, not all tasks have been completed yet, a high position has not yet been occupied, everything possible has not yet been obtained, there is clearly little available.

You can live a long time, being content with little, but the Questioner is afraid to move forward, he is afraid of the road into the unknown.
In this case, it is necessary to carefully study the alignment in order to determine what the Questioner should do: either continue to hold the bird in his hands, or strive to catch the crane in the sky.

Connection of the card with other occult sciences

Letter - G, number - 4, Ruled by the planet - Mars, zodiac signs - Taurus, Capricorn, Correspondence according to the Book of Changes - 45 hexagram ("Reunion"), Weather conditions - cloudy, wind, Corresponding color - blue, According to Kabbalah - corresponds to the sephira Chesed.

Card meaning

Straight position

The questioner has some property.
All this belongs to him by right.
However, wealth can be not only material values, but also abilities and innate talent.

The Four of Coins does not exclude the possibility of the Questioner receiving some share of the inheritance, speaks of the established situation in business and love, promises to receive material assistance and self-confidence.

Surrounded by unfavorable cards, this Arcanum warns the Questioner about impending financial problems and calls on them to protect their property.

Inverted position

In this case, the Four of Coins confirms the Questioner’s worst fears: he will have to endure difficult trials, hardships and even losses in the struggle for his wealth.

Often this card in an inverted position indicates the division of property, quarrels with relatives over inheritance.
This card can also be seen as advice to refrain from thoughtless material spending.

Perhaps the Questioner is tired of feeling constrained and limited.
He feels an internal protest, which manifests itself in the desire to live “in grand style.”
But such a love of freedom, a clear reluctance to take into account norms, still should not cause frivolous extravagance.

Daniela Chris. "Magic book of Tarot. Fortune telling."

The Four of Pentacles is a card of a stable financial situation, complete control over the situation.
Discipline and organization bring you financial wealth.
You follow the motto: "Money is power!" Often indicates a strong possessive instinct.

You have already achieved what you strived for, and you no longer dream of new heights.
No matter what they tell you about the need for further growth, you just brush it off - they say, that’s enough for now.
You do not intend to make any efforts to obtain even greater benefits.

Inverted is the complete opposite of the direct meaning.
Loss of control over the situation, loss of financial stability due to one’s own carelessness.
The money is flowing to no one knows where.
Feeling of complete powerlessness.

Astrological meaning: Saturn in the second house as a symbol of concern for the future due to unfavorable circumstances.
FOUR DENARIUS The Four of Denarii signifies excessive preoccupation with the future, manifested in greed, stinginess and a deep-rooted fear of any change.

Such an “attitude” is inherently hostile to life, because any attempts to “stop the moment”, to keep everything as it is, are not only in vain, but also contradict the natural course of things.
Thus, this card usually indicates that we are one step away from stagnation (stagnation), and is often a harbinger of the Tower (16), meaning the rupture of the hardened crust.

If the Four of Denarii finds itself in a position that requires such behavior from us, then this means that at the moment we need to concentrate, limit ourselves in something, retreat - or, having taken up the matter, not let it out of our hands.

Power Third decade of Capricorn from January 10 to 19.
Astrological equivalents: Mercury, Mars, Uranus in Cancer, houses Second and Fourth.
The third decade of Capricorn symbolizes the achievement of real material results, reliance on reliable foundations and a firm conviction in the correctness of one’s path.

This decade is characterized by practicality, constructive use of opportunities and an objective understanding of one’s benefits.
This decade is ruled by the Sun, and it poses the problem of how to manage the material abundance that life provides.

Understanding the power of material values ​​either forces one to accumulate wealth in fear of poverty, or to renounce its self-sufficient power for the sake of one’s freedom and lose everything completely.
Representatives of this decade show interest in the struggle for survival in extreme conditions, which allows them to reveal the potential capabilities of the individual, the implementation of which is limited by society.

People of this decade have natural taste: imperfection does not satisfy them.
This decade symbolizes a person’s acquisition of all the material values ​​he needs for life and future activities.

Trap.
Stubbornness, inertia.
Straight position: In the upright position, the card symbolizes a certain ecological niche occupied by a person in society.
The Four of Pentacles is reliable, there is no room for chance here.

The success achieved here is natural and is the result of painstaking work.
The Four of Pentacles can symbolize a small, drab and boring home life.
These are safety, reliability, order in the house, financial stability (meager but regular pension), health (the norm is on the verge of pathology).

Strength, character, worldly needs, someone who knows what he wants, is true to his point of view, has a strong character.
Reliable partner.
A person who achieves success (but small).
The theme of the Four of Pentacles clearly echoes the theme of Cancer and the planets significant in this sign - Jupiter and the Moon.

Gifts, patronage, social benefits, and humanitarian aid can pass through Jupiter.
The moon emphasizes the importance of home, family, and reliability.
At the same time, the Four of Pentacles can sometimes mean greed.

“I earned it through hard work and I’m not going to share it with anyone.”
Ignorance explained by unseemly pretexts (“I have a family and children”).
Inverted position: In an inverted position, the Four of Pentacles indicates the negative manifestations associated with the sign of Cancer.

These are monetary losses, disorder in the world around us, especially at home; disorder in business, inability to get together, organize, laxity, obstacle, cessation of regular income, limbo, wastefulness.

Through this map there are such concepts as “my hut is on the edge”, “my shirt is closer to the body”.
The inverted Four of Pentacles is associated with the concept of a border and symbolizes a fence, enclosure, or any kind of demarcation of areas.

This can apply to both land and work (everyone takes their part).

A rich man sits on a stool; the city is visible behind him.
A man holds one denarius in his hands, another adorns his hat, and the other two lie under his feet.
This card could be called “Gried” - however, more in a moral sense than in a material one.

He is afraid or ashamed to show his feelings, each time he thinks for a long time: is it possible, is it necessary to show a loved one that he loves him?
Is it possible to be guided by the movement of the soul, isn’t cold calculation better?

But if you don’t spend energy, they dry up: if you save feelings, they “peroxide” and can eventually turn into their opposite.
The person remains lonely.
Don't be shy about your feelings, this card says; not everything in the world is verified by cold calculation.

In the “Tarot of Aquarius” it shows a person who has already overcome this “greed” of his.
In the practice of fortune telling, it can have direct meaning– for example, you will be denied a loan or credit.
In the direct situation, the matter is still fixable: you can convince a person to share his feelings with others or apply for money at a different address.

Inverted: The matter is practically hopeless: you can’t convince a person, and they won’t give you a loan anywhere.
