Four of Pentacles

Traditional Meaning

Security. Maintaining financial stability.

Going Deeper

Life is relatively stable when the four shows up, but it stresses a couple of things you must watch out for. First, you should be aware that you could do an awful lot better than whatever you are doing now. This card indicates you have far more talent and intelligence than you currently use. This is fine (and understandable) if you want some stability, yet you need to realise you are, in fact, digging a hole for yourself. The other point is that you could be hoarding your money when others currently need you to share. This card can often indicate that you are hoarding everything from your time, talent, and money to the core of your soul itself. We are born to make the most of our gifts, which means giving a little of everything we have. This card can sometimes indicate a new house but usually indicates the ‘settled in’ period. If you're experiencing financial uncertainty, this card can often bring some welcome relief. There's nothing wrong with playing the game for a while.

Astro Insight

This card is linked to the Sun in Capricorn, and the higher meaning of Capricorn is that we must make public use of all resources we possess.

Examples With Other Cards

If the five of pentacles follows this card in a reading, you need to be on guard around your finances. On the one hand, it could be said that you need to conserve your resources, yet on the other, you may need to take a risk to avoid any impending poverty. Your income may not be changing, but costs could be going up, in which case you need to make adjustments now before you don't have enough to make ends meet.
