Four of Pentacles Tarot Card Description
In the Rider Waite deck, the card shows a man sitting on a cubic stone, holding on tightly to a gold coin. His arms are folded in an infinity symbol, symbolising the flow of abundance. One coin is balanced on his head on which a crown is placed, while two are securely placed under his feet(symbolising earthly possessions). The crown is symbolic of the man being a ruler or owner of a thriving business. He is unable to move because he is holding on tightly to his possessions. The city in the background symbolises opportunities.
When the Four of Pentacles appears in a reading, it depicts a hard-working person, who puts his efforts and skills to build a good fortune for himself and others. But this money, instead of being a source of pleasure, becomes a source of stress and anxiety to him as the owner is always in fear of losing it or not having enough of it. The card is thus, often referred to as the ‘Miser Card’.
This card is also indicative of the need to strengthen one’s self-worth and find security within oneself.
It also points to the stubbornness in the situation or the seeker. Preferring to keep to himself, this person can be quite unapproachable.
