In the astrological aspect of the Four of Pentacles, Saturn is present in the second house of the horoscope, as a symbol of the need for a person to protect his property from encroachment. The meaning of the Tarot 4 of Pentacles varies depending on the position of the lasso and how it is combined with other cards.

Description of the minor arcana

Direct position

The Four of Pentacles symbolizes all the property that a person owns. and the desire not only to preserve it, but also to increase it.

In the Thoth Tarot deck, the lasso symbolizes stability, security, and control. But in a deck of 78 doors, a card means a hopeless situation, meanness and devastation.

upside down

In this position, the Four of Pentacles may indicate that the fortuneteller is too attached to material things. He tries to surround himself with all sorts of comforts and save up some capital for the future, while almost forgetting to pay attention to his personal and social life.

The person is in a state of intense nervous tension which sooner or later will result in quarrels and conflicts with others.

layouts

well-being

The four disks say that at the moment the person is quite healthy, but if he continues to pay so much attention to work, then his health may deteriorate sharply. He should take more time to rest. This is especially true for older people. Household duties and work moments can wait, allow yourself to relax a little.

In reverse may indicate slagging of the body, blockage of blood vessels and problems with being overweight.

Close relations

In the layouts for personal life, the lasso most often gives a negative interpretation. The Four of Pentacles speaks of a person's unwillingness to be in a stable, serious relationship. He does not want to change anything in life, he remains faithful to his own habits in everything.

In an inverted position, it will mean a feeling of jealousy and possessive behavior.. The fortuneteller tries to keep what he has, but does not want to give the relationship further development.

Question

If a person turns to the cards with a specific question, then the Four of Pentacles will indicate that the situation is in limbo.

One wrong deed or casually thrown phrase can either lift you to the top or discount you. Perhaps you should let go of the problem and see from the side how events will develop.

In an inverted meaning, the lasso means conflicts with loved ones that your activity can lead to. The appearance of feelings of resentment and powerlessness.

Affairs and career

The card describes something built with difficulty, but with a certain margin of safety. It can be anything - business, health, relationships or a value system. This "something" looks reliable, but in fact it is devoid of elasticity and adaptive abilities. This is a card of possession and preservation of what belongs to us, satisfaction with the current situation and the desire to keep it. This is the focus of the energy of a person who has the Four of Pentacles.

It symbolizes prudence and careful planning, the willingness to act to achieve the desired stability, or to maintain the existing order. It gives a feeling of the ground under one's feet, but...also a feeling that some factor threatens the current stability, so that there is a need to protect one's possession (akin to the Nine of Wands). Selfishness and greed, the desire to protect their values (time, money, various opportunities), fear of loss, unwillingness to share. This is a kind of blocking and stagnation.

Sometimes there are such interpretations as the growth of income and influence, but the word "growth" in its space is still doubtful. The pathos of the Four of Pentacles is fixing what is, and ensuring integrity and security. Resting on protected laurels (quite decent), but it prevents you from moving forward and preparing yourself for the future.

The Four of Pentacles symbolizes the end of the process, the beginning of which we saw in the sign of Ace, and the point of ascent - in the Three of Pentacles. The four says that a person has achieved what he wants and is no longer striving for new heights: and so, what is enough is enough. There is no intention to make any efforts for the sake of gaining more. The ancient meaning is a person who achieves success, but not much. The card symbolizes a certain "ecological niche" occupied by a person in society - he has made his way somewhere, achieved something, is trying to hold on. The success achieved here is natural and is the result of efforts.

The best thing that gives the energy of this card is stability and order, gaining some kind of control over what haunts. Crowley believed that it brings long-term stability and security, but the problem is that a person feels much more anxiety about it than security, and this anxiety just prompts him to take actions for further self-defense. The energy of this card does not allow "all accidents", and there are so many of them in life!

In fact, in dangerous and confusing situations, the energy of the Four of Pentacles is good and somewhere even saving. It helps not to go crazy, to keep the borders, to stand on its own, to protect itself from an external threat. At the same time, the meaning of a vicious circle and the game of "yes, but ..." is quite strong in it.

Sometimes the card portends a clash with "law and order", interaction with some kind of bureaucratic, administrative structures.

One of the traditional meanings is an expensive gift. In general, in the old interpreters, only positive values are attributed to the map, especially from the point of view of the people of that era - property, inheritance; remuneration, benefits, services, favors; also - the absence of anxiety, reliability and order in the house, a strong position. So you see a decent tradesman, maybe even in the nobility (the crown on the head of the character). It is difficult for a modern person to directly identify with this way himself, so the appearance of this card in the layout has often been perceived negatively - something like a collision with a miser who will refuse a loan.

The mystery of this card is a vicious circle, a limited space.

Obsessed, wary and possessive - the kind we experience at the airport or train station, worrying about the safety of our luggage. This is a card of control and anxiety. If the Four of Pentacles is rolled, there is fear for existence, great hidden anxiety and an urgent need for protection. She expresses suspiciousness, stubbornness and great unwillingness to take any risks.

All energy is spent on maintaining the status quo (nothing leaves, although nothing can come). We go around in circles, clinging to the current situation from a desire for stability and security that has become almost an obsession.

The Man of the Four of Pentacles does not let go of his bags - and he will not leave a suitcase without a handle either. In this sense, it is like an immovable fortress. "First-class miser," that's what I want to say. He is afraid of falling into poverty in his old age. He is afraid of losing anything (if the Nine of Swords is also nearby, then just in a panic).

He tends to tremble for his money, if he is a businessman, for his loved ones, if he is the father of the family, for his place in the troupe, if he is an artist (and the status of the prime minister will only increase his fears) .... you can continue indefinitely. Perhaps, at present, the questioner is defending himself from some kind of attacks against him. According to it, a person tends to observe extreme caution in everything, shaking for his good, as he understands it.

She describes selfishness, greed, narrowness of views, pettiness, and what they will concern - money, relationships, etc., is another matter. Loyalty to your habits, unwillingness to change anything is one of the main keys of this card. "A crusader of his principles", and even more precisely - a "tank" (the presence of a shell, narrow visibility, tightness, while obsessing over his "combat mission").

Power and inflexibility in the struggle for order, stability and structure in life. Maintaining these standards seems more important than cheerfulness and humanity.
The person of the Four of Pentacles definitely has a personality, albeit a rather unpleasant one, and knows what he wants and doesn't want, sometimes too well, and in the end it all comes down to serving himself to his beloved.

The best that this card can give is practicality and organizational talent within narrow limits, the ability to rely only on oneself, the achievement of material security and the ability to cope with any difficult life situation while maintaining control. The worst is the squalor of greed, expressed in complete distrust of others, recalculating everything for money and readiness for any meanness for the sake of one's interests.

At the same time, a person is characterized by a lack of compassion and ignobleness, explained by plausible pretexts (“I have a family and children”, “I earned it with hard work and am not going to share it with anyone”, etc.) In the middle between these states is increased caution, which can take a variety of forms (“normal heroes always go around” with the Seven of Swords, “how terrible it is to live” with the Moon, etc.) It characterizes a person who is firmly on his feet, but at the same time conservative to the point of timidity: he is afraid to take the slightest step aside, if only not to bring something new into your life, which means something unfamiliar.

This card can also "overtake" a creative person (by the way, one of its meanings is hereditary talent). In this case, she can say that he clings to his laurels or to his usual way of working, it is difficult for him to trust the flow and he blocks his own creative abilities within the well-trodden rut. There may also be an obsession with some fixed idea, not necessarily a material one. Although, in general, this card often describes that specific degradation of consciousness that overtakes a person, if he worries about money matters from morning to night (whether it be a “piece of bread” or deals with elite real estate) - interests are catastrophically narrowed, the psyche stops responding to non-material incentives, and disregard for everything except one's own interests, popularly known as selfishness, flourishes. With a person of the Four of Pentacles, you can’t agree to take risks or drink champagne (you still have to pay for it!)

In the Four of Pentacles, in fact, the hardness and reality of the elements Earth (pentacles) and the numerological stability and orderliness of the Four are in perfect harmony. This is a kind of compact system with its own boundaries and standards. The card depicts a king with a crown on his head, fencing off life with his Pentacles.

He cannot take a step (two pentacles lie under his feet), cannot think about anything else (the third pentacle "presses" on the crown) and is obsessed with the idea of \u200b\u200bprotecting himself and protecting himself (the fourth pentacle closes the center of his body in the manner of a shield). At the same time, this image of a crowned person illustrates the fact that earthly power is often achieved through the concentration of resources, a reverent attitude towards the conquered, and a kind of greed.

On the Arcana of the Tarot Thoth, the “divine city of Jerusalem” is symbolically depicted - the materialization of the presence of God on earth. This Arkan raises the question - what and why from the earth is important to you? A holy place is never empty - where is your “holy place” and what is there? What gods or idols do you serve and worship? Is it not a golden calf (as an option)? As Banzhaf and Akron write, the strength of the Four is not in the matter itself, but in the way we give it meaning and place it at the center of attention. People love things, projecting on them a huge amount of their psychic energy in the form of attachment.

We are rarely truly attached to intangible objects (ideas and principles). To the material - all the time. The soul of another is much more interesting to us if there is a body in which it is found. We idealize what is visible, what can be touched. At its highest level, the "prosaic" Four of Pentacles truly poses the "million dollar questions" - what is the meaning of life? Why do we want to have what we strive for and are terribly disappointed if possession is impossible? What is our purpose?

In the theme of the Four of Pentacles, the theme of Cancer and the planets significant in this sign - Jupiter and the Moon - clearly sound. Gifts, patronage, social benefits, humanitarian aid can pass through Jupiter. The moon accentuates the meaning of home, nepotism, reliability. All together - attachment to the material. In the magical sense, it corresponds to material offerings, donations, gizmos intended for otherworldly inhabitants (including food and drinks), as well as all situations when a person “pays off”, pays for the absolution of sins in the literal sense (a vivid historical example is the practice of indulgences) .

There is an opinion that the card corresponds to the third decade of Capricorn and 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 own 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 makes one accumulate wealth in fear of poverty, or 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 makes it possible to reveal those potential possibilities of the individual, on the realization of which society imposes restrictions. People of this decade have a natural taste: the imperfect does not satisfy them. This decade symbolizes the acquisition by a person of all the material values \u200b\u200bnecessary for his life and further activities.

The opposite of this card is to some extent the Wheel of Fortune. It means precisely the dynamics of change, not retention, but uncontrollability, renunciation of control.

Light and shadow (advice and caution)

Advice: a tit in the hands is definitely better than a crane in the clouds (although it is still not worth squeezing this tit to the point of suffocation). The advice is to protect what has been achieved from external threats, to secure oneself and one's property, to draw clear boundaries around the perimeter of one's territory, to hold fast to one's own, to maintain equanimity, to avoid the slightest risk, to act with certainty in everything. Stick to your plans, do not give up your positions.

Warning: don't buy more than you need, don't treat people like things, and don't get stuck in your approach. Stubbornness, inertia and stagnation - that's what threatens the cause. Do not rest on your laurels - it greatly interferes with preparing for the future. Many authors reasonably note that excessive concern for the future and fear of any changes are essentially hostile to life, because any attempts to "stop the moment", to keep everything as it is, are not only futile, but also contradict the natural course of things. Thus, the Four of Pentacles is a direct path to the Tower, signifying the breaking of the hardened crust.

Through this map there are such concepts as "my hut is on the edge", "my shirt is closer to the body." The Four of Pentacles is associated with the concept of the border and symbolizes the fence, enclosure, any kind of delimitation of plots. This can apply to both land and work (each takes his share). The map quite accurately describes the situations of disengagement, the collapse of groups, companies, the foundation of one's own company, the beginning, so to speak, of a “solo career” (sometimes in the literal sense). Unwillingness to share their power. Unfriendly relations in the team.

Narrow specialization, bureaucratic organizational culture with a tendency to stagnate. A labyrinth of rules, regulations and reinsurance, where an atmosphere of stinginess, pettiness, and sometimes corruption and venality reigns.

According to this card, there is not so much "rest on one's laurels" as convulsive clinging to these same laurels - as they say, feel the difference. In general, power and status are visible here (not for nothing that the Waitian character has a crown on his head), but rather at the level of a petty boss. The best that this card can give is the strengthening of the organization, the concentration of resources, the establishment of order and consistent actions to protect their interests.

Traditionally - a map of merchants, shopkeepers and moneylenders. In the modern sense, insurance companies, financial analysts, and professions related to banking and security structures are most closely related to it. Customs, inspection. Also - activities related to hoarding and protection of collections, museums, galleries.

Traditionally - an inheritance, a strong property position. In general, this card contributes to the concentration of money and other material resources, however, it also brings a clear feeling of their insufficiency. Income, but modest. It can be financial stability like a small but regular salary. Although in themselves the traditional meanings of this card are financial success, reliability, order, material stability.

At best, this card indicates the strengthening of positions, the gradual accumulation, the safety of investments. But it is difficult to feel this very security on it.

This card symbolizes a refuge, so it can perhaps be considered favorable for housing affairs - it may not be a “dream house”, but the questioner will not be left without a roof over his head. One of the traditional meanings of the card is a dwelling in the city.

Emphasis on the inviolability of property, property (it is difficult to rob the owner of the Four of Pentacles - he will tear his own back with his hands). This card always says that the property belongs to the person by right.

This is a card of greed, and if the alignment is to receive financial assistance, then one can hardly count on a particularly good result, although something may fall (it is possible that at a predatory percentage).

An inverted krata is traditionally considered bad for money matters. Unforeseen expenses, financial instability. An unsuccessful business, a decrease in previously accumulated capital, financial losses, in a very negative environment - up to ruin.

Sometimes a “repair fear” passes through this card, that something will happen to good, pettiness, dictatorial narrowness of position. Unwillingness to give up anything, to make the slightest compromise, blatant rigidity and inflexibility, a strong-willed stupor. Card of selfishness, fear, control, self-defense, excessive caution. The desire for security, total unwillingness to take risks, narrowness of ideas, the establishment and protection of boundaries.

The Four of Pentacles has many different meanings in the area of personal life, and almost all of them are quite negative.

Firstly, this is a “not wanting” card. Just the case when a friend or girlfriend is not in a hurry to get married and defends herself in every possible way from this prospect (“I feel so good anyway”). Loyalty to your habits, unwillingness to budge, resistance to change - work here too. The person of the Four of Pentacles believes in the correctness of the chosen path and there is nothing to “catch” here. Sarah Bartlett writes that the Four of Pentacles depicts the most important maverick in the Tarot deck.

Secondly, this is a card of possessive feelings in relationships, the desire to keep "one's own", to protect one's living value (and property). "I will never give you up to anyone." The desire to keep love under lock and key, not to give the partner freedom, not to allow even the slightest share of such a risk. Setting boundaries for the sake of security, fear and desire for complete control over the situation (up to baseness), stemming from the love of well-being as the person himself understands it, and more precisely, from emotional vulnerability and fear of the future. Jealousy (if Swords and the Devil are still nearby - Othello is ready).

According to the Four of Pentacles, a suffocating atmosphere of suspiciousness is often created, where one must constantly give some guarantees to another and prove one's loyalty (read - belonging). This is where agreements and commitments become extremely important. As a peculiar consequence, the avoidance of passion in relationships is quite clearly manifested, since passion is something that destroys boundaries and the usual order.

Sometimes this card indicates the purest union of convenience, where money plays the role of the first and last. In any case, freedom, inspiration, and such other things in these relationships are forgotten very quickly. The atmosphere of boredom, greed and pettiness is not something that adorns a life together. Perhaps the only plus of the Four of Pentacles is loyalty. Loving or not loving, this person is inclined to devotion (“But I am given to another, and I will be faithful to him for a century”), and if this is a deal, he will honestly fulfill his obligations.

This card shows a desire to have solid ground underfoot, as well as a tendency to follow the rules. A person does not allow any uncertainty in matters of love, he does not intend to commit rash acts, in general, a sense of self-preservation replaces all the others for him. "Soil underfoot" and confidence in the future - these are his cult concepts. He is characterized by unwillingness to show his feelings, in general, be guided by the movements of the soul.

The economy of feelings may well lead to the fact that a person repeatedly tries to build relationships solely on the basis of calculation and / or remains lonely.

Key words of the Four of Pentcles - to have, to possess, to belong. She does not like to “give” and open up. As a rule, this card is not about sex, it carries the aspect of rigidity and sensual indifference. In general, it should be noted that Fours (except for Wands) fall out when everything is bad in a relationship. Not the most popular, but interesting meaning of the Four of Pentacles is manifested in the fact that this is a card ... of intimate stinginess, "not giving", refusing to a partner in vital sex for one reason or another.

But as a rule, these reasons lie somewhere in the field of control, anxiety, blockages and banal selfishness, finally. And then - then the head hurts, then the post began, then hockey on TV. We return to where we started - this is a card of "not wanting", not wanting to share themselves with someone else.

If the card describes family life, then most likely it looks like stability and order, the price of which is the loss of novelty, stagnation, lack of movement, obsession with material values and worries, possession and security. The house is characterized by a somewhat “plushkin” atmosphere, when it is very difficult to throw away even the most useless rubbish. This is the case when the relationship is strong - like a good prison.

They function, yes, but they absolutely lack fresh air to truly develop and bloom. The Four of Pentacles often describes something that is firmly stuck and moving in a vicious circle. All sorts of "golden cages" (in this case, more likely - gilded) and "sitting under lock and key" (but "like behind a stone wall") also pass through this map (and the temperature of this wall most likely corresponds to the material from which it is built).

The most traditional meaning is delays, delays, obstacles, restrictions, "overlaid on all sides." The mechanism of action of this card is close to clogging, congestion, constipation, "plug". This may be, for example, in full accordance with the suit, a failure in the system and a point of payments. Also, one of the meanings of the card is failure in exams (also, literally, “did not pass”). Again, credit on this card is unlikely to be given.

At the same time, this card can also have a positive meaning from the point of view of psychology - a person learns to open up, share, step over the barriers of his own fears and defenses. The surrounding cards can tell what will come of it and how the world will respond to an attempt to get out of the shell.

This may indicate a willingness to take risks, including in terms of gambling and speculation. With appropriate surrounding cards, one can expect a more open expression of feelings, a rejection of total security.

King Midas, who turned everything he touched into gold, including close relatives.

An amazing phrase in which a person managed to combine as many as two "four-pentacle" sayings: "The toad strangles to give Caesar what is Caesar's."

Map image description

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

The impression of the Four of Pentacles: fear for the safety of one's property, money, concern for the current situation. Attempts to maintain the status quo.

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

The efforts made will be justified, and a decent payment for your work will come to you. You have confidence in yourself and your abilities, faith in tomorrow. Your status is stable, the quality of life is improving, 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, while maintaining the 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 it is devoid of unnecessary worries and anxieties, calculated moves will allow you to foresee almost everything. This predictability brings you peace and security, enjoyment of life and a strong state of affairs.

A person is accustomed to rely only on himself and use only his own resources. Calmness, seriousness, responsibility, confidence are the strengths of a person. He is good at settling problems and can lead others, but is unable to resolve a situation that was not planned or different from the standard position.

Interpretation of the inverted position

Keys: self-confident person, selfish, greed. Anxious states, limited by the framework of one's thinking, expectations of something, obstacles in the way, confrontation. Stinginess, both monetary and emotional. Limitation. closed position. Fixation on personal interests and results. Obsession with money. Losses in the financial sector, unstable state of affairs. Decreased income and earning opportunities. Indecisive person, lost control over the situation. Dissatisfaction with one's position, difficulties in business.

Problems in the financial sector, difficulties with property, a distorted attitude towards money. The Four of Pentacles reveals the following issues of human character:

The constant race for profit, money, profit.
Greed, snobbery
Fear of losing property and money.
Stinginess or overspending.

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

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

Tip: 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

Direct position. A person is satisfied with his position, and he is not ready to wear any adjustments, so there may be isolation or unwillingness 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. Own integrity and satisfaction of their needs - this is the first and main task of a person.

Reversed position. Cooling feelings in a couple. Fear of responsibility. Jealousy, sense of ownership. Trying to hold on to something, but not willing to compromise and let the relationship develop.

Conflicts are possible on the basis of money, disorganization of home comfort. There are too many inconsistencies and secrets in a relationship.

Four of Pentacles in action

Professions: cashier, treasurer, storekeeper, accountant, supply department worker.

Direct position. The person has achieved a prosperous position, both in the field of work and financially. Everything that has been achieved has been acquired as a result of painstaking and diligent work. A stable financial position, do not worry about the decline in profits or the deterioration of business. In work, things go on as usual, everything is planned and thought out.

Reversed position. Deprivation of a comfortable position. Shaky financially, instability, many questions are in doubt. Inattention, stressful situation.

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

Direct position. It is necessary to use our resources rationally, set rigid frameworks and plans, and adhere to these guidelines. Only targeted spending is needed, the rest can be deferred. The card makes it clear that the situation is stable, the situation is stable and there is no need to worry about trifles.

In the construction of something new, whether it be a house, a relationship, a job, you invest maximum effort, while calculating your steps several moves ahead. Completion of the started business, completion and summarizing the intermediate result.

The energy received should be directed in the right direction, and not spent on meaningless ideas and plans that cannot be implemented, at least for now.

The key phrase of the Four of Pentacles: Better a titmouse in the hands than a crane in the sky. Take care of your savings.

Advice. It is necessary to put everything in its place and lay it out on the shelves. Your soul and your property need your protection from outside encroachment and interference in your way of life. Learn from the mistakes of others, learn from what is happening.

Reversed position. The situation is unstable. Your position can be shaken at any moment. All problems come from your inability to handle money. Excessive spending, senseless investments, stinginess - that's what you should think about. Your desire for control prevents you from creating a plan of action, so you lose sight of not only small problems, but also difficult moments.

Tip: when making decisions, remove emotions, control yourself first of all. Learn to compromise and give in when you see that the win is not yours.

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

What are you currently in control of? How can you be sure 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? What are your losses? Experience from past situations.
What or who is trying to deprive you of what you have acquired?
When can you tell yourself that you have enough of everything, that it makes sense to stop?
What is security for you?

Four of Pentacles Ideas:

The desire to control everything from the surrounding space to the smallest events.
Always adequately and soberly assess the situation.
All resources are used rationally.
Responsibility is recognized.
Following the created plan.

Card advice in divination by one card. It's not worth the risk today, it's unjustified. Do not forget about caution and discretion, in pursuit of the result, you can miss the details. Something may not go according to plan, so be prepared to act according to the circumstances and adapt to the situation, or turn the situation in your favor. Don't stop at one question. Be careful in communicating with others, do not blindly believe in what you are told.

Waite gives a very sparse description of the 4 of Pentacles, describing only the location of the pentacles and pointing out that since the pentacles are in one way or another in contact with the figure of the character of the card, he allegedly holds them. If you follow this logic, then the character really controls three of the four pentacles. How firmly the pentacle is fixed on his crown is not obvious.

Pay attention to 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 makes the city look much more like a modern metropolis studded with skyscrapers. The city is not surrounded by an obvious fortress wall, which is generally not typical for the Middle Ages.
The boots on the character's feet are not laced. That is, if he suddenly decides to jump up and run, there is a chance to lose his boot or even fall. Interestingly, the character sits on a stone plinth so large that he barely touches the ground with his toes.

Basic meaning

In its meaning, the Tarot card 4 (Four) of Pentacles (Denari, Coins) is close to the King of Pentacles and through him 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 arranged out of necessity, not on a whim. Buying grain is more important than the king's new clothes. However, this unemotional style of government is not approved by everyone. Lovers of tinsel and fireworks are dissatisfied with the small amount of resources thrown into the wind.

The map speaks of the need for rational planning, strict control over the progress of the process and targeted spending of funds. The card describes a stable stable financial situation, prosperous at the moment.

Meaning in relationships

The meaning of the Tarot card 4 (Four) of Pentacles speaks of a situation in which a person who is passionate about his work is not too interested in relationships and love. Moreover, he perceives them as a burden and an annoying hindrance. In his opinion, emotional factors negatively affect the rationality 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 servility, 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 incredulity in this card is much more common than the thirst for flattery.

Open - closed card

A very closed card. The character prefers to keep as much distance as possible between himself and others. The smaller this distance, the greater the likelihood of conflict between the social and the personal.

There is a paradox in the Four of Pentacles: the interests of the individual are ignored in favor of the interests of the majority, which are determined by the leader alone.

Relationship Intensity

The character would prefer a relationship with a negative intensity. He is not at all interested in the relationship itself. Much more he cares about expediency and efficiency. Sympathy, devotion, loyalty mean nothing.

Expediency raised to the absolute. Expediency, which practically merges with cruelty and inhumanity.

The ideal character of the card is endowed with colossal wisdom, and the power that he possesses is perceived as a heavy cross. Unfortunately, in real life we often encounter tyranny and unworthy behavior of rulers.

Relationship scenario: love, family, relatives, work

The main scenario is the patriarch and his family. Members of the family, clan, clan, company employees, citizens of the state often tend to overestimate the patriarch, attribute infallibility to him, turn him into a deity. Few people are able to maintain an adequate perception of the world with such an attitude towards themselves and really not believe in their “divinity”.

On the other hand, it can be a loner, a master, an expert of the highest level, living according to his own laws and his own rules. He interacts with society only when he himself considers it necessary, and is not at all interested in the opinions of others about himself.

4 of Pentacles Tarot in combination with a card: A stable, stable situation that does not carry any unexpected, unpleasant changes

Psychological condition

A calm, adequate person who knows what he is doing, why and for what. The situation is under his control. For him, there is nothing secret, incomprehensible and inexplicable in the process. Confident master of his craft.

A restrained, slightly tired person is endowed with power over others and bears its burden with dignity.

One of the problems is the desire to control everything and everyone. There is a danger of digging into trifles, of losing the ability to see prospects, of strangling the initiatives of those below with petty tutelage.

Combined with the suit of Wands

combined with : Prepare a new expedition without haste. There are no trifles in preparing for a trip
Paired with: Think slow, act fast
combined with: Physical overwork has reached dangerous limits. You should rest.

Significance in matters of health

On the one hand, the meaning of the 4 (Four) of Tarot Pentacles 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. And it can be both emotions and literally constipation. Also, the card can talk about psychological stresses 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 it.

with card: You only think that you are in control. In fact, the situation looks different
with card : Perfect harmony between work and family
with card : It's time to have a party

Business and finance, professional activities

The financial position of the 4 of Pentacles does not cause any concern. This is a situation where money starts to go to money. The hard work on the formation of financial flows has been completed, and thin financial streams have merged into a full-flowing river. Now the problem is not “where to get?”, 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 rebuild from a state of peace to a state of war.

Stability, manageability, controllability

The 4 (Four) of Pentacles is a stable, controlled, manageable card in the meaning of work and money. Business is like a closed cycle, everything is debugged and works by itself. Moreover, the financial flow is organized in such a way that income can be received anywhere in the universe (live in the Bahamas and manage by phone, why not?)

Ways to Increase Income (The Key to Increasing Income)

The effect of the gold mine in the game "World of Might and Magic". Incomes start to grow on their own. Money is attracted to money.

There is no longer a need to count pennies and exchange for trifles. If you buy, then factories, if you invest, then in corporations. War feeds war, business feeds business. Many streams flow to you.

General state of finances and trends

A wonderful financial position, well-being as the realization of the most daring ideas about it. Despite the subjective difference in the understanding of ideal wealth, everyone has a common problem - where else to spend money? Not like chickens, peacocks do not peck money!

In the long term, the trend towards consistently good condition and increasing income continues. True, with a caveat: in a stable world.

Weak adaptability to changes is the scourge of all pentacle cards.

But even under a negative scenario, the loss of 2/3 of the business may not lead to a crisis. In general, the situation is very stable, with a large margin of safety.

Positive and negative impact on income

For the vast majority, the thought of where to put a million is much more pleasant than where to get it. But there are those who are not entirely satisfied with this state of affairs in business. There is no self-development, no incentive to move on.

The enterprise no longer lives for the sake of profit, but for the sake of existence itself. The problem of maintaining an external image comes to the fore: mansions used as offices, originals of the Dutch in the reception room, charity balls in London. Inside the organization - excessive control and a lot of meaningless instructions.

Characters

The character of the 4 of Pentacles is a calm, serious, self-confident person. He is used to relying only on himself and knows how to cope with problems. Being strong, he does not take into account the weaknesses of other people, which can play a trick on him. He does a good job of leading a smooth process, but has difficulty when faced with an unusual situation.

with card : Learn the art of driving

When making a decision, exclude emotions
