Four of Pentacles

Four of Pentacles Tarot Card Meanings

Four of Pentacles shows a ruler who is very attached to his Pentacles, wearing them on his feet and head and holding one in his hands. This man is unlikely to let go of his money and possessions, which he has worked hard to attain and he is proud of what he has attained.

This is the card of the King of Midas, who hoarded his money, gold and possessions, who didn't want to share it with anyone.

This card represents the need to consider the other areas of life equally with the need to feel financially stable.

General Meaning

The Four of Pentacles advises you to be aware when you are being driven by materialism, greed or avarice.
