The General Meaning and Interpretation of the Upright Four of Pentacles Tarot Card:
The Four of Pentacles Tarot Card can indicate that you have a tendency to hold on to past events, people, or possessions. This can suggest that deeper-seated issues are affecting your life that you need to deal with and let go of. The Minor Arcana card may indicate that you are trying to hold onto possessions or people for security. It could be that you are clinging to things in a controlling, unhealthy, or toxic manner or that someone is holding onto you in this way. This can be a sign that you need to set boundaries and respect the boundaries of others. The Four of Pentacles could also signify a lack of openness, blocking progress, keeping to oneself, or isolation. It can also represent greed, materialism, wealth, and penny-pinching.
Love and Relationships (Upright):
The Four of Pentacles is not a good card to use in a love Tarot reading. It can suggest that you or your partner are controlling, possessive, or jealous, which could have a negative impact on your relationship. You should not hold onto your relationship so tightly that it becomes a drain on its life. This could also indicate that one of you holds onto past wrongs, a grudge, or that there are deep-seated problems in your relationship. You must decide if your partner has wronged or forgiven you and move on with your life. Grudges can be toxic and lead to resentment. The Four of Pentacles may indicate that you might be preventing yourself from meeting someone new if you are single. It could be that you are afraid of change or you aren't open to new relationships. Alternatively, it could be that you still have feelings for your ex and aren't ready to move forward. These issues, whatever the reason, must be resolved before you can truly embrace a new relationship.
Money & Career (Upright):
The Four of Pentacles is a sign that you are in a stable career position. Fear of losing your job should not be your guiding light. You can still be cautious about your career and not become paranoid or isolated. This could be a sign that you are afraid to share your ideas with others in a job setting. While this may be true in some cases, it is not a good idea. This could also be a sign that you're holding onto a job you don't like because you worry about losing your financial security. Alternatively, the Four of Pentacles could be a sign that someone is withholding something, such as a pay rise or promotion. It can be a sign that you are working hard and building your business. The Four of Pentacles is a symbol of financial stability and financial security in a financial Tarot spread. This also means that you want to preserve your wealth. It could be saving money for big purchases such as a house or a car, or even putting money aside for retirement. It can also be a sign of materialism, greediness, or penny-pinching.
Health (Upright):
The Four of Pentacles in a health Tarot spread can indicate that you might be holding onto negative energy from past experiences or issues that could be having an adverse effect on your health. To help release these energies, it might be worth trying Reiki or other forms of energy healing. Talking to a friend, professional counselor, or therapist can help you release emotional and psychological baggage. This card is also a card of retaining water, so it could indicate constipation.
Spirituality (Upright):
The Four of Pentacles can be used to indicate that you are holding on to the past and resisting moving forward in a spiritual context. Fear, regret, or negativity could be holding you back. You may also be closing your eyes to others or too focused on materialism. It is important to take the time to discover what you hold onto and why. This can be done by meditating or doing energy work.
Interpretation and General Meaning (Reversed):
The Four of Pentacles reversed in a Tarot reading can indicate that you are ready to let go of people, possessions, and situations. You may be dealing with toxic individuals or situations, or you could be trying to release old regrets or fears. While you may feel generous and give away your wealth or possessions to others, be careful not to let others take advantage of your kindness. This Minor Arcana card could also signify that you have lost or let go of something valuable due to theft or gambling. It may also be a sign that you are behaving recklessly or feeling out of control. However, the Four of Pentacles reversed could also suggest that you have stopped trying to control people or situations and are now more open-minded and relaxed.

Reversed: Love and Relationships:
In a love Tarot spread, the Four of Pentacles reversed can be a positive sign, indicating that you are moving forward in your relationship by releasing resentment and fear. If you are in a toxic relationship, this card suggests that it may be time to let go, which will ultimately be a positive decision for you. If you are single, the Four of Pentacles reversed may indicate that you are ready to free yourself from fear and open yourself up to meeting new people. It may also suggest that you are ready for a change if you have been struggling to let go of your feelings for an ex.
Money & Career (Reversed):
If the Four of Pentacles appears reversed in your career spread, it can suggest that you are generous to others in your workplace by giving them your time, help, brainstorming, and sharing ideas or credit for their success. However, there are many negative associations with this card when it appears reversed in a job setting, so it is important to consider the supporting cards for confirmation. The Four of Pentacles reversed can indicate job loss, business failure, or bankruptcy. It may also suggest that you are missing out on valuable opportunities by engaging in risky behavior. This card cautions you to work hard and be determined to succeed, as taking shortcuts or engaging in unethical practices can backfire. It may also indicate theft of ideas, clients, or business, so it is important to be cautious about whom you trust with your client lists or trade secrets. In a financial Tarot spread, the Four of Pentacles reversed suggests that you are not holding onto your wealth, possibly due to financial loss from theft, carelessness, or reckless behavior such as gambling or get-rich-quick schemes. This card can be a sign of financial instability and insecurity.
Reversed Health:
In a Tarot reading, the Four of Pentacles reversed suggests that you are ready or able to release any negative energy you may be holding onto, allowing you to move forward in a healthy, positive way. This could involve seeking the help of someone you trust if you are suffering from anxiety, or forgiving someone who has wronged or hurt you in the past and releasing any anger you may be holding onto. Whatever your situation, you will likely notice a significant improvement in your health and overall well-being.
Spirituality (Reversed):
The Four of Pentacles reversed in a spiritual context suggests that you are ready to embark on your spiritual journey and make great progress if you let go of any fear, regret, or negativity that may be holding you back. This is a wonderful time to be open-minded and generous, but also to conserve your energy and stay grounded.
