Four of Pentacles

Four of Pentacles signifies a time or experience of frugality.

Tarot Reading

The man in the picture looks distinguished from his clothes. He has one gold coin on his head, two gold coins under his feet, one gold coin in his arms, and perhaps many more gold coins in the box sitting under his buttocks. Judging from his expression, he is very nervous, and it is obvious that he is afraid of losing any of his property. On a material level, he is rich, but he also is lonely and far away from the people in the castle, so it can be seen that he is penniless on the spiritual level. The Four of Pentacles usually represent the sufficiency and stability of material life and the emptiness of the spiritual plane.

Conjecture

In the actual conjecture, the Four of Pentacles often stands for accusations, and for those who have a firm grasp on material assets and won’t let go (and also on the spiritual side). If they are lovers, they might be very jealous; and if they are bosses, they might be certainly petty people who exploit wages everywhere.
