Upright meaning
Four coins gripped tightly — one under each foot, one in the arms, one on the head. Security achieved and then defended past the point of reason. Stability that has become inability to spend, share or change.
Four of Pentacles reversed
Opening the hands. Generosity returning, or a grip loosened by force.
In love
Emotional withholding, or possessiveness dressed as commitment.
In career and money
Sound financial caution, or hoarding resources that should be deployed.
