Short description cards
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.

The main meaning of the card 4 of Pentacles
In its meaning, this card 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.
Four of Pentacles in relationships
The card speaks of a situation in which a person who is passionate about his work is not too interested in a relationship. 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.
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.

Wheel of Fortune: a stable, stable situation that does not carry any unexpected, unpleasant changes.
4 of Pentacles combined with a card Hanged: reasonable savings will help you get through difficult times.
4 of Pentacles combined with a card Moderation: Special attention should be paid to the balance of fluids in the body or process.
Four of Pentacles in health matters

On the one hand, the card 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 emotions, and literally constipation. Also, the card can talk about psychological stresses so familiar that a person stops noticing them. Sometimes the map indicates a lack of movement and physical activity. But at the moment the person does not suffer from it.

4 of Pentacles combined with a card 3 Staves: prepare a new expedition without haste. There are no trifles in preparing for a trip.
4 of Pentacles combined with a card 7 Staves: think slowly, act quickly.
4 of Pentacles combined with a card 10 Staves: physical overwork has reached dangerous limits. You should rest.
Financial Position of the Four of Pentacles

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.

4 of Pentacles combined with a card 7 Cups: You just think you're in control. In fact, the situation looks different.

Questions to ask when drawing this card?

What situation are you in control of? Why are you so sure of this?

What resources do you have? How do you use them?

In what area did you become proficient?

What needs to be done to make the situation stable?

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 sense of the ground under one's feet, but...also the 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 meanings 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). Modern man it is difficult to directly identify with this way oneself, therefore the appearance of this card in the layout was more often perceived negatively - something like a collision with a miser who would 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 a 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 Four of Pentacles man definitely has a personality, albeit a rather unpleasant one, and he 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 situation. 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 the most different forms(“normal heroes always go around” with the Seven of Swords, “what a terrible life” with the Moon, and so on). It characterizes a person who is firmly on his feet, but at the same time conservative to the point of shyness: he is afraid to take the slightest step to the side, so as not to bring something new into his 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 may say that he clings to his laurels or to his usual manner of working, it is difficult for him to trust the flow and he blocks his own Creative skills within the beaten track. 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 is 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. Actually high 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, allowing to reveal those potential possibilities of the individual, on the implementation 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.

By this the map is coming not so much "resting on our 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 an extortionate 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 values in the area of personal life, and almost all of them are rather 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 love for 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 The Four of Pentacles manifests itself in the fact that this is a card ... of intimate stinginess, "not giving", refusing to a partner in essential 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 map 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 concerns, 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."

In the deck minor arcana The Four of Pentacles is the ruler of stability. The card depicts a man clutching a gold coin to his chest. Two more are under his feet, and one is worn in a crown on his head. With all his appearance, he shows that he does not intend to share what he owns.

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.
