Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, the Four of Pentacles warns of miserliness. You may be clinging too tightly to material goods and earthly power to appreciate the value of human relationships. Your fear of loss may prompt excessive materialism and a cloistered existence hindering you from making important changes that are overdue. Some of your plans to increase your wealth may run into obstacles, opposition, or delays. The myth of King Midas illustrates the types of setbacks excessive greed can entail.

Reversed Cards: I am sure you have heard the saying ‘living within your means.’ Most people believe this involves some sort of lack or sacrifice, but in truth it can be a liberating experience.

You are in no way bound by limit or restriction. By living within your means, you allow yourself to tap into the miracle of each moment and lose focus on what you feel you lack.
