Complete Book of Tarot: When upright, the Four of Pentacles suggests that your focus now is on maintaining wealth and improving material security. To hold on to what you possess, sound financial planning and money management are called for. If you have a long-term goal that requires monetary backing, a careful plan of savings will help you achieve your dream. This card may also mark a period of gain in power, money, or influence. Business dealings go well, and a financial gift or inheritance is possible. Although tempted to cling tightly to what you have, you are also able to enjoy your material well-being and act with generosity.

Reversed Cards: When the Four of Pentacles shows up in the blocked aspect, it might be safe to say that you are allowing your paranoia to get the better of you. There is a miserly element to this card even in its upright position, but here in the blocked aspect you have allowed your fear to become ruler of your domain. Nothing good can come of that. There is no doubt that being prudent at times shows wisdom. But living such a short life as a miser will only bring you misery and heartache. Blocking the flow of your resources will stagnate and poison you mentally, spiritually, and physically.

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. When you live within their means, you start to notice resources you never knew you had. Here in the protection aspect, the Four of Pentacles is showing you how abundant you truly are. 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.
