Upright meaning
The Four of Pentacles holds on tight. It can mean healthy saving and financial security, or a fear of loss that makes you grip too hard. The card asks whether you are protecting what you have or being held by it.
Reversed meaning
Reversed, the grip loosens, sometimes too far. It can point to generosity and letting go, or to careless spending. It may also warn of greed.
