Four of Pentacles
The Four of Coins points to material security achieved at the cost of joy and openness. A once-whimsical idea has become frozen and forgotten, and saving has become an end in itself rather than a means to something meaningful. Although finances are secure, a tight grip on resources restricts life’s flow and produces immobility and emptiness. This card urges examination of one’s rigid relationship with money and the values that drove saving; in reversal it suggests release, renewed clarity of values, and a return to generosity and connection.

Forgotten Joy
Description
A once-whimsical idea, envisioned perhaps for fun, stands frozen and forgotten. There is plenty of money, but the idea of money that inspired saving in the first place has lost its joy and grown stagnant. Because Fours and Coins both represent stability, you can be sure that your finances are secure. However, a light grip has restricted the flow of life, leaving you with a sense of immobility and emptiness. Your attention seems to shift to your rigid relationship with money.
Meaning
confusion regarding values, saving for the sake of saving, resistance to change, fear or paranoia, stagnation, a missed opportunity, loss of connection to others or to what really matters.
Reversal
emotional freedom, clarity of values, connection to others, balance, nonattachment, generosity.
Visual Description
A small, striped tent stands alone in a snow-covered clearing before a dark, dense forest. In front of the tent is a neat stack of four golden coins resting on the snow. The sky above is pale and empty, and the scene feels still and quiet, with soft edges and muted colors.
