Introduction
If the Three was about pooling resources in pursuit of a shared goal, then the Four of Coins is about hoarding them. The card showcases a scarcity mindset.
Scarcity Mindset
One of the coins sits squarely atop the woman’s head, dominating all her thoughts, while the world grows dark outside. And that’s not always bad. Sometimes, demands are made upon our time, mental or emotional energy, or even actual material resources, to such a degree that we are left depleted and with no recourse but to retreat behind some thick walls, locking the doors and keeping to ourselves until we can face the world again.
Warning Against Greed
But Coins are cards of bounty. And with bounty comes a warning against greed. The Four calls upon us to evaluate, honestly and compassionately, not only our own needs but those of the people around us, to be aware of who needs our help and whether it is help we can provide. It cautions us against isolating ourselves from others and sitting upon our treasures, whether they be spiritual or material, like dragons on a hoard, rendering them useless.
Affecting Others and Ourselves
It is important to note that it isn't always others who are affected by our hoarding—sometimes we are too ungenerous with ourselves. Self-care shouldn't all be expensive shopping sprees and spa days, but that doesn't mean we can't treat ourselves with the same generosity of spirit that we afford other people in our lives. Quite simply put, you can't take it with you when you die.
