Four of Pentacles
The Four of Pentacles shows an important man seated on a rooftop clutching a pentacle while three others surround him, symbolizing attachment to material possessions and worldly status. Its correspondences with Earth, Sun, Jupiter, and Capricorn emphasize themes of earthly power, stability, ambition, and control. Upright, the card warns against holding on too tightly, hoarding resources, blocking incoming goods, and becoming embroiled in power struggles. Reversed, it encourages releasing control, giving freely, trying new approaches to stagnant potential, and allowing energy to flow more freely.

Visual Description
A crowned man sits on a throne in a heavy red robe, clutching a large pentacle to his chest. Three more pentacles rest on stone pedestals around him — two to the sides and one at his feet — while a pale light and the Roman numeral IV hang above. A misty cityscape recedes into the background, and the figure's expression is guarded and steady. The scene feels contained, with strong vertical lines of pillars and the throne emphasizing solidity.
