Card 67 • pentacles

Four of Pentacles

Brief Description

The Four of Pentacles represents a proud ruler who has built his wealth and city to feed his pride, finding pleasure only in material attributes. Money serves as his foundation and primary motivation, with every endeavor calculated for profit. However, his pursuit of gold has cost him part of his humanity, as materialism has closed off the part of his heart meant to care for others' suffering. Without compassion, nothing will ever truly satisfy him.

The Materialistic Ruler

A haughty ruler sits majestically before the city he built to satisfy his pride. He derives pleasure only from the attributes of wealth. Money is his foundation and main motivation. Everything he undertakes is done with an eye toward ultimate profit.

The Cost of Greed

But he has sacrificed part of his humanity in the pursuit of gold. Materialism has closed off the place in his heart that should care for the suffering of others. Without this, nothing will ever truly satisfy him.

Keywords

attachment to material goods, greed, fear of loss, miserliness.

Visual Description

A heavyset man sits on a stone bench in front of a walled town, wearing a fur-trimmed cloak and a crown topped with a pentacle. He clutches a pentacle tightly to his chest, another rests beneath his feet and one is placed on the ground by his boots. The scene is framed with floral borders and architectural towers rise behind him under a pale sky.
