Four of Pentacles

Brief Description

This card represents the tension between security and growth, highlighting the compromise between holding onto what we have and taking risks for greater rewards.

The Security of Holding On

When sitting and firmly holding onto 'what is yours,' you're unlikely to lose anything. Equally, soaring in the heavens on the wings of expectation represents another extreme. This is a compromise.

The Price of Safety

Sitting tensely in a closed space is safe. Nothing will be lost there. But at the same time, none of us will soar high on the wings of expectation. This requires change.

Visual Description

A young figure wearing aviator goggles sits on a high stone or stump, clutching a single pentacle to their chest. Two wooden posts or trees flank them, their branches twisted into dark vine-like curls, and two more pentacles are attached to the trunk on the right. The background shows striped green fields and a warm orange sky with a sun on the left and a crescent moon perched on a branch to the right. The figure wears a checkered sweater, knee socks and boots and appears small and inward-focused in the tall, narrow composition.
