Four of Pentacles
The Four of Coins symbolizes greed, possessiveness, and an unwillingness to open up or share. In the Aymara folk tale image, Condor covets his wife, who dislikes his lifestyle and living with him; though he recognizes her unhappiness, he refuses to change or set her free. Upright, the card warns of hoarding, materialism, stinginess, and clinging to financial stability at the expense of relationships. Reversed, it can indicate recklessness or gambling, the possibility of letting go and generosity, or the impulse toward large purchases. It invites reflection on where attachment and fear of loss block compassion and healthy release.

Visual Description
A dark-feathered condor or vulture spreads its large wings behind a seated woman who is wrapped in a colorful woven shawl and red cloak. Four large golden coins, each marked with a pentacle-like star, surround her, one near her knees and others at her back and feet. She hugs a green bundle to her chest and looks forward with a calm, guarded expression while tall red tubular flowers frame the sides. The sky behind is warm peach with a small bird silhouette near the top.
