Four of Pentacles




     The Four of Pentacles is one of the cards of the Minor Arcana. Depicted on this card is a person of wealth with a pentacle on his crown, one clasped firmly in his hands, and two more placed securely under his feet. This card I often call the miser card. This is a card indicative of a person whom is cautious of his possessions. He/she has worked hard to achieve the goals set and is unwilling to let them go easily. This card can be taken two ways. It can be taken as a card of selfishness, and insecurity, or a card of wisdom and frugality when it comes to spending habits. It also may indicate gifts, inheritance or legacies.

     There is a myriad of symbolisms on this and many of the other cards in both the major and minor arcana. In order to present a comprehensive and easy to use as a reference source set of pages for this and other cards, I will refrain from going into great detail regarding the individual symbols on the cards. On a future date I will go over the more explicit aspects of them. If you have a question regarding a particular symbol you can email me at Tamerin.
