Four of Pentacles
Four of Pentacles — Minor Arcana, from The 1909 London Deck.
Upright
holding on, security, caution with money
Keeping tight hold of what you have. Prudent up to a point, and past that point it stops anything new arriving.
In a yes or no reading, Four of Pentacles upright answers maybe — the situation has not settled.
Reversed
loosening the grip, letting go, insecurity
Either the hold is relaxing, which is good, or the fear underneath it is running things.
In a yes or no reading, Four of Pentacles reversed answers maybe — the situation has not settled.
What this card does in a reading here
A reading draws one card and answers the question you asked with it. Four of Pentacles can come up either way up — reversals are on in this deck, because the 1909 original was drawn with them in mind — and the two readings above are the starting point, not the answer. The answer depends on what you asked.
