Four of Pentacles

Holding on tightly.

The image

A crowned man sits before a city, clutching a pentacle to his chest, with one balanced on his crown and two pinned under his feet.

Keywords: security, control, holding on

Light side

Protecting what you have built is healthy. Saving, setting limits and caring for your resources give you a stable base.

Shadow side

Holding on too tightly makes you rigid and closed. Fear of losing can stop anything new from coming in or going out.

Drawing Four of Pentacles in a game of Leela

In Leela Atlas you can draw a card from the Classic Tarot when you land on a square. A bridging question links the card to the square, so the card speaks to your own question:

• What are you holding tightly here, and what would happen if you loosened your grip a little?
• What does "Four of Pentacles" show you about your square?
• If "Four of Pentacles" were advice for your question, what would it say?
• Where do you meet "Four of Pentacles" in your life right now?
