Card Description.
An established business person, sitting on a castle wall, holding on to four pentacles. In the background a wealthy suburb is displayed.
Meaning: “possessions and holding on to them”
This card describes that which you own, inherited or worked for. It indicates holding on to it for dear life. You’ve earned that which you have, you have it by wright, either inherited or labored for. This card describes a typical miser. In today’s life we see them around us all the time. Notably this attitude may be most befitting especially in business. However this attitude also includes the person to be insecure, unwilling to even spend money on himself as he sees it as a waste. In other words he is prepared to relinquish his personal happiness to holding on to that which makes him a wealthy person. This card also describes an emotional black hole, as his money is so important that even his personal relationships suffer. Not only is he a miser with money, but also in his personal relationships. Unfortunately turning him into a sour old man with everybody else suffering the consequences.
Upright:
Miser, discord, distrust, wealth-inherited or worked for, shortsightedness and desperation.
If this describes the way you want to life, it might be better for you not to have all the riches you have. The people around you are suffering because of your point of view. At certain times this may well be a necessary way of life, but not all the time! Money can make or break you, if you are insecure regarding your investments, it would be a good thing to investigate them and ascertain your security or status. Maybe it’s possible to have that fulfilling relationship you desperately need. You are creating so much unhappiness for yourself and those you love, that you may lose the most important thing in your life, personal satisfaction and the feeling of really belonging. This card may also describe a situation where you are about to lose all you have accumulated, now would then be the time to act in the way a miser would, protect that which you have, fight a good battle but cover every avenue as far as possible. Don’t give way to desperation, maintain your calm.
Reversed:
Delays in gain, misfortune, financial loss, quarrels with loved ones, trouble and obstacles.
Let this be a warning to you, your investments are far from sound, in fact you stand a chance of losing a great deal of it. If you haven’t got substantial security you may be in a position where your fortunes are turned against you. You need to take heed and act with careful consideration of your family members, your income is at risk and that would lead to damage in your personal relationship. Expect trouble, misfortune and obstacles.
