Four of Pentacles
Upright
Saving money, security, conservatism, scarcity, control
The Four of Pentacles invites you to examine your connection with money. Are you saving money wisely while still enjoying your daily life? Or are you hopelessly sticking to every coin, scared to spend your money for fear that you do no could lose it forever?
In its most positive outlook, the Four of Pentacles implies that you have created abundance by maintaining a constant focus on your aims and working conservatively. You are mindful of your financial security, saving money and following your payments.
However, the Four of Pentacles typically characterize an insufficiency mindset, particularly with material properties. You are choosing to stock your investments, for worry you might miss it all. Money works best when it can transfer and exchange, not when it is being stockpiled. Try to find a healthy equilibrium between spending and saving, so you can experience the outcomes of your work but also save up.
The Four of Pentacles can also imply that you are putting too much value on material dependencies. You may be connected to physical things, allowing properties to become an important part of your life.
Beyond money and abundance, the Four of Pentacles appears when you are searching for more power in your life. You may be overly defensive so no one else threatens your relationship. On a private level, you may have a rigid approach and oppose change. Any idea of doing things creatively is, therefore, going to be met with opposition. So, staying in a comfort zone may be the way to go rather than taking any dangers at this point.
Reversed
Over-spending, greed, self-protection
The reversed Four of Pentacles can show up when you are estimating what’s essential to you, particularly when it comes to money and property. You may have placed too much importance on physical possessions and have now come to the understanding that they won’t make you fortunate. As a result, you may be releasing your hold on the need to surround yourself with ‘stuff’, and will be searching out more love and joy in your life.
The reversed Four of Pentacles can symbolize that money is slipping out of your hands and your spending amounts pass your saving habits.
Sometimes, the reversed Four of Pentacles can imply that you developed a greedy approach to money. You want more and more continuously. Look at the overall comparison of the cost versus profit, and evaluate whether your search for ‘more’ is actually bringing you the peace that you most crave.
Finally, the Four of Pentacles can appear in a Tarot reading when you are in a very protective mood. You seek safety, endurance and you are doing everything within your authority to create a solid environment for yourself.
King of Pentacles
Upright
Wealth, business, leadership, security, discipline, abundance

Reversed
Financially inept, obsessed with wealth and status, stubborn
The reversed King of Pentacles urges you to check your association with physical abundance and money. You may draw large amounts of money however you may not be handling your wealth properly. You need to improve your control so you can preserve it for your future while still appreciating the results of your hard work.
Or maybe you are placing money before everything else, badly affecting your connections and happiness. If this resonates, observe the greater influence of your passion with money. Is it helping you and supporting your essential priorities in life, or do you need to shift your approach?
In some instances, the reversed King of Pentacles pictures someone who is very determined and firm. Has life become so foreseen and regular that you are feeling somehow stuck in it? Being settled is great, however, you should let yourself be spontaneous and do something unusual sometimes. You should not be so serious and solid all of the time.
Five of Wands
Upright
Conflict, disagreements, competition, tension, diversity
In the Tarot, the number Five describe conflict and struggle. The Five of Wands card shows that you are in the middle of conflict, stress, and opposition with others and it is affecting your energy to move forward with your purposes. Rather than being able to operate towards a goal, you are running up against constant struggle.
With the Five of Wands, everyone is fighting to be heard and no one is listening. When everybody has a different view, but no-one hears each other out, confusions will run uncontrolled. If you are in this situation, see it as a chance to rise up from the chaos. Listen to what other people are saying – even if you accept or not. The key is to harmonize with other people. After that, they may soften their judgments and also give you respect and listen to your viewpoint.
Sometimes, this type of conflict can be very fruitful, such as brainstorming and problem-solving. You may profit from building a committee or expert group with other people who bring alternating perspectives.
You may deal with people from different cultures and try to accept their way of living. Remember that each soul has something unique to bring to the table and that you will help by learning more about them and what they have to contribute.
The Five of Wands encourages an enthusiastic suggestion to change. Transition is coming whether or not you want it; your challenge will be in assuring that everyone is on the same page and dealing with this transformation constructively. However, currently, your group’s energy is scattered by misdirected energy. Everybody has ideas, but no one is there to bring them into a coherent path ahead.
Reversed
Inner conflict, conflict avoidance, tension release
The Five of Wands reversed suggests that you are handling inner conflict. You may try to work through your point of view on controversial topics or you may think about personal problems such as whether to leave or not a relationship or job. This process is helpful and will help you come to a well-thought-out perspective. There is no right answer, and someone will oppose the path you want, so find the option that suits best with you.
The Five of Wands reversed can imply that you have the tendency to withdraw conflict wherever possible. You may see that any tension makes you feel uncomfortable, and you wish it would just go away. So, you use a lot of that energy and neglect the problem. However, some conflict can be helpful, particularly if it is constructive and draws out the underlying problems for a solution.
