Link: Little Spark Of Joy
If you have ever heard the story of King Midas, then you know the dangers of allowing one’s desire for the material world to take over. The Four of Pentacles brings a similar message, one that highlights the dark issues we as humans have with materialism and control.
The Four of Pentacles in the Tarot deck signifies a drive for control and an overemphasis on material possessions. While hinting at the need for financial security, it warns against obsessive materialism, greedy tendencies, and resistance to change.
Although this card can sometimes signify the need for financial security, it often accompanies a sense of ungratefulness and a need to possess much more than needed.
