Four of Coins from the Rider–Waite tarot deck

Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play tarot card games.^[1] In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes.^[1]^[2]

Divination usage edit

A spread containing the Four of Pentacles refers to a lover of material wealth, one who hoards things of value with no prospect of sharing. In contrast, when the Four of Pentacles is in reverse it warns against the tendency of being a spendthrift. ^[3]

Astrological correspondence edit

The Four of Pentacles is associated with Sun in Capricorn.^[4]
