Four of Pentacles

what you're guarding is safe. that doesn't mean it's growing.
upright — what she sees
what you're guarding is safe. that doesn't mean it's growing. drawn upright, four of pentacles speaks of security, holding tight, the four pents. she reads it as a turning toward the thing, not away from it — the four pents made plain.
reversed — what she withholds
the fingers are white. the coin is bruised. reversed, the card turns inward — clinging, greed, fear of loss. not a curse. a closed door you keep your own hand on.
in a spread
in the daily veil, four of pentacles is the day's temperature — upright it asks you to lean in, reversed it asks what you're bracing against. in a three-card line it colours past, present, or the thing approaching. draw it yourself and she'll read it for you, in your own words.
