This person may be cutting themselves off from the world at large.


The reversed IV of Pentacles tells of a need to establish new plans so that you are prepared when upsets and/or delays take place. Opposition may delay future plans. It would be advisable to have an alternative plan or option ready just in case.


Money spent unwisely is implied by the reversed Four of Pentacles. It may also imply irresponsible decision-making, false economy, greed and the squandering of resources. You are to keep a check on this to your own financial stability and security.
