The Four of Pentacles symbolizes financial success, but that success may turn you greedy.
Upright, the Four of Pentacles can symbolize one of two things. First, it may be telling you that you have accomplished your goals that you set out to do, and even gained financial success along the way. However, you may now only view things in terms of what kind of monetary gain you can get out of them. This can take a bad turn, as you may begin to view people and other priceless things with this perspective. This could turn you into a possessive, greedy, and materialistic type of person.
Reversed, the Four of Pentacles symbolizes greed, possessiveness, and materialism. You've become stingy and greedy. Your love for money has turned you against the human side of yourself - you fear poverty, the homeless, and anything that may take away your hard earned wealth. You may not even be trusting people, for fear they will take away what you have worked for.
The Four of Pentacles is telling you that you have gained financial success, but to be careful! You don't want to become overly greedy or possessive.
