Upright
He holds his coins tight against his body, one on his head and two under his feet. The Four of Pentacles is about the need for security and control. In your question, it may be wise to protect what you have built. But ask yourself, too, whether you are holding so tightly that nothing new can come in.
Reversed
Your grip is loosening, for better or worse. Perhaps you are starting to dare to share and let go of control, or the fear of losing has made you stingy toward both yourself and others. The Four of Pentacles reversed asks what you are really trying to protect. Is it the thing itself, or the feeling of safety?
