Waite–Smith, Pentacles
Four of Pentacles
What you can see
A seated figure clasps a pentacle to the chest, with another above the crown and one beneath each foot. A town stands behind.
What Waite says
Waite reads holding securely to possessions, including gifts or inheritance. The image presents a grip on what is already present, without establishing whether that grip is prudent or excessive in a particular life.
