Four of Pentacles
Holding on with a Vice Grip
Four of Pentacles meaning
There are things you won’t let go of, a situation, resources or materials. The vice grip you have is stinting the flow of energy into other parts of your life. Perhaps your greed has caused you to become lonely. A toxic relationship could be seeping into other realms of your life. The mentality you have towards this thing are not only blocking new opportunities from coming but preventing new opportunities in other parts of your life as well.
Obsession with stability maybe causing you to sacrifice a lot more than your time. Loved ones could be caught in the cross fire and hurt in the process. They just want some of your time, which does not seem like a lot to ask for from the people who have proven their loyalty. Attachments and selfishness are blinding you to the needs of those around you. Let your grip loose just enough to regain blood flow to your extremities and enjoy the life you are fighting too hard to perfect.
This could be a situation that is so important to your stability, you are willing to sacrifice your happiness to it. A person or job provides you great stress and stability at the cost of your will to live. Question your relationship to it, take some time away from it. If the stress can’t be lessened by distance, then you need to reclaim yourself.
Since you struggled as long as you did, you find yourself putting more importance on money and material than you used to. There maybe an unintentional level of greed involved as you hold on too tightly to things, remembering the times that you had nothing.
Of course where there is money that means there is success! All that hard work and collaboration you put in is finally coming through. The feeling of being grounded and stable is undervalued.
Yet, there is a level of greed strung from the desperation to keep your feet on the solid ground. Everything you’ve created, you are possessive of. Every trinket and simple thing that you struggled so hard to earn means more than it should. Even the title you earned you are deeply attached to, only giving the minimum credit to the peers who helped you.
Remember why you’re here, and what you’re original ideal was in this endeavor. With all the shiny things before your eyes it’s sometime hard to remember why you started it. Do not sacrifice anything for the sake of your own possessive gain. Stay the course and you’ll keep your rewards.
