What Four of Pentacles reversed means
Reversed, the coins loosen. The card shows letting go, generosity, spending or sharing after a period of holding, the release of control, and the discovery that opening the hands does not lose everything. It can also mark the opposite swing, money or security slipping away through carelessness, or a miser who finally loses what he guarded. Mostly it means the grip is easing. Let the blood back into your fingers.
In love, reversed
Loosening the grip: letting a partner have room, risking generosity, trusting instead of guarding. What you held so tightly is still there when you open your hand.

Money, reversed

As feelings, reversed
Either a grip that is loosening or one that has tightened too far. They may be learning to trust you enough to relax, which can feel like warmth arriving at last. In its harder form it is possessiveness, jealousy or a need to control what cannot be held.
As a person, reversed
Stingy with money, time or feeling, or clinging hard to control. This character may hoard, keep score, or treat people as possessions to be guarded. Sometimes the reverse shows instead: a sudden swing into spending or giving to prove they are not tight-fisted.
As advice, reversed
Open one hand. Give, spend or share something, and find out that the sky does not fall. The advice is to make the letting go gradual and chosen rather than sudden and forced.
