Combination of card Four of Pentacles and card The Devil
The Devil paired with the Four of Pentacles screams golden handcuffs – you've got the money, but you're paying for it with your soul. Picture the workaholic who's been "too busy" for vacations for three years running, missing birthdays and anniversaries while their savings account gets fatter and their relationships get thinner. They've got financial security locked down, but they're starving everything else that actually matters.

When the Devil meets a reversed Four of Pentacles, we're looking at someone white-knuckling their way through life, terrified of change. They're stuck in that soul-crushing job or toxic relationship because the devil they know feels safer than the unknown waiting outside. It's the classic "miserable but comfortable" trap – staying put because starting over feels scarier than slowly dying inside.

The reversed Devil with an upright Four of Pentacles is like standing at the edge of the diving board – you can see the water, you know you need to jump, but your feet are still glued to the platform. You've figured out that chasing status symbols is hollow, but walking away from that steady paycheck to follow your dreams? That's a whole different level of scary.

They traded the prestigious prison for messy, beautiful, terrifying freedom.
