The meaning of the Suit of Pentacles in Tarot
The Suit of Pentacles corresponds to the Earth element and the signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. Pentacles cards appear frequently in questions about career, finances, health, and practical everyday matters.
Many Pentacles in a reading signal a grounding phase — material building, or a need to attend to the body and the practical side of life. Reversed Pentacles warn of financial risk or neglect of earthly needs.
