The Suit of Pentacles Tarot Cards Explained

Pentacles, also referred to as Coins, typically represent material possessions and wealth, although the concept of wealth is more broadly defined than solely the size of one’s bank account.

While definitely tied to the physical world, Pentacles can in fact signify prosperity on many levels, such as important personal relationships, spiritual contentment, and the state of one’s emotional health.

Should a tarot reading be predominantly comprised of Pentacles cards, it can be taken as an indication that one is seeking answers to material conflicts that are very much rooted in the here and now. These concerns typically revolve around financial and career issues and can be resolved quickly, as soon as they are addressed.

Similarly, a reading rich in Pentacle tarot cards can be a telling sign that one is insecure about certain specific financial matters, be that job security, outstanding debts, or uncertainty surrounding a particular investment.
