Tarot Suits: The Pentacles Cards

Manifestation, momentum, material magic -- welcome to the suit of Pentacles

By Tarot.com Staff

The suit of Pentacles is your Tarot toolkit for building a life that actually works -- not just in theory, but in your bank account, your body, your home, your garden, your calendar, and your soul.

Pentacles (also called Coins, in some decks) rule the Earth element, and they’re all about what’s real. These cards don’t traffic in wishful thinking. They want you to dig in, get your hands dirty, and do the thing! Maybe the “thing” is growing your business, nourishing your health, or finally learning how to say, “No, actually, I deserve better.” It’s all interconnected.

These cards ask:

  • “What are you building?”
  • “What are you investing in?”
  • “What does ‘rich’ mean to you -- and are you letting yourself receive it?”

Pentacles speak the language of success, and not just the kind you can track with a spreadsheet. This suit reminds you that time, energy, love, stability, and purpose are all part of your portfolio.

Let’s walk the garden path from seed to legacy ...
