The Suit of Pentacles

The Suit of Pentacles (sometimes called Coins) is about the tangible: what you build, earn, save and care for. From the seed of opportunity in the Ace to the generational wealth of the Ten, these fourteen cards help with questions about career, finances, home and health habits.

Pentacles are the suit of earth. They describe the practical side of life: money, work, home, the body and long-term security. Many Pentacles in a reading suggest the question is rooted in real-world concerns, and that patient, steady effort will matter most.

How to read the Pentacles by number

• Ace of Pentacles: Aces carry the pure, undiluted energy of their suit. They are seeds and doorways: an offer, an opening, a first spark.
• Five of Pentacles: Fives introduce disruption. They are the challenge in the middle of each suit's story, and they ask you to adapt.
• Ten of Pentacles: Tens complete the cycle, sometimes as fulfillment and sometimes as a burden that must be released.

The four court cards, the Page, Knight, Queen and King of Pentacles, can describe real people in your life or parts of your own personality.
