What the card shows

A figure clutches coins tightly. The card invites reflection on security and the difference between stability and holding too tightly.

Consider whether protecting a resource is supporting your life or making it feel smaller.

The suit of Pentacles

Pentacles belong to earth. They concern the body, work, money, home and the slow building of something lasting. Pentacles cards ask what you are tending and how it supports everyday life.
