Tarot cards in the Pentacles suit -- sometimes referred to as "Coins" -- pertain to things in the material and physical world. Often Pentacles are mistaken as only symbols of wealth and money matters. But in truth they speak of success and prosperity on all levels -- this includes money and career success, but also family, body, and health matters.

This suit corresponds to the astrological Earth signs of Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo.

Pentacles represent the medieval Merchant class, indicating business, money and material possession. These are cards of practical skill and tangible accomplishment. They are also known as Coins and Disks, and have become Diamonds in a modern deck of cards.

Pentacles is an Earth element, which represent stability, practicality, and determination, as well as giving and receiving. When a Pentacles card turns up in a Tarot reading, it’s typically an indicator that something in your material world needs attention.
