Pentacles – or coins, as you might call them – deal with the material realm: work, money, health, stability, and everything that keeps us secure.
As you go along, you’ll very quickly find that the cards that make up this suit will ask you one thing: What do you treasure?
This is the suit of patience and persistence, of building something from the ground up. All of them a reminder that true success is in the work, in creating something meaningful, in something that lasts.
