Suit of Pentacles Symbolism | Tarot Card Reading & Meanings | Minor Arcana

There are a lot good reasons for doing the Snoopy Dance when you see the Suit of Pentacles show up in a reading – and not just because of those loud ka-ching sounds! In older decks, this suit was, uh, coined the Suit of Coins. In a regular deck of playing cards, this suit corresponds to the Suit of Diamonds.

In tarot card meanings, Pentacles symbolize material prosperity and abundance. But, sometimes, Pentacles have nothing to do with money at all. Besides, who pays their bills in coins anymore?

Pentacles tarot cards are all about “true” prosperity and abundance. While money has something to do with that, it isn’t “everything”. Your well-being and happiness in this material world matter more and Pentacles tell the story of what’s going on or what’s about to happen regarding these.

True, not having enough money to pay for basic necessities can be frightening. But in the end it’s only a tool that allows you to get the things you need – just like a hammer is one of many tools needed to build a house.

Note that the Pentacles in the Tarot are engraved with Pentagrams. The Pentagram is a five-pointed star, drawn in a single stroke. It symbolizes the universe in perfect balance and governed by spirit.

So the Suit of Pentacles is really about living in harmony with the material world? Excellent question. You get a five-pointed gold star! Living in harmony is making sure you’re meeting your physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual needs.

The Suit of Pentacles contains so many insights into the world of physical, material, spiritual, emotional, and psychic fulfillment. That's why I asked esteemed colleague, symbolism and tarot card reading expert Dayna Winters to come with me on an exploration of the suit of cups in tarot to examine how it's one of the deepest, most complex, nuanced suits in the minor arcana.

More about the Suit of Pentacles:

Suit of Pentacles Symbolism Pentacles are associated with the Element of Earth. They’re also the end result of the manifestation process (reaping what you sow).

So if you ever wondered what it’s all about, you’re right in the middle of it.

That’s why these Pentacles are inscribed with Pentagrams. The Pentagram’s origin can be traced to ancient Mesopotamia, and its meaning has changed several times throughout history. Here, each point represents one of the Four Elements: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire – plus a Fifth Element: Spirit (Aether, Ether), also called the Quintessence.

All elements participate in manifesting an idea. But to make this happen, they must all work in harmony with one another.

That’s why the Suit of Pentacles is also about balance.

The idea that the right side up Pentagram symbolizes good and the upside down version represents evil is only about 200 years old. It’s also an oversimplification. When upside down, the Pentagram actually shows that things are out of balance.
