Tarot Tuesday: Pentacles

This week for our Tarot Tuesday,  I am going to discuss the Pentacles which may also be referred to as coins or disks. Pentacles are represented by the element of Earth.  They generally are about material aspects of life including work, possessions and money.

When you see Pentacles, it is about manifestation, prosperity and deals with the physical level of our consciousness.  If you see them in a reading the person may be concerned about income and personal possessions.
