About the suit of Pentacles
Pentacles (also called coins or disks) are the suit of earth: money, work, health, home and the practical side of life. Pentacles cards are about building things that last. The four court cards of each suit (Page, Knight, Queen and King) can stand for people in your life, or for ways of handling a situation: the curious beginner, the person of action, the one who understands it from the inside, and the one in charge.
