Suit of Pentacles (Earth)

The Suit of Pentacles is the Minor Arcana's earth suit, associated with the element of Earth, the material world, and the faculty of sensation. In the Waite-Smith deck, Pentacles bear the five-pointed star within a circle, the pentagram as symbol of incarnate spirit in matter. The suit governs wealth, craft, labor, health, and the physical body — from the Ace's golden coin offered from a cloud, through the Seven's patient assessment of slow growth, to the Ten's multigenerational estate and inherited abundance. Court cards (Page, Knight, Queen, King of Pentacles) represent practical temperaments from the student of craft to the master of material prosperity. In the Marseille tradition this suit is called Deniers (Coins).
