Attribution - Mercury in Virgo
The suit of Pentacles represents the
element earth. This is the suit through which we can appreciate
what we have been given and it shows how we experience the
external world.
Pentacles can represent money
matters, resources, security, material concerns, prosperity,
wealth, service, status, and physical experiences in the body.
Tens represent the end of a cycle and
the beginning of a new one, summing up, using one’s experience,
renewal, return to unity, totality, completed circumstances, the
finish, transformation, now you’ve gone too far.
