The Pentacles cards represent the element of Earth. This is the element of work, the body and the senses, money, home, and all tangible things. Six of Cups. Two children in a sheltered garden space enjoy the fragrance of fresh flowers. They symbolize the safety and innocence of child­hood, when tender feelings are sheltered from the harsh world. You may need some of this sheltering now. Four of Swords. The effigy of a knight adorns his tomb, and his swords are hung nearby in honor of a lifetime of victorious endeavor. He is at rest now and will fight no more. This scene is a symbol of strife that is permanently ended. The knight is hon­orably released from the past and can go in peace.

If you want to learn more about the possible meanings of each card, I suggest buying a tarot-dedicated book to learn from and use these cards to practice reading Tarot. The guidebook is not very accessible for beginners. The Golden Art Nouveau Tarot Cards Nine of Pentacles. A noblewoman has created a garden sanctuary for herself where she can contem­plate the richness of her inner life. She is content to dwell in solitude with only a bird as companion, for she is at peace with herself. She chooses inde­pendence as her reward for the sacrifice of society. Ten of Pentacles. Three generations gather in the courtyard of their ancestral home. The elder patri­arch has given the responsibilities of the household over to his son, but his wisdom is still revered. The young ones are being taught to respect the family’s legacy of tradition, honor, and continuity.

X VI - The Tower. A blast from the heavens de­stroys a Tower that seemed unconquerable, its magnificent crown-like dome tumbling to the ground. Two people fall helplessly from the heights. The Tower was built with such a forbid­ding design that it imprisoned them in their own creation, with no easy exit. Seek liberation on your own, or the universe may give it to you in unex­pected ways. Knight of Cups. With his chalice lifted in salute, this knight represents the approach of love and ro­mance. The wings on his helm and heels symbolize the swiftness of his advances, and it can also signify that he may leave as swiftly as he came. Test his heart for trueness before you surrender your own. Queen of Cups. This queen brings grace and sensuality to everything she touches, and she smoothes over rough situations with her gentle kindness. She is highly intuitive and makes deci­sions based upon heart rather than head. Although she may retreat into her dreamy world of imagi­nation, she is a deeply committed mate once her heart is won.Nine of Swords. A man awakens from a violent nightmare. He starts from the bed, lost in terror and despair. This is the dark night of the soul, when all seems lost.

From the heights of his establish­ment, a gentleman looks out the landscape below. In one hand he grasps a wand and the other holds King of Pentacles. This king has the tenacity of a bull combined with shrewd practicality. He sees the long view and builds for the future, for his pri­mary purpose is stability. When he agrees to help you, success is assured. This may include a sub­stantial gift or loan that brings a long-held dream into reality The art is so detailed that if you are a beginner reader you will be able to figure out what the card means by the details in the image.

Four of Wands. Citizens of the city prepare for a festival to mark a time of great joy. Such festivals are vital to the human spirit, for they affirm that life is more than just day-to-day routine. When peace and harmony return after a time of trouble, pause to celebrate. It is important to create ceremonies to mark significant events.
