Tarot Disks, Coins, or Pentacles Defined
The Tarot archetypes are simply pictures representing life and the stages and experiences we all go through from birth until death. They are symbols of all life cycles. The Pentacles (also called coins or disks in some decks) archetypes are those of Earth and Sensing. Pentacles are also called the Coins, the Disks. The nature of the Pentacles is to experience all that is tangible. Keywords for Pentacles include: business, finance, money, material gain or loss, inheritance, values, the senses.

As we travel through the cycles of life, we use different parts of our being, the personality or spirit. Those personality functions are pictured by archetype in the 56 cards in the four suits of the Tarot, (Wands, Swords, Cups, and Pentacles). We also encounter events and people who fit the symbolic archetypes. Carl Jung described the archetypes as:

Wands - Fire - Intuition
Swords - Air - Thinking
Cups - Water - Feeling
Pentacles - Earth - Sensing
Major Arcana = One's Life Journey
Minor Arcana = People and Events along the way (Wands, Pentacles, Swords, Cups in the card decks)

The cards are laid in a spread to answer a question (a reading) usually on the topics of love, relationships, family, wealth and money, stress, problems, life decisions, health, careers and work, meditation, daily guidance, prayer, and personal growth. Order Your Personal Tarot Reading Today

Archetype Meanings & Keywords of the Disks, Coins, Pentacles in Tarot Cards

Pentacles represent the material affairs of life. The day to day affairs which we all have to experience. How you are handling your thoughts and feelings will be reflected into this basic level. The material world is important, and when it is balanced with spiritual understanding, we discover happiness and contentment within our daily lives.
