Where it sits in the deck

Tarot is a deck of 78 picture cards. 56 of them, like this one, are about everyday life. They come in four groups, called suits, a bit like playing cards.

Pentacles: money, work and home. Pentacles are coins with a star on them. In tradition, the suit of Earth.

Court cards are people, or a side of you. Page: the beginner, curious and keen. Knight: the doer, all action. Queen: the one who understands it from the inside. King: the one who's in charge of it.
