Seven of Pentacles |
 A young man, leaning on his staff, looks intently
at seven pentacles attached to a clump of greenery on his right; one would say that these
were his treasures and that his heart was there. : These are exceedingly contradictory; in the main, it is a card of money,
business, barter; but one reading gives altercation, quarrels--and another innocence,
ingenuity, purgation. Reversed: Cause for anxiety regarding money which it may be
proposed to lend. |
|
Eight of Pentacles |

in the form of trophies. : Work,
employment, commission, craftsmanship, skill in craft and business, perhaps in the

may also signify the possession of skill, in the sense of the ingenious mind turned to
cunning and intrigue. |

safety, success, accomplishment, certitude, discernment. Reversed: Roguery,
deception, voided project, bad faith.One seated on her couch in lamentation, with the
Pentacles over her. She is as one who knows no sorrow which is like unto hers. It is a
card of utter desolation. |
Ten of Pentacles |
