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.

Divinatory Meaning: 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.

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.
