Tarot Card Instructions for the Suit of Coins

Part and parcel of the Minor Arcana, the suit of coins is sometimes referred to as either the suit of discs or even the suit of pentacles. Since the cards contain a pentagram, they are frequently maligned as being devilish or otherwise evil in meaning, yet this is not necessarily the case. Tarot card instructions for the suit of coins vary, although there are a number of oddities surrounding the ace of coins; meanings vary widely and if ever there was a card that caused fortune tellers to quip about a tall, dark stranger, it is the ace of coins. This is due to its direct relationship with the coming of something from a higher power.

When the two of coins is employed in conjunction with the lovers' card, there is an impending marriage to report. The three of coins is a double edged sword with respect to its meaning: right side up, the card speaks of the achievement of fame and fortune by one's handiwork or labor while upside down, the card speaks of shoddy workmanship and a failure to earn income or respect because such little care was taken with the labor involved in a task at hand. When paired with the judgment or death cards, an upside down three of coins may point to the loss of a job or a demotion.

One card that is inherently negative is the four of coins which, when right side up, denotes the querent as being materialistically inclined in the negative sense while card upside down speaks of an unwise and careless squanderer of wealth and goods. Going from bad to worse, the five of coins showcases the individual caught in a seemingly hopeless situation that will continue on for a while yet. The card calls for perseverance and discernment but also for a reevaluating of the relationships currently in the life of the person receiving the reading.

The tarot card instructions the six of coins denote charity that may be either received or meted out in a judicious matter. When the seven of coins is paired with the devil card, a promotion is in the wings as the seven by itself speaks of an action that is coming and which will physically shift the querent from one place in life to another. On the other hand, an eight of coins and the devil card may showcase that the work is not yet being appreciated the way it needs to be and any movement the seeker hopes for might have to come from a change of jobs. When combined with a nine of coins, this may point to a marital or love relationship where the personal attributes or character of the querent are not as appreciated as they could be. Finally, the ten of coins showcases the mix of financial and familial matters, though the outcome is ambiguous.
