Three of Pentacles

What the card shows

A stonemason stands on a bench inside a cathedral, chiseling while a monk and a robed figure holding plans consult with him. Three pentacles are carved into the arch above, honoring skill, planning and cooperation.

In the suit of Pentacles (element: Earth), the focus is money, work, the body and everyday life. Threes are where the suit first takes shape and produces results, whether that is a team effort or a hard truth.
