Symbolism

A hand emerges from a cloud holding a golden pentacle above a lush garden. Below, a path leads through an archway of white lilies toward distant mountains. The image is a seed of material opportunity: something real and tangible being placed in your hands, waiting to be planted.

✦ A word from Ace of Pentacles: Plant the seed, then tend it patiently.
