Daughter of Pentacles
Upright: Manifestation, financial opportunity, skill development
Reversed: Lack of progress, procrastination, learn from failure
Daughter of Pentacles, like the Daughters of all four Tarot suits, brings a welcome message of new beginnings, inspiration, and the initial stages of a creative project or venture. When Daughter of Pentacles appears in a Tarot reading, you are tapping into your ability to manifest a personal goal or dream and may be in the midst of a new project, business venture, or the start of a new educational experience. You are excited about the possibilities and potential of what you put your mind to, knowing you can create whatever you want with focused intention and action. However, this Daughter does not specify the fulfillment of dreams as much as the initial motivation and energy to begin the process of turning those dreams to reality. You need to stay focused on the practical and tangible elements, keeping your feet planted on the ground, always looking for the next realistic and achievable step forward. Your common sense and a pragmatic approach will lead you to a solution that works.
Daughter of Pentacles holds a Spanish style fan and wears face paint. She has a traditional Dia de los Muertos headdress, and the fan is a light spring green color. The green Pentacle suggests new wealth- material or otherwise. She looks a bit self-conscious with her body, or new womanhood. Pentacles correspond to the alchemical element of Earth, and in this sense the coin that the Daughter holds may symbolize the beginnings of sensual awareness.
Most myths generally view Virgo as a virgin/maiden. The symbolism behind the name speaks well of the Virgo nature, born with a feeling they are experiencing everything for the first time. The sign of Virgo is easily attached to the symbolism of a virgin, cautious when it comes to starting new relationships. She will never simply give herself to someone without assessing their character and emotions shared with her from the beginning.
