Build What Lasts
Welcome to Capricorn Week in our Tarot Through the Zodiac series, where we root deep, rise steady, and remember that real growth takes time.
Capricorn is where vision meets structure. Where dreams are tested for durability. Where the soul commits to something bigger than comfort.
This is the energy of devotion, not to perfection, but to purpose.

🜃 Earth in the Tarot: The Suit of Pentacles
The Pentacles govern:
💰 Money, career, and tangible resources
🌱 Physical well-being and grounded habits
🏗️ Long-term vision, effort, and legacy
Capricorn’s earth isn’t soft and fertile, it’s the mountain. It’s slow but unshakable. Focused. Formidable. Sacred.
“Earth reminds us that what’s built with soul doesn’t crumble under pressure.”
