Signs speak to you. What about your zodiac signs?
Sun, Moon and Rising: the foundation of your birth chart
A five-pointed star inside a circle: the pentacle is one of humanity’s oldest symbols. Protection, the elements, white magic, tarot: it has crossed civilizations, changing faces along the way.
Pentagram or pentacle, meaning, inverted pentacle and reasons to wear one: here is everything you need to know.
✦
A pentacle is a five-pointed star surrounded by a circle; the pentagram is the star alone. It is a very old spiritual symbol: it appears in Mesopotamia around 3000 BC and is found in many cultures.
The Pythagoreans made it their sign of recognition, and for good reason: each branch of the pentagram is cut according to the golden ratio, the proportion of perfect harmony. The circle around it makes it a whole, closed and protected.
✦ ✦
Depending on how it is used, the pentacle takes on several meanings:
A symbol of faith, it represents the five elements, water, air, fire, earth and spirit, bound together by the circle. Worn point up, it shows the spirit rising above matter; it also accompanies initiation.
It is a powerful protector: a talisman against negative energy, used in rituals, sometimes with runes or stones depending on the purpose.
The suit of Pentacles, or Coins, is the suit of earth: money, work, the body and everything built in the material world.

Point down, the pentacle changes meaning: matter rises above spirit. Some modern occult currents have made it the emblem of the horned god, especially when a goat’s head is drawn inside it.
But an inverted pentacle is not necessarily evil: in some traditions it simply marks a return to the earth, the body, what lies buried. As always in symbolism, intention gives the meaning.
✦ ✦
There is no single meaning of the pentacle. Here are others:
✦
It is up to you to choose what it represents: your faith in magic, protection, a bond with nature, a reminder of your place in the universe. The pentacle is a guide on your spiritual path; find the meaning that speaks to you.
Choose it preferably in silver, the metal of the moon and intuition, and wear it point up. Cleanse it with incense smoke or under the moon before wearing it, and from time to time after that.
