Tarot: meaning of the Ace of Pentacles card

Table Of Contents

Ace of Pentacles

The illustration on the card follows the theme of divine revelation, as in the Ace of Wands - a hand from the cloud extends a large golden pentacle. This wonderful view appears right before your nose as you head out of the garden. Mountains are visible in the distance. Symbolically, this speaks of success achieved through one’s efforts.

The coin depicts a star - this is a pentagram. It combines five primary elements: fire, water, earth, air, ether.

Meanings and Interpretation

Direct meaning

The practical side of life comes to the fore in the form of the real fruits of labor. Good achievements at work. And most importantly6 patience and work will bear great fruits, these are just flowers, but the berries are yet to come. The Ace of Pentacles is a symbol of receiving something concrete, but no less joyful and pleasant than liveliness and good spirits according to the Wands. Having pocket money. A person always has money for his needs.

In the near future, you will have the opportunity to earn extra money on top of your regular income.

This card is a symbol of physical well-being, and it reminds us of a respectful attitude towards the material side of the world, and this is not only money, but also our body, health, and practical skills.

Reversed and negative meaning:

The negative aspect of this suit: corruption by money, dry calculation, mercantilism. In the Wands there was corruption by power.

Material well-being, but without happiness.

There is a risk of losing money, especially next to the cards: Fool, Moon, Hanged Man, Devil. Fines and thefts are foreshadowed by cards: 5,7, Knight of Wands and Knight of Swords, 7 of Swords. Unplanned health expenses: 3,4,10 Swords. In general, in the negative aspect, the Ace of Pentacles speaks of monetary losses, and the explanatory cards will tell you where to expect a threat.

Perhaps this is a warning that due to comfort and a quiet stay in the garden, enjoying the pleasures of the flesh, you are stuck in one place, and you do not want to set out to conquer mountain peaks. But sooner or later the treasury will be empty!

The reversed Ace of Pentacles retains its positive meaning, but in an exaggerated form, jewelry turns into countless and tasteless trinkets, money in such excessive quantities that they begin to waste it. Human relations turn into commodity-market relations, faith in feelings and sincerity disappears, everything around is measured by money. It is worth remembering the legend about King Midas - everything he touched turned into gold, and he died of hunger. Perhaps, of course, you have experienced deprivation before, and now you are so afraid of a repetition of a similar situation that you are obsessed with money. Fearing losses, you yourself reduce the range of favorable opportunities, the maximum intensity - this line will be reached in the Four of Pentacles card. This is exactly the case when money is kept in a stocking under the mattress.

Personal relationships

Pentacles speak only of dense earthly matters; this is the most material suit in the deck. You shouldn’t even try to interpret it on the topic of relationships; that’s what Wands and Cups are for. The abundance of pentacles in a love-themed layout directly indicates selfish interest or financial problems. Pentacles are good only as a complement and indicate that there will be no financial problems in the family. You can expect help from relatives and an inheritance. From a financial point of view, such an alliance is beneficial.

Business and finance

A map of financial success, this is of course not billions of dollars, but a good profit for small businesses and individual entrepreneurs. Wait for a financial offer. This is a new opportunity: a promotion, a lucrative offer, an increase in salary or revenue.

Professions and field of activity

Craft professions. A field of activity in which a person creates something material with his own hands: from a gardener to a sculptor and artists.

Studies

Personality

A thrifty and hardworking person at the beginning of his career.

Ace of Pentacles in health

There may be minor problems with excess weight. Risk of genetic diseases. Tumors and calluses. Basically good health or recovery in the presence of illness. High energy, good supply of body resources. It is worth paying attention to your health and not letting the slightest ailments take their course.

Inverted position - treatment or prevention and strengthening of the immune system is necessary. Perhaps you should take a course of vitamins and walk more in the fresh air.

Advice from the Ace of Pentacles - your financial situation and your success depend only on you and your actions, so analyze the situation and don’t miss your chance. If you find something, don’t be too happy, especially don’t brag, if you lose something, don’t be upset, there will always be something that will bring consolation.

At the end of the layout in which the Ace of Pentacles fell, you can ask yourself the following questions to clarify the situation and analyze the current state of affairs:

- What does happiness mean to you? Are you happy at the moment?

- what do you need to have to be happy, or do you already have it?

- if you receive a certain amount of money that you did not expect, how will you manage it?

— where do you look for your happiness and how far are you willing to go? There are mountains in the distance on the map, which mountains are you ready to climb, and what are you ready to overcome on your difficult path?

Card of the day:

Today you may be lucky. This is not necessarily a cash amount. But also a successful purchase that will pay off in the future. It is also a good day to start any business, especially those related to housekeeping and making money.

Use this opportunity to earn money.

If the layout as a whole is not very good, but there are cards: Ace, Nine, Ten, King, Queen of Pentacles - this indicates that you will be able to achieve significant material success, but after this a series of troubles will begin caused by this success: envy , obsession with money.
