The Deviant Moon Tarot- The Ace Of Pentacles

The Ace of Pentacles indicates great wealth and happiness. The happiness may be the culmination of something long desired but does not necessarily have a monetary value...some of the most wonderful gifts of life are not bought The Ace of Pentacles represents the seeds of the Pentacle suit, fresh energy and inspiration. In this case, the Pentacles are equal to the alchemical element of earth and therefore symbolize the material world and things associated with matter and the body.

In this card we see a Dragon grasping a Pentacle that appears to contain the Universe. Dragons are creatures that symbolize pure perfection and of being in harmony with both the material world and the spiritual realm.The conclusion of your progress is near, you need only to travel a short distance further and you can actually have a glimpse of what lies ahead. The Aces are all about a new start and this one as a Ace-Pentacle indicates that you need only undertake the work and do it joyfully and be confident about it.

The reversed Ace of Pentacles can indicate that you are worrying too much about money. We all need to pay attention to our finances but to be overly concerned can steal our capacity for happiness in the present moment. Count your blessings... do what you can and leave the rest to the Universe. In spiritual issues, the reversed Ace of Pentacles is a signal that you may benefit greatly from increased contact with people who are on a spiritual path.

Whether that's a path that's very similar to your own or whether you wish to learn more about very different ways of looking at things is up to you. The point is to go out into the world, and learn more about what others are saying, thinking and experiencing.

In health concerns, you don't have to spend a fortune to get and stay healthy. Simple things help support your health and many things are under your direct control, such as thinking positively, eating well, resting, getting exercise, and so on. Start small. Live one day at a time.

The Ace of Pentacles, like the Aces of the other suits, is representative of new beginnings, fresh energy, and inspiration. In this case, the pentacles represent the element of earth and therefore symbolize the material world and things associated with matter and the body. Pentacles also represent money and the financial concerns. 


The appearance of this card is usually the sign of a turn for the better in terms of fortune and wealth, and sometimes it can even indicate gifts of money, or inheritance from unexpected sources (the coin appearing from "thin air"). This gift does not necessarily mean money though... any kind of gift that has value to both the giver and the receiver can be indicated by this card.


 In relationship readings, the Ace of Pentacles may refer to wedding rings and proposals of marriage, which may seem out of place in the Pentacles suit until you realize that such proposals are the solid foundation upon which the castles of love must be built.


The Ace  can also represents the fertile soil in which ideas can be planted to grow and mature. This will be a slow growth, as the Pentacles never move at a fast pace but the success of the harvest is practically assured. The only caveat is that the Pentacles suit demands a realistic outlook. If you want to succeed... start now, hard work is the only thing that is going to produce results with the Ace of Pentacles. 


Keep your feet firmly planted in the Earth and let your common sense (and your intuition) guide you to success.




And speaking of material matters....

I've ordered two wonderful new decks this last weekend, the greatly anticipated "Shadowscapes Tarot" by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law which will be sent out the beginning of May and a signed, first edition deck of the Deviant Moon Tarot  by Patrick Valenza, which will be getting mailed to me after he returns from a trip this coming Friday. I'm SO excited! The Deviant Moon is a well spoken of deck and just unique enough to catch my attention...and the "Shadowscapes Tarot"  has been in the making for several years and Stephanie's artwork is simply stunning!

When I first started out learning to read the tarot, I almost always relied on the LWB (little white book) that comes with (whatever) deck I was using. Later, I learned to trust in myself a bit more and started "going with my gut" which usually turned out to be more appropriate for the situation than the LWB was. I began take the advice of many seasoned readers and kept a notebook with my observations of the cards and a few simple spreads...I now give this advice to anyone just starting out.

Aces, I learned, are about beginnings and Pentacles stood for material things such as financial issues and material goods. Just for grins and giggles, I picked up the LWB for The Universal Waite deck (which I'm going to be using for a while as my daily deck and for Tarot Tuesdays) and read what keywords it had for the Ace of Pentacles. It read: perfection; attainment; prosperity; felicity; bliss; valuable coins or artifacts; treasures and the combination of material and spiritual riches...Wow, that's heavy!

Although the keywords from the LWB are a general idea to start with when learning,  it's been my experience that the Ace of Pentacles,( like the Aces of the other suits)  represents  new beginnings, fresh energy and inspiration. and  symbolize the material world and things associated with matter and the body... (they also represent money and  financial concerns) and therefore a deeper meaning can be attributed than just single words such as riches, treasure, bliss or gold. To me, it is a progression... starting  from... 1.  having a  desire or need (Cups) 2. the need becomes an idea or concept (Swords) 3. then the idea is put into action (Wands) 4. and with the action, you then begin experiencing the end result (Pentacles.)

The Ace of Pentacles can be an indication that you will be able to make your dreams real. Your ideas can now be turned into something tangible.  Maybe that funding that you needed will be available for you to get your ideas off the ground. Now may be the time to tap into the material force of the Ace of Pentacles and  have all your ideas  succeed.
