Ace of Pentacles is considered perhaps the best of all the Minor Arcana. The Ace of Pentacles s a very good sign in general, it carries excellent views of the future and real luck. The beginning of something new, the emergence of new resources and priorities, the acquisition of specific benefits.

Any ace is a gift that is given as an opportunity for new experience. Here it is a gift of material reality – prosperity, sufficiency, income, abundance of resources.

Something is simply GIVEN, as a gift of life, and usually material . Sometimes it means wealth of a different kind, but in any case it is an opportunity to acquire something very valuable. The materialistic energy of the Ace of Pentacles helps to benefit from everything.

This is one of the happiest cards. Ace of Pentacles talks about the opportunity to gain new deep experience, to find something permanent and significant, and the spectrum of action is very wide, from financial success to spiritual enlightenment. It speaks of the opportunity to lay the foundation for something solid, lasting, and truly valuable.

Ace of Pentacles is a very strong card, a kind of definitive answer. According to Etheilla, if Ace of Pentacles shows up in a spread, the whole result of divination is auspicious.

Ace of Pentacles reduces the negative impact of any cards surrounding it.

Personal Mood

Minion of Fortune. Complete satisfaction, well-being, contentment. The all-encompassing joy of a worthy life, full of blessings.

Happiness as lasting well-being, health, stability in life, prosperity, and lasting sensual relationships.

A sense of stability, security, confidence and solidity of being.

A positive and valuable experience, no matter what a person undertakes.

Life is like a beautiful well-kept flowering garden, full of stability and reliability.

On a Deeper Level

The Ace of Pentacles is not just material wealth. This is a combination of material and spiritual well-being. Ace of Pentacles carries spiritual awareness. It is an experience of genuine, essential perception and absorption of earthly existence.

Ace of Pentacles teaches us that well-being is the ultimate natural state of a person. It does not hinder, but helps to express one’s spirituality and creativity in this world.

Therefore, one must remain open to all forms of life enrichment. Most of us live with a constant feeling of being limited in goods, lacking something that we would like to have.

We are so accustomed to this constant scarcity – of our own strength, free time, beautiful things, happy love – that we hardly notice that we are “hungry” all the time. This hunger has long become our second self.

Ace of Pentacles says it’s easy!

You just need to be ready to live this abundant life, calmly remaining open to all the new influx of blessings.

Ace of Pentacles is the strongest esoteric card. Gates are depicted on the card. Ace of Pentacles shows us the way to another world. It is this Ace, the flesh of the flesh of this world, that considers it his duty to confess the existence of another world. Through a garden surrounded by a green hedge, the path runs to a flower arch, behind which the mountain peaks are blue.

This oval arch resembles the wreath surrounding the World on the final Major Arcana. The mountains visible in the arch opening are a reminder that comfort and attachment to earthly goods delay us on the path leading to the joys of the Spirit. But still, this path is inevitable, and a path winds through the garden … Ace of Pentacles reminds us that everything earthly is spiritual. Accept whatever this world gives you, Ace of Pentacles says. Immerse yourself in it, return to it and learn the secrets of life.

Life is full of miracles that do not require any special magical manipulations, because everything in life is magic. Everything that is visible in life is secret. Everything is secret – obviously. Learn to treat the body as a living temple of the soul, to see sacred action in the simplest things, to feel physical happiness.

Ace of Pentacles affects the influence of Capricorn and Cancer (from the top to the abyss), and Capricorn, which is more in line with the spirit of Pentacles, is associated with the tenth House (Middle of Heaven) – a symbol of searching and dissatisfaction with what has been achieved. Therefore, the Ace of Pentacles sets “Capricorn” situations: career, professional excellence, separation from roots, perhaps a break with people in order to gain new opportunities for self-realization.

Light and shadow (advice and caution)

Advice – joyfully use the many gifts of Fortune. Concentrate on stabilizing and enriching your being, gaining positive and valuable life experience. Bring strength, beauty, prosperity into your life. Think extremely realistically.

The warnings of the Ace of Pentacles boil down to the fact that greed is still a vice, and hoarding should not become the meaning of life. Ace of Pentacles could hint at excessive greed, a desire for material success at any cost, and an overly materialistic outlook on life. By acquiring more and more things, a person tries to drown out the feeling of vulnerability and insecurity.

Financial Situation

Few cards can bring so much joy in difficult times!

The traditional meanings of the Ace of Pentacles, which you can guess even without knowing anything about the Tarot, are acquisitions, wealth, receiving money, gifts, valuables. Ace of Pentacles announces the appearance of a long-awaited favorable opportunity regarding finances. Financial assistance, receiving an inheritance or subsidy, gaining a patron. Luck in financial matters is on the way, worries behind.

A sign of colossal material gain, sufficient resources for undertakings that bring prosperity and well-being. This is a card of material wealth, financial prosperity and wide opportunities.

Profit from investments. Successful settlement of financial affairs. Opening a bank account, cash inflow.

Life in the bosom of nature. The Ace of Pentacles is considered an indicator of country houses. Purchase of land.

Personal Relations

A new happy turn of events, excellent prospects for a life together. Honeymoon. The Ace of Pentacles is an indicator of strong and stable relationships with long-term potential (if a Star is added here, it is a lifelong matter). Its traditional meaning is great happiness.

When it comes to personal life, all Aces indicate the presence of powerful energy, just each of them emphasizes its special quality. The Ace of Pentacles is just as good for relationships as the Ace of Cups, only with more emphasis on the sensual aspect, possession, physical attraction. Ace of Pentacles pretty much “grounds” the path from heart to heart and inclines to please each other in an extremely tangible way.

In love – earthly pleasures, usually within the framework of a long and lasting relationship.

This is a very sexy card, it has a special relationship with carnal love, setting up the search for new sensations and the discovery of new opportunities for mutual pleasure.

Ace of Pentacles brings great trust to the body, teaches you to treat it respectfully, passionately and without far-fetched embarrassment.

Enrichment of sexual experience, sharpness of feelings. Fertility.

Good mutual understanding, interest in each other, concern for building happy and harmonious relationships.

A solid foundation is formed by physical attraction and / or material interests (which do not necessarily come down to mercantile calculations – this can be a deeply and completely satisfying life).

Health

Physical strength, good health, flourishing condition, good immunity.

In accordance with the Pythagorean teachings, the five-pointed star (and therefore the “pentacle”) is a symbol of perfect harmony and integrity of the body and spirit.

Reversed Ace of Pentacles alludes to the need to take prophylactic drugs and vitamins in order to “nourish” and strengthen the physical body.

In general, the Ace of Pentacles in the health layout suggests that more attention should be paid to maintaining physical fitness.

Reversed Ace of Pentacles

In a reversed position, the Ace of Pentacles can mean misuse of property or power, squandering money, embezzlement.

Excessive spending, insatiability, neurotic “shopaholism”, new acquisitions as a fixed idea. Meanwhile, saving now is much more useful than spending!

In principle, the loss of a source of income is possible. The reverse ace of Pentacles can manifest – stinginess, greed, clinging to money. Wealth that spoils a person.

Ace of Pentacles can be an indication of deferrals and delays associated with payments. Collision with fakes, (most likely, material ones). Illegal salary. Black checkout.

Useless costs. A result achieved too late and not satisfying (it can a salary that does not make ends meet).

Sometimes there are indications of a loss of money, but rather in the form of a shortfall in profits than bankruptcy.

But in general, unlike the reversed Ace of Cups, the Ace of Pentacles, no matter how you twist it, remains a huge gold coin. And most authors agree that the reversed position does not greatly darken its brilliance and does not diminish its weight (except that it still narrows the meaning – wealth, capital, luxury, treasure, other, more subtle manifestations are excluded)

Based on some observations, success that came at too high a price. At the memory of this price, a person becomes sad. Sometimes – wealth without happiness, a precarious position, although it looks brilliant.

With Other Cards

If the surrounding cards are unfavorable, then success will bring with it its bad sides, typical misfortunes associated with it, primarily envy. Sorrows and troubles concerning money matters.

With the Hierophant – a successful marriage.

Reversed with Nine of Cups or Three of Cups – easy money is easily spent, squandering.

Alister Crowley

The Ace of Pentacles indicates that it is time to understand yourself, look around and find ways out of the difficult situation. Ace of Pentacles promises wealth, – spiritual, not material. The Ace of Pentacles also speaks of luck, but one that must be earned. Do not wait for gifts of fate, Ace of Pentacles only gives opportunities.

It might take a lot of effort to change the current situation. But the result will be worth it. Time has come for action.

Unlike the Rider-Waite Tarot, the Ace of Pentacles Thoth looks like an art.

In the center of the Arcanum is a golden disk framed by six wings. The card colors are dark green and brown. The pentacle is framed by the inscription TO MEGA OHPION. If you take a closer look at the card,

in the very center we will see a magical heptagram, inside it is the so-called “Mark of the Beast” (three intersecting circles and a semicircle), as well as the number 666 and one above it. Here it is worth noting that Crowley renamed the suit of Pentacles or Coins into Disks for a reason: he writes that all the planets rotate, therefore the suit must also have a rotating emblem, which is the Disk.

Emerald green color – means – Nature, vegetation, new green of spring

Golden disc along with wings – Emblem of the Sun

Rotating disk – Comparison with the rotation of the planets in the solar system

Magical Heptagram – Seal of Crowley

“Mark of the Beast” (three intersecting circles, a circle with a dot – the Sun, below it is the crescent of the Moon) – Masculinity, a stylized image of male genitalia

Number 666 – Number of the Great Beast of the Apocalypse
One over 666 – If we add 1 to 666, we get 667 – the number of Babalon, the Scarlet Woman,

Inscription TO MEGA OHPION (To Mega Therion) – Signature of Crowley himself, who called himself “The Great Beast”

For Crowley, this card is rather an indication that only through real deeds can a person express his true “I”. And real deeds are only what the person himself aspires to: for some, the realization of the Ace of Disks is physical work, for others y he work is art, for some it could be other realization.

The main thing is manifest yourself in this world, on the physical plane.

Many beginners ask the question, how can this card answer an unambiguous question – the Ace of Disks Tarot Thoth – “yes” or “no”? Personally, I think this is more of a positive answer.

The shadow meaning of the card is usually considered to be greed and materialism, but I think it also can be about idleness, unwillingness to follow one’s destiny, the inability to “find oneself” in this world.
