Ace of Pentacles

Additional deck interpretation:

The Ace of Pentacles points you towards a path of preparing a solid material foundation for your future as you continue your journey through the seventy-eight passageways of growth.

This is the level on your continuous cycle of change when you realize the need to start establishing your career and planning to secure the necessary reserves to live a comfortable and relatively worry-free life. This is the time to begin using the "Gift of Earth".


The Aces are the "Controlling Cards" in my deck. They control your path and reveal where you are headed - into a new beginning. The Ace of Pentacles indicates that at this point in your life you are being offered a new opportunity for material improvement. You may be ready to unfold a new life plan and are ready to roll up your sleeves and do the hard work to achieve material abundance.

This Pentacle also brings you into the "Waxing Phase of the Moon" - a time when the seeds of talent are ready to be planted. This energy manifests into a windfall when you plant the seeds of abundance and watch them grow. Someone might give you the seeds to start your talent garden. Tend to them with love.

You are being offered the gift of material abundance. The secrets of success are knocking on your door, asking you to choose your direction wisely. Have faith in your talents and take one step at a time to realize your dreams.

Numerical Number 1: The Ace of Pentacles is enumerated one, the start of a cycle. This is the time when the seeds of abundance are ready to sprout and grow into something beautiful.

The Element of Earth: Pentacles are associated with a number of planet/zodiac sign combinations: Venus in Taurus (determination to achieve a creative endeavor), Mercury in Virgo (meticulous and detailed), and Saturn in Capricorn (the ambition to climb the mountain of success and not give up).

This Ace of Pentacles is also related to the angelic elemental qualities of earth (Archangel Uriel).


Probable Outcome: Something beautiful is about to unfold, related to a timing of change, which will result in a secure and firm foundation for future success.

You might experience a new beginning that is associated with an impending life change such as financial improvement, a salary increase with more money coming in, career change, promotion, recognition, a new opportunity (personal or professional), a gift, a degree, a secure relationship, fertility, a birth, or good health.

Or perhaps you might receive a lot of happy news.

For a man, this might be the time when the sperm will meet the egg and you will create a new life. For a woman, you might experience a pregnancy.

Possible Outcome: You might be experiencing problems or delays with securing a secure and firm foundation for financial improvement.

Perhaps you are having health problems or have received other bad news.

For a man, this might be the time when you are not ready to let the sperm meet the egg and create a new life. For a woman, you might experience delays with getting pregnant.

Maybe you are unable to channel the energies of the Ace of Pentacles into your life. If this is the case, you are probably not ready to plant any seeds, do any hard work, or start using your talents in any way because you are not ready to leave your comfort zone.

You might be in a phase of uncertainty and still have more planning to do before you are ready to kick-start a new beginning.

Timing: The Ace of Pentacles predicts that an overwhelming feeling of a need to succeed will be turned into dedicated action. This event may occur within 1-11 days or during the waxing phase of the moon.
