The Ace of Pentacles

In my bed-stricken, sickly state, I've been ruminating on the Ace of Pentacles. Discussing my financial situation, and the goals we have set in the next few years, no wonder this card was chosen second (well, third, if you count the second time that the fool was pulled). It made its appearance on Saturday, and I've been trying, for the past few days, to understand its purpose in my life. It is a green circle surrounded by scores of angel's wings. The breadth of the wings expands to surround the circle which contains a seven pointed star. It is a comforting card because it makes me feel as though all of my financial worries are in good hands.

The Ace is the beginning of things. It is the seed which, if properly maintained, a mighty oak tree may flourish. Everything that is needed for expansion is present in the Ace card. It is pure potential. No matter what suit it is in, the Ace is a firey card. It is that moment when choices are made that will affect the entire outcome of the game.

The pentacles are a heavy suit. The situations revealed by the suit of Pentacles deal primarily with the earth-bound plane. The Pentacles deals with the everyday but is not a suit that shoudl be taken lightly. This suit represents earth, solidity, and stability. When the pentacles are present in the reading, monetary situations may arise.

Because the Ace is a beginning, and the Pentacles suit deals with earthly concerns, depending on the context of the reading, when the Ace of Pentacles is pulled, there is usually the beginning of a financial gain or decline.
