Tarot Tutorial: Ace of Pentacles Meaning

It’s amazing how itty bitty things can get so big. We’re not just talking about your baby niece, who is learning how to drive all of a sudden. All of the tarot aces are about tiny things getting ready to sprout. The Ace of Pentacles is the earthiest of the aces, so it usually represents the beginning of a cycle with something tangible at its end. Remember that Ace of Pentacles energy needs TLC before manifesting its promised potential. Time helps too. Whether this seed blooms or shrivels is all up to you. A professional Tarot Reading can go even deeper into the meaning of this card, but here’s an overview of what The Ace of Pentacles represents in a reading. 

Ace of Pentacles in a Love Reading

While people don’t usually make a lot of noise about the Ace of Pentacles turning up in a love reading, they should. Remember what we said up top about it being earthy—as in tune with its senses and sensuality earthy? Mmm-hmm. The sexual chemistry with a new lover has the potential to be off the hook here! Expect to feel the sizzle right from the get-go. It’s going to feel easy to be swept up in the rush of supercharged sensuality (and who could blame you), but if you’re more interested in finding Mr. Right and not just Mr. Right Now, you really need to take a look at the rest of the cards in the reading. The red-hot start might fizzle out if there’s nothing there to feed the flames. The Ace of Pentacles is a clue that there’s something there that can kickstart a long-term relationship, but it’ll be up to you to build on it.

Are you already in a long-term relationship? Seeing the Ace of Pentacles in a love reading can signal a break in a rut you’ve been stuck in. Maybe you weren’t aware you were in a rut? Ouch. But—here’s your chance to make things better. The time is right to reconnect with your partner. Start simple by making time to talk more or scheduling a regular date night. With the Ace of Pentacle’s energy, you might find these little steps turn up the heat between the two of you faster than it takes a Beyonce album to go platinum. Also, don’t be surprised if things get a little, shall we say, experimental in the bedroom. So long as you both consent, don’t be afraid to try something new.

Has the Ace of Pentacles shown up reversed in your love reading? That sizzle is there but expect a block. The block can come from circumstances, like one or both of you being extra frazzled with work. It can be an emotional block too. Who hasn’t gone through a moment when life has just been so extra that you only have enough emotional spoons to watch re-runs of The Bachelor? Look sis, the potential is still there, waiting for you to claim it. But you may have to shift some priorities to fully take advantage of it or resign yourself to putting toe-curling lovemaking aside for a while.

Ace of Pentacles in a Future Reading

Expect the energy of the Ace of Pentacles to manifest itself in a concrete way when you see it in a future reading. Because pentacles are linked to money and other material things, it could be telling you to expect a bit of cash to be coming your way. Depending on the other cards around it, the Ace of Pentacles might be indicating that the time is right to invest money or time in an opportunity that will pay off really well for you in the end. It can also signal the start of a new job. If you were thinking about starting a new business or even just a side hustle, the potential bank you bring in would be worth the effort.

But it isn’t always about the Benjamins with the Ace of Pentacles either. Its meaning can be expanded out to the symbolic planting of any seed with the potential to grow bigger. Yes, any seed. If you were thinking about trying to have a baby soon, congrats! The odds are in your favor for expanding your family tree. It also can point to a period of better health or fitness. The energy is looking good for you to get swole or beach bod ready.

If you see the Ace of Pentacles reversed in a future reading, expect a shaky start to anything new you’ll be taking on, especially if it has anything to do with cash flow or your physical body. Be sure to see what the other cards in the reading are doing. It is possible to work through the blocks to get the strong start you want. But there’s a good chance you’re spending more than you’re bringing in or that you are wasting energy on useless causes if that Ace of Pentacles is coming up reversed.

Ace of Pentacles in a Career Reading

See that giant hand on the card? When the Ace of Pentacles shows up in a career reading, that hand represents opportunity knocking. The next big thing for you career-wise is just around the corner. And you can expect some solid cheddar to come with that opportunity. This is most def a card you want to see if you are actively job hunting. It can indicate a successful interview with an offer soon to follow. Take a look at the surrounding cards for more details about the position, but things are off to a good start.

Are you happy at your job but wondering about your chances of getting a raise? Girl, it is time to take that shot! The energy from The Ace of Pentacles is working with you to open the door to a raise or promotion. Things also look good if you were asking about the success of a project, especially if some sort of financial aspect is involved. It’s important to look at the surrounding cards to see what can help you seal the deal, but don’t sleep on doing your part in turning this opportunity into something bigger for you.

Did the Ace of Pentacles come up reversed for you in a career reading? You can see the opportunity shining off in the distance, but there will be obstacles between you and it. The surrounding cards will clue you in on how easy (or—gulp—hard) those obstacles will be to overcome. It’s up to you to decide how bad you want it and how hard you are willing to work to get a hold of this opportunity. Just remember, all Aces are about the beginning of a journey. So even if you work hard enough to get to the Ace of Pentacle’s energy, there’s more sweat that will need to come afterward to get the full benefits.
