ACE OF PENTACLES
The World in a Grain of Sand -- A windfall of money. An opportunity bearing fruit appears. A new idea leading through a gate of possibility. What you need shows up. You see the forest for the trees. An appreciation of nature. Dynamically living inside the body.
SHADOW: The refusal to allow something natural and new to emerge. Refusing to take the gifts that are offered to you. Ignoring important signs and omens. Taking what you have for granted. Expecting more without appreciating what you have because nothing fills the dark hole within that you refuse to acknowledge. Peace comes from the inside out and not the outside in.
ACE OF PENTACLES
Tarot suits are an unfolding story progressing from the ace to the ten. Tarot aces sparkle with unique magic. Aces are the seed of their suit. The infinite possibilities of each suit exist inside the ace just as everything you are, were, and will be is tucked inside of you. Understanding how the ace is a seed, like a flower, fruit, or vegetable seed, will help you interpret the ace when it appears in a reading. It is true beginning.
The Ace of Pentacles is the gift of the world of pentacles. A mysterious hand appears through the clouds of possibility holding a pentacle. Tendrils of growth extend through the hand. Clouds appear on every ace because they are the threshold and entry point to reality. What was hidden is now visible. What was unseen is now seen. Aces reflect the gateway of manifestation. First there is nothing. Then there is something. Aces reflect the beginning, the start. It is the birth of their suit.
A bewitched hand holdsa pentacle. The hand is the symbol of human ingenuity and potential. Hands suggest invention, creative ability, and expression. Hands can be used lovingly to comfort another or oneself. Palms and fingers caress and nurture. Alternatively, hands can be used for violence, in anger, or even to kill. Hands remind us of how we "handle" things in life. They are used for communication via sign language. Hindu and Buddhist traditions make use of mudras, hand gestures creating a specific energetic flow in the body. Interior thoughts move through our fingers when drawing, texting, and writing.
The pentacle suggests evolution that is to come. A path leads from the heart of the garden through an arched gate. The path suggests the road we travel. The enclosed garden suggests a barrier that encloses and protects but also can become a hiding place. The doorway is the threshold of change and adventure. The open door reminds you of current opportunities.
Fall pumpkins are neatly gathered beneath the tree. White flowers suggest the purity of the soul and innocence thriving within you. A mountain rises toward celestial realms far in the distance. How high do you want to go? What are you willing to risk? The Ace of Pentacles is a gift. Magic is at hand, but what will you do?
The Ace of Pentacles holds all possibilities inside the material world. It is the gift of people, places, and things-a gift that you can see, smell, taste, and touch. The Ace of Pentacles is a windfall of money, a new friend walking into your life, and an opportunity.
