Grounding Essence

The Ace of Pentacles is grounding. What I mean by that is that if you break it down into its parts, you have everything you need to stand on your own two feet. The Ace is the essence of pentacles—earth. The pentacle is a magical symbol that holds within it all other elements. The five points of the pentacles are for earth, air, fire, water, and spirit. The first pentacle was likely an outstretched hand—five fingers, five points to our star. Things are coming together. As a magical tool, the pentacle is the shield, which protects the practitioner from harm.

Path to Prosperity

Look at the mountains in the background, the wide path, and the lush garden. The card is telling you that you’re on the way to prosperity. Just keep walking toward the gate.

Center and Abundance

I always imagine the Ace of Pentacles being under the client’s feet. The pentacles are perfectly aligned with the earth and are stable and still. They’re able to connect to people and make calm decisions. They’re more financially secure than they may have ever been in the past. Standing on the center of a pentacle, grounded and one with the earth, welcoming prosperity and growth. This is the essence of the suit of pentacles. Grounded. Centered. Balanced. This card is about wealth and prosperity but also about pulling that energy into you from the earth. This card is abundance, blessings, and luck. All good things.

Inverted Meaning

If you use your imagination when you invert the Ace of Pentacles card, the money or security will literally fall out of the hand. It’s resting lightly in the palm when it’s right side up—no stress, no worry—but if it’s upside down, everything falls away. How do you feel when money falls away from you? When you lose security or connections with loved ones? When you lose ground? This is the feeling that comes with the inverted Ace of Pentacles. Anxiety and stress.
