Ace of Pentacles Tarot card description
Each Tarot deck has its own take on the Ace of Pentacles card, but most are inspired by the classic Rider-Waite Tarot.
The hand
Much like in the other three Aces, The Ace of Pentacles features a shimmering white hand appearing from between soft white clouds. This is the hand of God or divinity, offering its guidance and blessings.
The hand of divinity is a reminder that abundance is god-given and natural, an aspect of life to be mastered and enjoyed.
The pentacle
The hand of divinity presents a large golden pentacle- you are being offered a wonderful gift of opportunity to do with the material realm. What will you do with it?
You may not have great material wealth, or even stability, in your life at this particular time. But you have seeds of potential, experience or knowledge that may turn into great wealth over time.
The landscape
The landscape in the foreground of the Ace of Pentacles Tarot card is lush yet well-manicured. A garden path leads through a gate in the shielding hedge, and onwards into the wild unknown.
The mountains
In the far distance of the Ace of Pentacles Tarot card we see the mountain ridge, familiar to anyone familiar with the Rider-Waite Tarot or any of its many clones.
The mountain peaks represent spiritual aspiration, and their presence in this earthbound Ace reminds us that resources can help facilitate our spiritual goals by providing us with a baseline of security while we work on ourselves and explore our potential.
In spiritual circles there are those who believe that materialism is inherently unspiritual. This is not so. Although there are certainly those who become blinded by their hunger for wealth, the earthly realm underpins the spiritual. Being financially comfortable frees us up to focus on life’s more ethereal side.
Ace of Pentacles Tarot card meanings
Like all Tarot cards, the Ace of Pentacles encompasses a range of meaning. Which specific ones comes to the forefront in a specific reading depends on the Tarot reader, the subject of the reading, and the context provided by surrounding cards. Irrespective of these things, here are some of the most typical Ace of Pentacles Tarot card meanings.
Stability, foundation
The Ace of Pentacles suggests a solid base and a sense of footing in the material world. This is a wonderful starting point, no matter what your greater ambition in life.
When you are coming from a place of stability, harmony and strength, you have the extra energy needed to manifest your wilder dreams and grander schemes. When we are secure financially and otherwise, we have the excess energy and confidence to aim higher.
A new business venture or financial opportunity
The upright Ace of Pentacles Tarot card very often hints at at new venture, a new job or a pay raise. Either way, new doors or avenues of financial gain and bounty are coming your way.
A solid plan for the future
When the Ace of Pentacles appears in a Tarot reading, it is a sign that you are on the right track. You have a solid plan and it is taking you in the right direction.
You want more than living month to month and pay check to pay check; you want to build something, create something for yourself. You are viewing your life and your financial future form an eagle’s eye perspective, making wise and balanced decisions.
Manifestation
The Ace of Pentacles offers you a seed of potential. Perhaps you are already seeing the first tangible signs of success.
The Pentacle is a tangible symbol of wealth and abundance – a promising sign, no matter what it is you are working at manifesting.
Reversed Ace of Pentacles Tarot card meanings
When the Ace of Pentacles shows up reversed in a Tarot reading, its significance becomes inverted and the stability it offers implodes. Like the upright Ace of Pentacles, the reversed card has more than one possible interpretation. Here are some of the most likely reversed Ace of Pentacles Tarot card meanings.
Material instability
Where the upright Ace of Pentacles is a sign of stability and financial wellbeing, the Ace of Pentacles reversed points to financial imbalance. You may find yourself struggling to find a job or get your business off the ground. The imbalance could also be due to overspending and living beyond your means.
The reversed Ace of Pentacles can be a wakeup call, telling you to take control of your finances. If you work hard and focus, you will be able to reverse course much faster than you imagine.
A missed opportunity
The Ace of Pentacles reversed hints at a missed or squandered opportunity. The hand of divinity has reached out and placed a golden opportunity right in front of you, but you have either fumbled the ball, failed to recognise the opportunity you have been offered, or doubted your own worthiness and rejected the gift as a result.
There is no use crying over spilled milk. Own your mistake, absorb its lesson, and move on. The next time a wonderful opportunity falls into your lap, grasp it with everything you’ve got.
Lack of foresight and planning
The reversed Ace of Pentacles often means bad or sloppy planning and a lack of foresight. You may be living only in the moment, neglecting to think about what lies ahead. The famous saying comes to mind: Failing to plan is planning to fail.
The upside-down Ace of Pentacles nudges you to start planning, and planning well. You deserve a golden future. The catch is that you have got to build it yourself.

You are coming from a place of stability and independence; in other words, you are in the best possible position to enter into a new relationship, or to build on an existing one.
Reversed
A lack of stability characterises this union. You might be leaning on your partner financially, or they may be overly dependent on you.
