Ace of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning
What Ace of Pentacles means upright and reversed, with readings for love, money and career.
The picture and its symbols
Ace of Pentacles shows a hand from a cloud holding a large coin above a garden with an open gate. It belongs to the suit of Pentacles, the element of earth (money, work, the body and practical matters), and its rank carries the theme of beginnings and seeds (Ace). A real opportunity you can hold. It is still a seed that needs planting and tending, and the gate out of the garden has to be walked through.
