Minor Arcana · Pentacles
Ace of Pentacles
The seed
Upright meaning
A concrete opportunity in money, work or health. A good seed — but it only grows if you plant it.
Reversed meaning
An opportunity missed, or financial plans with no grounding.
What is in the picture
A hand comes out of a cloud holding a large gold pentacle on an open palm, not gripped. Below is a garden of white lilies and a hedge with an archway cut through it, leading to distant mountains. The opportunity here is concrete — countable, touchable — but you have to walk through that arch yourself to reach the mountains.
Love
A relationship with a solid practical foundation.
Career
A new job, contract, or income stream.
About this suit
