This card marks a favorable development of events, success and good luck in business. The Minor Arcana Tarot card Ace of Pentacles (Coins, Denariev) indicates the beginning of new achievements, the emergence of vital energy, the setting of priorities, and the acquisition of some material goods. In this article we will look at the description and meaning in relationships of an upright and inverted card, interpretation and combination with other cards in layouts for love, health, career and work.
The Ace of Pentacles is considered one of the best cards in the deck because it foretells material well-being.
Description of the map
The Ace of Pentacles is a strong esoteric card, despite its materialism. The card depicts a Gate, but such an image does not appear on any other Aces. Finishing the series of these cards, the Ace of Pentacles shows the way to another world, it is he who separates the two worlds.
The map shows a fenced green garden with a path that runs away to a flower arch, behind which mountain peaks can be seen. The oval arch in the picture looks more like the wreath surrounding the World in the last Major Arcana.
Some authors say that the mountain peaks, amidst earthly possessions and comforts, lead us to the harsh joys of the Spirit. This path is inevitable for a person, so a path meanders through the garden. The Ace of Pentacles explains that all earthly goods are spiritual. It is necessary to accept everything that the world gives. A person needs to immerse himself in this life and learn its secrets.
After all, life is full of interesting things and does not require any special magical skills, it is magic itself. Everything secret becomes obvious and vice versa. A person needs to learn to treat the body as a temple of the soul, to see sacred actions in the most ordinary things, to feel physical happiness.
Love and relationships
The minor arcan Ace of Pentacles of the Tarot deck predicts good things in relationships, regardless of position:
- An offer of marriage;
- finding true love;
- happiness in love;
- renewed feelings in a couple.
For newlyweds, the interpretation predicts the birth of a child, and for a large family it can become a sign of unity. For women, Ace is a card of long-awaited pregnancy, and for men, it is a chance to find a reliable rear.

On a deeper level
Ace of Pentacles, the meaning of the card is not only material wealth. It combines material and spiritual well-being and contains valuable awareness. May mean the perception and absorption of earthly life. Tuz Denariev teaches that well-being should be a natural state of a person; it does not interfere with him, but helps him express his spiritual and creative abilities.
Therefore, it is important to remain open to any forms that enrich life. Most people live in constant limitation, lack of something, insufficiency of some things. People get so used to such a shortage that it is transferred not only to material things, but also to their own condition, loss of strength, lack of time, lack of successful relationships. A person stops noticing that he is constantly “hungry”. This hunger has long become commonplace, and the Ace of Pentacles challenges such circumstances.
A person, receiving benefits and values, at first gets scared and doesn’t even know how to manage them, as if everything that is given will not fit into his life now. An understanding comes that a person is not always open to all benefits, and is not ready to live such a life.
The Ace of Pentacles teaches: it’s not you who lacks something – it’s you yourself who lacks something to properly manage it. That is why you have everything that life gives, something that is enough for you.
According to many astrologers, this card combines the features of Capricorn and Cancer (from peak to valley). Capricorn is more in line with the spirit of Pentacles, and is associated with the Midheaven (tenth House), which denotes searching and dissatisfaction with the present. Therefore, this card can create various situations: professional excellence, career, separation from roots, breaking with loved ones for the sake of development and self-realization.
Scope of work
Of course, such a material card as the Ace of Cups (Ace of Pentacles) can tell a lot about a person’s career, about his future in any profession. In the upright position, it indicates great successes and the implementation of all plans. If the Ace of Pentacles falls in the scenario for work and business, then this means that a person in this area will expect a high income. For creative professions, the card can mean a rise in energy, fame, respect. In an inverted position, Ace indicates the need to reassess strength and energy expenditure. Perhaps you are too busy with work, it's time to distract yourself and take a break.

For love and relationships
Ace of Pentacles Tarot meaning in relationships promises a person a sharp turn of events for the better. New or another honeymoon. Strong and reliable relationships that have the potential for a further future.
But many authors say that this card has nothing to do with love, this is done by Cups and Swords. Indeed, the Ace of Coins can indicate a relationship of convenience or an alliance convenient for both partners. But all Aces have powerful energy for personal relationships, but they emphasize it in different areas.
The Ace of Pentacles has the same good effect on relationships as the Ace of Cups, only here there is more physical attraction, passion, and possession. He inclines two hearts to joy in extremely simple ways. According to this card, there are only earthly pleasures in love; this is the basis for a long and reliable relationship.
The card is of a sexual nature; it shows a special attitude towards carnal love, directing partners to search for new opportunities and discoveries for mutual satisfaction. This happens because this card trusts the body more and teaches a person to treat it passionately, respectfully, and without embarrassment. Wealth of sexual experience, ability to bear children, fertility.
Interest in a partner, excellent mutual understanding, concern for building a favorable and harmonious relationship. The foundation for them is physical satisfaction and attraction, as well as material interests. Often, relationships also involve mercantile calculations; this can even apply to everyday issues.
For health status
Strong physical strength, excellent immunity, flourishing state, integrity of body and spirit, absolute harmony with oneself. A reversed card sometimes signifies the need for preventative action to strengthen the physical body. Initially, a person cares more about physical fitness and pays enough attention to it.
Ace of Denarii and other minor arcana cards
As a rule, in any scenario, in the upright position, the Ace means luck and success, therefore, in combination with the minor arcana - Swords, Staves, Cups - it only improves their meaning. Let's look at a few examples with each suit.
- If the Seven of Wands and Ace of Pentacles Tarot cards appear in the layout, then fortune telling foreshadows a transitional stage, many changes, but all of them, one way or another, for the better.
- The Two of Cups and the Ace of Coins symbolizes love in all its forms; it can mean an imminent wedding or the birth of a long-awaited first child.
- The Three of Swords and the Ace of Denarii show that the period of adversity and trials that has come is the result of large expenses and frivolity. You need to gather your strength, change your strategy, and then luck will be on your side again.
Ace of Pentacles advice
If everything is going well in your life, then you need to use the gifts of Fortune. Focus on stabilization, gaining valuable life experience, enriching your life, and gaining positive emotions. You should bring prosperity, beauty, strength into your life and perceive any situation realistically.
But you can’t just accumulate wealth all your life and make this the meaning of life, greed is a vice. A person needs excessive greed, obtaining material well-being at any cost, and a materialistic view of the future only in order not to remember spiritual insecurity and vulnerability.
Reversed Ace of Denarii
In a recently started project, problems are possible; the desired results are not as real as it initially seemed. A person may receive less than expected income or their wages will be delayed. The individual has the impression that all circumstances are working against him, as difficulties arise with health, work and budget.
Problems can start due to greed and materialism, as well as hasty decision-making. The feeling of fatigue and an increase in a cynical attitude towards what is happening interferes with self-realization.
Combined with other cards
The Ace of Pentacles reversed signifies misuse of power and property, waste of money, financial loss. Gluttony, excessive spending, neurotic shopaholism, new things become a must-have purchase. But if an inverted card appears in the layout, then a person should save money at the moment rather than spend it.
It may mean the loss of a patron, a source of income. Greed, commercialism, and clinging to money appear. The reversed card shows that wealth does not change a person for the better. It may mean delays, deferred payments, encounters with counterfeit bills, counterfeits, illegal wages.
Useless waste of money. For example, a bribe that did not bring success in business, in the end the problem was not solved. The inverted Ace of Pentacles should be interpreted as a loss of money, lack of profit. Although this is not bankruptcy yet, if nothing is done, then it is not far from it.
But some authors argue that even in its inverted form, the Ace of Pentacles does not lose the meaning of wealth, luxury, capital, treasures, and prosperity. Perhaps this is a success that did not come so easily. Remembering how much effort and money was spent on implementing the efforts changes a person’s mood. Sometimes there can be prosperity and wealth without happiness, an insufficiently strong position in society.
Interpretation of the inverted position
Reversed keys: restless moods, vanity, greed, exhaustion, obsession with money and profit, envious moods, fear of losses, possible ruin. There may be monetary losses for which you will be to blame. Unreasonable actions, the other side of money. Prosperity does not bring pleasure from life and joy to its owner.
You may have reached a stable situation or have already reached such a position, but you do not feel it due to the unnecessary pursuit of a big jackpot. This way you don’t calm down and drive fortune away from you. You don’t know how to be content with little and what you achieved earlier, you crave more, chase after it, in the end you will lose what was achieved earlier and you won’t understand why you were chasing.
The desire to have more wealth drains your moral, spiritual, mental and physical strength. Against this background, negative and destructive emotions are born. You become envious, jealous, arrogant, harsh with others, distrustful, and afraid of losing everything. At such a moment, you may not realize that you may have already lost something.
This includes the saying: “Money doesn’t buy happiness.” And in fact, financial wealth will not bring joy, only disappointment, because you do not know how to appreciate what you have.
Advice: reconsider your attitude towards money and then, most likely, the Ace of Pentacles will turn favorably towards you.
