Ace of Pentacles
Upright
A new financial or career opportunity, manifestation, abundance
The Ace of Pentacles signifies starts, possibilities, and potential like the other Aces of the Tarot – and as a Pentacles card, these beginnings relate to the material realm: investments, money, profession and bodily health. You may get a new job request, a surprising amount of money, a new business occasion. No matter the circumstance, the Ace of Pentacles announces a feeling of success and wealth in the material spheres of your life. It surely comes as a welcome message. As with all Aces, this card represents the possibility of a new attempt but does not guarantee its completion because it will be up to you.
The Ace of Pentacles indicates the first steps of manifesting your purposes and ensures that you can accomplish what you have set your mind to do. This card urges you to map out how you will reach your goals, build plans and get those efforts started.
The Ace of Pentacles also signifies abundance, not just for your bank account but in every way. You may explore chances to generate a new source of revenue or you may have a fortune to produce wealth in a wider sense – joy, satisfaction, and love.
Reversed
Lost opportunity, lack of planning and foresight
When the reversed Ace of Pentacles arrives in a reading, you may feel reluctant about moving ahead with an opportunity, especially one that relates to your career or investments. You may be wondering whether you have what it takes to review it through. Don’t move ahead until you’re ready. Evaluate the probability of your plan and its potential consequences.
The reversed Ace of Pentacles may also be a signal that a business opportunity could drop unexpectedly.
Moreover, the reversed Ace of Pentacles suggests you be very cautious with your expenses. When the card is reversed, the coin seems as it’s about to drop out of the hand. Be practical in case you are without a job or have a big and unforeseen financial expense.
Sometimes, the reversed Ace of Pentacles suggests that you are working on your goals but keep falling into setbacks and other obstacles. If you’re having restricted success, then you may need to review your aimed approach.
Six of Cups
Upright
Revisiting the past, childhood memories, innocence, joy
The Six of Cups is a card that brings you back to past memories. You may just be visiting those memories in your mind. You could go to a high school gathering or reconnect with an old friend. A past lover may show up again. Take this opportunity to see whether you still have a lot in general and if you wish to maintain the relationship again.
The Six of Cups card often signifies an enhanced level of balance and harmony in your connections. You are ready to share, without expectation.
The Six of Cups asks you to connect with your inner child, experience again their fun and innocence. When you give yourself permission to be playful and spontaneous, you relate more with your true self and your inner voice.
The Six of Cups can also refer to children, suggest a pregnancy (it could be twins), birth and siblings. It may also be a clue that you are about to spend more time with junior children.
In a love reading, the Six of Cups card could also refer to a past-life relationship. Your partner could be someone, you know from your previous lives. I some cases, this card could also refer to a third-party relationship situation.
Reversed
Living in the past, forgiveness, lacking playfulness
When the reversed Six of Cups appears in a reading, question whether you’re clinging to the past and missing your present. Nostalgia may bring up positive or negative emotions, but either way, when you are not living in the now, you miss out on the possibilities right in front of you. It’s OK to entertain a little in remembering about the past, as long as you know that true transformation can only happen in the present moment.
The reversed Six of Cups may also be a symbol you have lost connection with your inner child, so your life has become dull. You might be closed off from new possibilities from the Universe because you are taking on too much of the burden and weight. Open yourself to an inquisitive mind as though you were a child again.
The reversed Six of Cups might be a hint that you are taking a private walk at memory road. You may be hesitant to let other people know that you are visiting these old memories, being afraid that they will judge you.
Four of Pentacles
Upright
Saving money, security, conservatism, scarcity, control
The Four of Pentacles invites you to examine your connection with money. Are you saving money wisely while still enjoying your daily life? Or are you hopelessly sticking to every coin, scared to spend your money for fear that you do no could lose it forever?
In its most positive outlook, the Four of Pentacles implies that you have created abundance by maintaining a constant focus on your aims and working conservatively. You are mindful of your financial security, saving money and following your payments.
However, the Four of Pentacles typically characterize an insufficiency mindset, particularly with material properties. You are choosing to stock your investments, for worry you might miss it all. Money works best when it can transfer and exchange, not when it is being stockpiled. Try to find a healthy equilibrium between spending and saving, so you can experience the outcomes of your work but also save up.
The Four of Pentacles can also imply that you are putting too much value on material dependencies. You may be connected to physical things, allowing properties to become an important part of your life.
Beyond money and abundance, the Four of Pentacles appears when you are searching for more power in your life. You may be overly defensive so no one else threatens your relationship. On a private level, you may have a rigid approach and oppose change. Any idea of doing things creatively is, therefore, going to be met with opposition. So, staying in a comfort zone may be the way to go rather than taking any dangers at this point.
Reversed
Over-spending, greed, self-protection
The reversed Four of Pentacles can show up when you are estimating what’s essential to you, particularly when it comes to money and property. You may have placed too much importance on physical possessions and have now come to the understanding that they won’t make you fortunate. As a result, you may be releasing your hold on the need to surround yourself with ‘stuff’, and will be searching out more love and joy in your life.
The reversed Four of Pentacles can symbolize that money is slipping out of your hands and your spending amounts pass your saving habits.
Sometimes, the reversed Four of Pentacles can imply that you developed a greedy approach to money. You want more and more continuously. Look at the overall comparison of the cost versus profit, and evaluate whether your search for ‘more’ is actually bringing you the peace that you most crave.
Finally, the Four of Pentacles can appear in a Tarot reading when you are in a very protective mood. You seek safety, endurance and you are doing everything within your authority to create a solid environment for yourself.
