REVERSED ACE OF PENTACLES
When the Ace of Pentacles Tarot card presents itself inverted in a Tarot reading, it is to remind us that divine gifts are given unconditionally.
The challenge is to use them wisely. When reversed, the Ace of Pentacles Tarot card points out an imbalance in the way you are using your resources. Note that when the card is reversed, the pentagram is also inverted. When it is upright, the Four Elements – Earth, Water, Fire and Air – are governed by Spirit, the divine intelligence. However, when inverted, the other elements overrule its benevolent guidance. The reversed Ace of Pentacles can indicate that you are worrying too much about money. Yes, we all need to pay attention to our finances, but to be overly concerned can steal our capacity for happiness in the present moment. Count your blessings. Do what you can and leave the rest to the universe. General: The time may be approaching that will call you to go out into the world in a different and bigger way to make a living. Don't avoid this, just do it. You will do fine. Don't let yourself get mired in jealousy about other people's finances. Work: When you draw the reversed Ace of Pentacles, you may need to consider asking for more responsibility at work or a promotion. If you're thinking about leaving your current position, this card tells you that leaving is likely to be a very good thing. All in all, the reversed Ace says good things are (or will soon be) happening on the work front. Love: The reversed Ace carries a warning to look out for possible issues of greed and jealousy if you are currently in a committed relationship. Don't compare yourselves to each other, be a team. If you are looking for love, this is a clear signal that the time may be drawing near that you could meet someone wonderful, either through your work or theirs. Be friendly and get out and mingle. |
Finances: When the reversed Ace of Pentacles appears, it's important that you don't allow yourself to think too negatively about money. Yes, other people have more, but your finances are generally stable and are going to stay stable when this card appears. Think positively and make the best of what you have.
Health: You don't have to spend a fortune to get and stay healthy. Simple things help support your health and many things are under your direct control, such as thinking positively, eating well, resting, getting exercise and so on.
