Ace of Pentacles

You are a single point of light in the darkness of the hours before dawn, a fluorescent fish in a dead ocean. The Aces bring the energy of the Magician, an initiator of consequences. Through your independence and initiative events move forward.

Without a map, direction is worthless; look to the cards for direction.

Upright

• Wealth
• Material gifts
• Productivity

Prosperity yawns, its final form undecided. A career development or a new professional engagement may deliver great financial reward, or perhaps a game of chance will deliver resources you deplete with great speed.

You would do well to remember that not all prosperity is bound to money; pleasure gained from physical activity may lead to productivity that has its own rewards.

Whichever gifts the universe may bestow upon you, you are entering a time of contentment and peace.

Inverted

• Deficit
• Financial problems
• Greed

Sudden wealth is the scent of the gentian on the breeze after rain, a fragile security that leaves you not long after it arrives. You may have overestimated your abilities in order to secure rewards, or perhaps you find a new position brings only unhappiness.

Be wary of the urge to acquire material things, for it will not bring fulfilment, and may lead to embezzlement and corruption. Look to the surrounding cards for answers.
