Aces - Beginnings
Aces are firsts and are considered to have great power. Without firsts, there would be no continuing relationships, no accomplishments, and no endings.
Ace of Wands - New Enterprises and Fresh Ideas
A powerful creative force is manifest in this card, signaling fresh starts and new ideas. Energy and effort devoted to launching new projects and creating new avenues of personal expression will be successful.
The card reversed indicates setbacks in making headway on new plans. A lack of determination in organization, funds, or human resources may slow or stop the new project altogether. Check the surrounding cards to look for the nature of the blockage.
Ace of Cups - New Love and Happiness
Good feelings abound in the Ace of Cups, showing an event that brings goodwill, good feelings, and peace of mind. The potent emotional energy described by this card can also signal spiritual awakenings and growth. This is the full cup and the full measure of human happiness.
Reversed, the cup drains good feelings and shows emotional complications and overwhelming feelings. Look for a card that signifies the end of a romance or difficulties in giving and receiving love with grace and openness.
Ace of Swords - New Insights and Resolve to Act
The Ace of Swords describes decisive action backed by firm resolve and will. There is a determination to stand up for oneself and righteously defend one’s own truth. Here, one backs their action with a strong conviction of belief.
The card reversed shows confusion through agitated and angry feelings. There may be difficulty concentrating on new thought processes and a problem in finding the underlying cause because of someone’s inflexibility and belligerence.
Ace of Pentacles - New Material Awareness
The Ace of Pentacles signifies the arrival of funds such as a gift, an inheritance, or a windfall of some kind. The money is saved or spent wisely, perhaps on a venture or to purchase a new home, depending on the adjoining cards.
The reversed card speaks of a complication with the arrival of new money. Perhaps the money that was expected did not arrive, was a disappointing amount, or had been spent unwisely if shown in the adjacent cards. It can indicate miserliness, a state of being alone and without human compassion.
