Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot- Ace of Pentacles

The Aces of all Tarot Suits are under the influence of Kether, the first Sephiroth on the Tree of Life (Hebrew God Name-Eheieh: meaning "I Will Be"), whose color is white and is symbolized as the Point, The Crown, and the Swastika. If you have been following the blogs, you know the Point is to imply completeness unto itself, without dimension or external definition.

The Rider-Waite-Smith- Ace of Pentacles, is the equivalent to a seed. Again, Waite chose a more prosaic meaning for his card. Therefore, an Angelic hand supports the Pentacle symbol of earth and the ascended man (pentacle). In the background a rose covered arbor is displayed.

The Rose is the symbol of the female aspect of fertile energy and the arbor is a symbol for the Womb that is penetrated by the phallic path or the Masculine aspect of the Divine Creative. The Lilies in the foreground also represent the Female Divine Creative and the fecund power of renewal, resurrection, and growth. All this hints at the power that begins creation. Hence, the fruitful garden on this card.

The rose and lily garden are shown on this Rider-Waite-Smith card. The white lilies symbolize purity, and the Rose Arbor represents love. The world of possibilities is wide open to you now and becomes a promise if you engage it. So do something, take a hike, go on a bike ride, enter a spa, start a new hobby, etc. Hence, live your life and let the good things come to you

.

The Tarot of Sacred Kingdoms-Ace of Pentacles focuses on prosperity and abundance as gold coins fall from the sky. Here is a card that represents a wonderful windfall of unexpected resources that arrive to help you pursue your dreams. Everything you want in the world is in the palm of your hands waiting for you to see it, find it, and/or receive it.

Here also is the seed of growth waiting for you to plant it and nourish its fertile growth. This is a good time to focus on finances and career and take the actions that are necessary.

The Earth/Erda/Gaea governs the body and our knowledge of it and the instincts and sensations which this knowledge brings about. She'll often visit the seeker, as an animal guide (the Homo Sapiens-Sapiens is also an animal) for her senses are those of manifested beings of her organic material. She also controls the loving relationship with this body, something that our Spirit must learn, as we the celestials have been granted by Earth, the freedom to control its microcosm with the macrocosmic Wisdom of our Solar/Soul inheritance.

We come from stars, and must join the Stellar Intelligence, with that of Earth. "As above, so below". We didn't come here to "ascend"; we are the "descended" masters of the Trinity of Mind who must master form as well and thereby, ground our stellar energy frequencies with earth. From the 4 worlds we have progressed to get here. Once again, sometimes going down is up. Yod Heh Vau Heh.

The Astrological meaning of the earth element implies imaginative and productive states of consciousness.

In Tarot, the Aces represent the number 1. In both numerology and gematria, the number 1 holds significant spiritual and symbolic importance. Here's an exploration of its characteristics in both systems:

Numerology of 1

In numerology, the number 1 is often associated with qualities of leadership, creation, and individuality. It's the starting point, representing the potential for new beginnings and self-assertion.

• Leadership: The number 1 is the number of pioneers, initiators, and those who blaze new trails. It is connected to independence and personal authority.
• Creation and Beginnings: In the same way that the Ace in the Tarot represents the seed of an element, numerologically, 1 symbolizes the beginning of new endeavors, projects, or phases in life.
• Self-Sufficiency: People associated with the number 1 are often self-reliant, confident, and focused on their personal goals.
• Assertiveness: The number 1 is a powerful force of will, embodying ambition, drive, and the courage to take action.

Gematria of 1

In Western Hermetic Qabalistic gematria, the number 1 is associated with Aleph (א), the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Aleph is deeply mystical, connecting to concepts of unity, divinity, and the singularity of creation. Here are its key attributes:

• Unity and Oneness: Aleph represents the principle of divine unity. It is often interpreted as the One God in monotheistic traditions, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all things.
• Creative Force: Aleph, being silent yet fundamental in Hebrew, signifies the primordial silence before creation. It holds the potential for manifesting all that is. In this sense, Aleph is a symbol of the root of all things, corresponding to the raw power of creation.
• Crown of Kether: In the Qabalistic Tree of Life, the number 1 is associated with Kether, the first sephirah, representing pure, unmanifested potential and divine will. It is beyond form, the source of all emanation, from which the rest of creation flows.
• Masculine Principle: In both gematria and numerology, the number 1 often corresponds to the masculine, active principle in the universe, as it represents initiation and projection into the world.

Relationship to the Aces in Tarot

In Tarot, the Aces are aligned with the number 1 and symbolize the raw essence of the suit (Wands, Cups, Swords, Pentacles), each representing its element in its purest form. This reflects the qualities of both numerology and gematria associated with the number 1:

• The Ace of Wands (Fire) symbolizes the potential for action and inspiration.
• The Ace of Cups (Water) embodies emotional beginnings and the flow of divine love.
• The Ace of Swords (Air) represents intellectual clarity and the cutting edge of truth.
• The Ace of Pentacles (Earth) signifies material opportunities and the seed of prosperity.

Each Ace, like the number 1, is a gateway to a larger cycle, holding the seed of the potential for growth and manifestation.

WHEN THE ACE OF PENTACLES IS THROWN DURING A DIVINATION:

It implies:

• Union between the physical and spiritual aspects of the querent.
• Beginning a new pathway in life that will bring satisfaction.
• A new planting of seeds, for a new home, job, career, or some form of security.
• Materialization of ideas brings stability to skills that produce results.
• Could also be a time of meditation, an inward pulling of energy.
• Good beginnings for financial wealth, material gain and worldly status.
• The beginning of any new material form
• A most auspicious card showing the bringing together of internal and external talents and resources. Even if ill dignified it shows a sharing of treasure.
• Also, the Card of a Shaman, or one who is practiced in the arts of Earth Magic (k).

If reversed, it implies:

• Materialism.
• Stinginess.
• The vile side of affluence.
