The Ace of Pentacles.

Card of The Day: The Ace of Pentacles.

      Pentacles is the suit of the material world. We associate this with monetary wealth, or personal possessions. It's also about interactions with this world.
      Just because you don't have as much money or possessions,does not mean you are not wealthy. I have come across many people who are not rich, but attract many gifted and talented people to them. Their wealth of good cheer and numerous friends far exceeds those with much larger bank accounts.
      Many of the pictures that represent wealth depict people enjoying food and drink with friends in a beautiful landscapes. They are not driving fast cars on highways flaunting their money.
     Wealth is about feeling safe and sharing your abundance. If what you have does not give you joy, then you are not truly one with the Ace of Pentacles.
     This brings up the bad side of the Pentacles suit. Hoarding and vault building. Many of us have bought into the idea that the more you have, the happier you will be. Amassing money becomes a never ending activity. You don't feel safe until you have a large number of zeros behind your balance sheets. After you've amassed your fortune, you must build castles to protect your hard earned cash. It's a lonely place in the castle tower.
    If your friends and family are your resources, check your balance. If you can make a few phone calls, and an hour later, fill your house for a pot luck. You are the Ace of Pentacles.
