3 Card Tarot Reading

The Ace of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

The Ace of Pentacles is filled with grounding and solid energy.

Around the Ace of any card is the unadulterated source of the power of the suit. With the pentacles, the energy is that of the earth and grounded energy. It can indicate that you are in an area in your life right now that you need a grounding focus in your life. With the card in your reading, you can be sure that there are creative energies around you that will aid you with material or earthly gains. The Pentacles is a great card regarding issues such as health and finances usually but can indicate troubles in other areas. Because the energy is quite strong with the Ace card, it can be a time of intense energies that are hard to manage or focus on.

Humans are innately tied to the Earth as we live within it, walk upon it, take our food and water from it, and depend on it for sustenance. Often it is something that is taken for granted and not reflected upon. Take a moment and see all of the ways in which the flows of the Earthly energies affect you. The times in which you feel grounded and those in which you are almost pulled down and sluggish even have a different relation to the Earth.

With the Ace of Pentacles card, the pentacle is being handed by an invisible hand. It’s almost as it is a reminder that this is a gift that is given to you and as one part of four Aces that make a whole. With the Ace of Pentacles, the gift is that of solid intelligence holding you firmly in place. It can be a strong motivator or a hindrance and you must pay special attention as to how you use the energy.

You must remember when seeing the Ace of anything in your reading that the energy is coming to you or around you in its pure form. As an intuitive and aware human being, it is up to you to be responsible for directing the energy accordingly. You can use the other cards in your reading to take a clue of what direction to use the energy with as well. For example, if you see multiple Ace cards in your readings, know that this is an important time for you in your life. The cards can also be compounded and in the case of the Ace of Pentacles, if you see a plethora of other pentacle cards then you will understand that the focus of your reading (and perhaps the focal points of issues in your life) is grounding and earthy issues.

A word of warning regarding this card is that there can be too much of a great thing. The steadfast footing that you are experiencing or have built-in aspects of your life can help to ensure a successful step towards your future but it can also plant you in place.

Too much Earthy energy can cause your life to become unbalanced. A person for example that is too entrenched in the earth (like when you have a lot of pentacles cards in your reading) can also indicate a person that is stuck in the mud. Earth can squelch out fiery motivation or passion and cause air and water energies to stagnate.  You must be careful to balance out the energies in your life and to not allow one area to overpower the other. You will know right away when the card comes up if this is an issue or a well-wishing for you in your reading and you must act on it accordingly.

The Ace of Pentacles is also a card of results. Often the Ace of Pentacles will come up in a reading when you need to be reminded of your own roots and to firmly plant yourself back on your path in order to see your result realized as you desire. Even though it is a beginning card in the story as all Aces are, it is also a good card to remind yourself what you are ultimately attaining. Like a house that is built out of design and action, the Ace of Pentacles tells you to focus on what you want the end result to be. It is the finished house made of all of the other elements. This may be a good time to set down a schedule, to keep you on track, and build the foundation as well. The beginning is the end is the beginning. You are building your path one brick at a time.

The Ace of Pentacles sort of sets the stage for the next act of your relationship and it is an excellent sign for moving forward.

In regards to new love, the Ace of Pentacles will indicate good tidings coming your way in love. Usually, it is indicative of a stable and grounding relationship headed your way, one in which you can build from as an addition rather than a distraction to your life. It may be a good time to focus on the workplace, as the relationship will usually stem from work, school, or some area of finance in some way.

It can also be a good time to consider finding a stable position within a job. The card doesn’t say to switch jobs, but it can tell you to take a new opportunity to arise.

The Ace Of Pentacles in the Reversed Position

Reversed Meaning - Ace of Pentacles

With the Ace of Pentacles shows that the energy of the Earth is around you, however, it is much more indicative of the negative aspects of the energy such as laziness, sluggishness, or a lack of motivation. When this card comes up in the reversed position it is a good sign that you need to work on balancing the energies in your life to bring out the good of the Ace of Pentacles. Consider ways in which you are being too stubborn or lacking flexibility and do your best to change them.

The Ace of Pentacles Reversed - Love and Romance

When it comes to love and romance, the Ace of Pentacles reversed can mean that your actions and decisions can do harm to your relationship. Often this serves as a warning to evaluate your actions by asking yourself, “Are you giving too much and not getting enough in return?” This could indicate an imbalance in your relationship, where one is always giving and the other is always taking; thereby creating insecurity and instability. It would be helpful if you figure out what things stand between you and your partner - greed, dishonesty, jealousy, self-centeredness. All these could be putting your relationship on shaky ground. 

If you are single, the Reversed Ace of Pentacles could be telling you to be careful not to miss out on opportunities to start a romantic relationship in the future. You might be holding back because of past heartbreaks and anxiety, making you feel vulnerable and afraid to open your heart to love again. 

If you are currently dating, the Ace of Pentacles reversed is a reminder to get to know the person better. Spend more time and give the budding relationship more attention in order for it to grow and progress.

The Ace of Pentacles Reversed - Family and Home

Having the Ace of Pentacles in the reversed position for family usually means that things in your life are not going as smoothly as should be. This card can mean several things in terms of family life. For married couples, it can mean that you may have spent so much time with your career that you don’t spend much time with your spouse anymore. 

Financial issues could also cause arguments and misunderstandings among family members. You may have focused too much on achieving financial stability that you have neglected your family.  In terms of family finance, the reversed Ace of Pentacles serves as a warning to be careful about your expenditures.

The Ace of Pentacles Reversed - Work and Finances

Although it does not certainly signify financial doom, the reversed Ace of Pentacles serves as a warning to take serious consideration before overspending or putting large sums of money in a risky investment. 

Your loans may be declined, investment returns may not be great, and financial losses may be at hand. Take heart, though. Although money is vital for survival, it is not everything. It will not help if you start comparing yourself to others, especially when it comes to material possessions and financial stability. This should be a time for you to start saving and planning for a better future. Don’t spend more than what you have; find ways to live within your means.

In terms of work, the Ace of Pentacles in the reversed position is not a very good sign of good luck. The pay rise, bonus, or promotion you may be expecting are very likely to fall through. It may also mean that you are about to lose a job, or may not get the job you have always wanted. It would not be wise to make any financial commitments amidst this uncertainty. 

The Ace of Pentacles Reversed - Health and Wellness

The reversed Ace of Pentacles can serve as a warning that you are not looking after your health very well. You could be overstressing yourself at work or are doing unhealthy habits that can yield negative consequences in the future. You may have started a healthy living plan, but failed to stick to the routine. Your health may be suffering and you are not doing anything to help yourself get back in your best shape. If you continue to neglect your wellbeing, you will constantly feel exhausted and run down. 

This could also signify that there might be setbacks in your recovery from a current illness. Overall, this card gives you precautions to give importance to your health - physically, mentally, and emotionally. Work on achieving the right balance, practice mindfulness, exercise, and eat the right diet. 

The Ace of Pentacles Reversed - Personal Spirituality

In the aspect of personal spirituality, The Ace of Pentacles in reversed position indicates that something is stopping you from achieving your goals. You may not feel confident enough to even try. However, you must not let your anxiety psyche you out before you have even made your first step. 

I’m afraid that negative thoughts are the main factors that stop you from attaining your dreams. In order to accomplish great things, you must conquer your own insecurities and believe in your personal worth. Believe that you are worthy of happiness, abundance, and stability. This card encourages you to try.

This card could also signify that you are not giving importance to your spiritual growth as much as you do for material things. You may be putting off your spirituality because you are too focused on acquiring wealth. Remember that these things are not the only source of happiness; real happiness springs from within you.

The Cups suit rules the emotions and so tells us about the ebb and flow of the emotional tides in our lives.

However, in this situation, you are represented by this card which is one of wholeness and solidarity. You are compassionate, mentally and emotionally stable, and happy.

You are depressed and unmotivated and there is a block in many key energy centers in the body.

Consider pursuing a good cleansing that will fine-tune and strengthen your chakras, particularly in the heart area as the Ace of Cups represents matters of the heart. You are also being weighed down in the genital and solar plexus areas. When you are not recognizing what life has to offer, because you have forgotten to practice gratitude, then you create a cycle in which you perpetuate unhappiness. Get yourself outside, get yourself active, clear up your chakras, and practice gratitude and you will find happiness.

Ace of Cups Reversed Love and Romance

The reversed Ace of Cups floats into your love reading when romance has become unsteady, you and your partner are rocking like a boat caught in a storm. The waters are choppy, feelings remain unexpressed and love is no longer reciprocated in equal harmony. In the distance, a past love lingers, distracting you from your course and making the storm all the more enduring and impossible to navigate. Your initial imaginings of romance were sweet and loving, like the loveliest dream, this contrast with reality leaves you feeling like your expectations are not being met.

Remember, people cannot completely change who they are but they may be able to change bad habits; that goes for both you, and your partner, you are fluid and ever-growing. If you are not in a relationship or have recently gone through a breakup, this card recommends time spent healing from the past, when your old wounds are sealed you will be strong enough to find a truly fulfilling relationship that won’t leave you with scars.

Ace of Cups reversed Family and Home

Take time away from domestic and family duties, and rediscover nature.

This will bring the pressure you’re experiencing down to a simmer, by focusing your attention on the beauty of the present moment, where all life flourishes and vibrates with deep spiritual wisdom. 

Practice familial honesty, let your loved ones know that you need their love and acceptance right now - and in the future, you are sure to return the gesture for them, too - but right now is a moment of personal survival, and your strength will be magnified by the haven of your home and unconditional love of your family members.

Your energy is sapped, and every day you awake with a feeling of flatness so that it feels like a heavyweight is pushing you back down. You may have lost the spring in your step, and, in some cases, could be dealing with the chronic exhaustion that’s making your world seem greyer than before.

 This reversed card tells you to build yourself back up with health practices. You must drink, once more, from the cup of prosperity - eat well and stay hydrated. 

If you are in a relationship, this card sometimes highlights problems with fertility and difficulties in conceiving which may also be impacting your peace of mind. Do not give up hope, instead, seek alternatives - speak to medical professionals and explore new paths. Sometimes our destination just takes a bit of re-routing before we can set a course.

Ace of Cups Reversed Personal Spirituality

Your spiritual journey has become stunted, you took a wrong turn and now it seems impossible to find the way back. Your sense of self has altered so that restoring balance seems an impossibility - your intuition has fled like a child, and though you hope to recapture it, you cannot summon the strength. 

Spiritual depression most commonly comes from distrust in the universe, but you must persevere and have faith; in a hurricane, standing still can be considered progress. Everyone suffers periods of difficulty and heartbreak, what will really make a mark on your life is whether you let these hard times define you or propel you forward.

There is strength in all emotions, even sadness, try and use that endurance to lift yourself out of this difficult time, and do not be scared to ask for support or space from others as and when it is necessary. Invest in your own spirituality and you will find you have much to achieve, discover, and enjoy in life yet - it’s all just around the corner.

The most important thing I want to say to you, is this women does not need it validated. She does not need anybody to tell her she's doing fine. She KNOWS. She is really fucking powerful. And here is the bit nobody talks about. The Empress raises life. That is her power! But this is not soft. When this card appears in your reading she isn't saying "just chill and enjoy the abundance." She isn't saying YOU ARE THE ABUNDANCE. She is saying stop looking outside yourself for something you already are. Stop letting someone else give you what you built. And, that now, in this moment the harvest is ours. You grew it, and more importantly it is about making sure you stop apologising for taking up space.

If anyone has made you feel stressed out over the last few weeks - like your work isn't important, your body isn't enough, your creativity is pointless - the Empress has a message for them. She barely looks at them. Because, she does not need to. She keeps growing things. That is the most devastating response anyone can ever give, in the face of stress, even failure she keeps building and she keeps growing. You don't fight them, you don't argue, you keep creating. So one day they are in YOUR garden wondering how it got so big.

What does the Empress represent?

The Empress represents mothering love, an authority figure that is looking out for you and is often a kind guardian, it could also represent you, that you are now on the higher levels of spirituality, that you have learned your lessons. She is wise and has attained her place in the hierarchy of the older tarot through her own missteps and finding her way. She has learned her lessons and is now in a position to give her wisdom to you. This is usually a motherly representation in one way or another indicating that you need to look out for someone around you or that someone is looking out for you. She can be represented as an older woman with authority in her own right that has come from wisdom and experience.

She is a reminder that life is precious and can be found in even the smallest of moments. By her side stands a guardian to protect and watch over us in our journeys ahead. Her aura is one of elegance, power, beauty and love - an invitation to explore the possibilities of life. She is the Empress and she stands ready to nurture us all.

As I have said above the Empress also represents a pure form of abundance. If you have received this card in your reading, you are going to be well taken care of. You will get everything that you desire and more. 

She symbolizes the Land of Milk and Honey after a long journey of hard labor and stress. She is the Universal Goddess: Isis Unveiled, fertile, strong and dynamic. She is also Venus: plump and curvy, attracting wealth like a magnet. This woman is represents female strength as well as a symbol of ultimate abundance in your life. I want you to know that her needs will be fulfilled with joy and satisfaction. There is no need to fear. Having the Empress on your side is like having a fierce mother, protecting you always. Receiving this card in your reading means that you are making the right decision, that you are supported, and that there is a vast array of possibility for abundance currently transiting around you. Many rewards are coming your way.

The Empress, governed by so many feminine energies is pure emotion and deep intuitive understanding. The lessons that you have learned in your life will now continue to benefit you. As you apply what you learn, you will reap the benefits of emotional rewards. She encourages you to express unfiltered emotions because you have earned the right to do so.

The Empress In Love

When the Empress shows herself in a reading about Love whoever you are thinking about ADORES you. So be prepared to go through a cycle of being worshipped. Everyone wants to be close to you because you are The God/Goddess of Love. How can they resist you? It is practically impossible. This is your time to say what you want exactly the way that you want it and have others rush to your side to provide it. Take this time to be a little selfish; do not compromise your beliefs or your integrity for anyone that isn’t similar to you. Take this opportunity to attract someone fantastic, that matches your energy, and let it happen. Now is the time.

The Empress As Feelings

As I have said above if someone feels the empress towards you they ADORE you. They are going in with an open heart and generous spirit, the Empress tarot card speaks to us of a connection that is deeply honest and honoring. She means to “feel adored” and accepted by another person on a soul level - as if they hold you thought dear, respect and care for each of your needs. Regardless of circumstances or external factors, this tarot card can serve as a powerful reminder to show respect for others. As long as we do not attach any strings, requirements, or conditions to our love, we become an incredible force for healing.

The Empress has meaning that extends beyond just pregnancy, but also the earth by extension and the act of lovemaking, too. In your enquiry of feelings, it points to clear and obvious physical attraction that pulls the person you ask after towards you like a moth to a flame. Tread carefully, lust clouds the head like fog – physical love doesn’t guarantee feelings beyond the surface level. If the attraction is shared, take small steps forward to see if you are also compatible in terms of opinion and lifestyle before going any further with the relationship. 

The Empress Love Reconciliation

Yes, you will likely get back together this is commitment, beauty, happiness, and, of course, the starting of a family. There’s a REAL feeling here, and pregnancy. If you are single, a new romance is likely to blossom. Keep your eyes open and enjoy every minute, this next love may well be “the one” you’ve always waited for. Remember to stay in tune with the emotional side of any fledgeling relationships, it is not just the physical attraction that matters, but emotional compatibility, too.

The Empress in Health

When the Empress comes up with a reading where health is asked, she is telling you that you have been working too hard and it is time stop and smell the roses. You likely are in a place where you can enjoy the rewards of your hard efforts and look upon them from a comfy chair overlooking the ocean and be pleased with what you have been able to accomplish. The act of healing from a busy time is just as important as any other preventative measure one to protect their health.

When stress is allowed to eat at the body, it begins to disintegrate. The Empress informs you that you need to give yourself the time off that you deserve so that you can have the perspective of a job well done. The Empress also weighs in on reproductive health. If you are trying to get pregnant or are pregnant, this card bodes well for you because you have her support. If you are trying to increase circulation or need to focus on feminine issues, the Empress will help you.

The Empress in Work, Money, Business, Career, and Wealth

All I can say here is HARVEST time is coming, this is the time to invest, to perpetuate stock, and to place a bet on a horse. Anything that brings you peace and relaxation where you can enjoy the fruit of your labor is going to coincide with the energies of the Empress. If your reading is work related and you are trying to figure out whether or not to take your business to another level, the Empress tells you to not make a decision now. In fact, this may be a time to step away from work. Take or plan a vacation and enjoy the moment rather than constantly trying to find ways to make more money.

Often this card will come up when you are at risk of spreading yourself too thin. Do not make large decisions regarding change of employment or financial issues. If you are seeking work, the Empress says that it is going to take time. Even in the most dire situations, there are solutions that can be found and likely others that are willing to help you get on your feet until a more productive air is around you. As the empress is connected to the earth element in work she brings with her a nurturing move on the part of an employer or employee. Something is delicate, almost born. It can mean that you might be aiming high but you need time to develop yourself. The empress also indicates that one must be guided firmly but surely if contemplating a new career path.

The Empress Advice

The advice of this card is to be who you are and stop asking for permission. That's the message. Pulling the Empress into advise mode, she looks you in the eye and says WHY ARE you WAITING? And you know what to do, you know this for weeks. But the Empress doesn't check, she creates. She chooses and then builds and if someone does not like what she built they do not tear it down - they plant something else next to it. Whatever decision you are circling now, there is no information shortage going on right now. The Empress in advice is like your grandmother telling you to just do it.

The Empress Yes Or No

The question on your lips, you wonder – is your answer yes or no? And this card the answer is ‘yes’. The Empress is connected to positive outcomes and new beginnings. In questions regarding fertility or pregnancy, this card carries extra meaning; your answer is it will happen, and there is very likely to be a baby in your future. 

The Empress Past

The Empress highlights a significant female figure from your past, she walked through the pages of your history like a leader, leaving her mark and paving the way for you. She might have been maternal, she might have been an equal, whatever the case, did she teach you lessons that you are now ignoring? This card may also appear in your past position when an opportunity you seized in the past has come good in the present. Seeds do not grow overnight but instead, they must be cared for and watered in order to become something more. The card reminds you that hard work is worth it, even when the rewards lie further down the road than you’d like. 

The Empress Present 

And something new is coming! The thing I want to remind you is that you don't have to be BRAVE in the way you think brave looks. No need to charge forward with a sword, as the Empress wears no sword. Yes, she really grows things, she is strong but not loud. It is deep and still and immovable if you know what I mean. It's the woman who keeps the whole family together and nobody notices until she stops. So stop figuring out what this new thing is. She needs soil and time and the will to keep going when nothing is visible yet. Seeds are already in the ground. And here I am telling you that you were the one who planted them - believe it or not. That was planting. every decision you made recently, every hard conversation, every door you closed - that was planting. And now let it grow, you will change with this new chapter. Let it change. 

The Empress Future and Outcome

All I can say is massive abundance is coming.  You will blossom into something much, much more; it could be a personal ambition about to take flight, a new relationship or stage of commitment with a loved one, or simply a change in location and lifestyle. Whatever the transformation, be happy that you have it all to come - the results will be as beautiful and distinct as a crystal blue sea.

The Empress As Friendship

For friendship, this is having real friends for once. If you are seeing this card, you are an important part of that balance so keep on doing what you’re doing and the happiness within your friendships will continue to fill each of you with gratitude and joy. If you have broken a friendship or had problems with a female then this is a kind of healing card. Things are going to work out. 

Reversed Empress In A Reading

The Empress in the reversed position, in my view, is symbolic of infertility, inconclusiveness, lack of abundance and confusion as well as instability and sometimes financial issues. It can also be a female that is starting to really ANNOY you. This happens when one is too caught up in attempting to make everything perfect and there is never any rest to gather what was. This also means that you need to use caution in your spending habits so as to not flitter away financial resources.

Take care to set up a nest egg for yourself so that you might be prepared should something go wrong. Question your poverty mindset and your feelings toward money or abundance. Do you feel worthy of relaxation? Of reaping the benefits that you have sown after hard work? Do you feel as though it is impossible to catch up? Ask the Empress to help heal your poverty mindset so that you can reap the benefits of the abundance that she has to offer you.

The Empress Reversed - Love and Romance

Not that good for love, but I want to say you can get over this. It can be a female that is rather aggressive, resentment brews, the smallest things turn into chaotic battles – sound familiar? The Empress reversed carries warnings of a love that has resulted in MASSIVE hardness and lack of empathy. For some of you, you and your partner may have been arguing or ignoring opportunities to be tender and loving with one another.

This card has REAL feminine energy, and it may be reversed when the balance of masculine and feminine attributes have become unbalanced.  Have you forgotten you are partners, not enemies? You can each counter this by reconnecting with your patient, nurturing side (this applies to both man and woman, as every gender has these qualities within them). If you are single, this reversed card sees promiscuity and a lack of emotional attachment in the dating world - take the time to consider whether you lack emotional availability and how this might be impacting your prospective relationships. 

The Empress reversed - Family and Home

Home is where the heart is, but The Empress and her emotional stance became inverted when reversed, so expect a greater level of conflict than normal and a general sense of unease infects the family relations, this often happens when family members feel that they can’t be honest about their feelings (causing repressed emotions and subsequent anger to go with it, all bubbling up like an overheated pot). It also might occur when the maternal figure of the family has been too busy or occupied to take on her normal role as the carer and nurturer of the family. If this figure is usually you, then it is worth refocussing your attention. Remember that communication and affection are two of the most important things in any happy, healthy family talking is the oil that keeps the machine working correctly. 

The Empress Reversed - Work and Finances

I often see this when someone's career has become dull and unfulfilling, it may not be terrible, but like bread without butter, it’s far from ideal. Perhaps the pay is good, but the emotional side of things are lacking and leave a hole in your life. The Empress asks if you have put money and status above what you’re truly passionate about? Or maybe you are working hard and enjoying your tasks but not feeling the benefit of appreciation from your colleagues or boss. Now is the time to reassess what you have and see if you can’t find some opportunities that may be hidden to the naked eye. See if there are small adjustments you can make before rushing to jump overboard! Sometimes we can improve things without making huge changes, we just need to look at things in a new light and keep an open mind to see the possibilities before us. 

The Empress Reversed - Health and Wellness

Your body is a temple, it needs an empress to rule it – but where is your monarch? The throne is dusty, the floor is cracked; it seems your health has fallen to the bottom of your to-do list. Remember that the best way to break out of a lull of energy is to force yourself to get more active and reignite your passion for life, through movement and the great outdoors. This card has a connection with nature, and when reversed it may highlight that a person is spending too much time indoors and away from the natural world – are the four walls closing in? For women trying to conceive, this card reversed often suggests complications or issues with infertility. Go to your doctor for a check-up to see what your situation is.  These complications may appear both for women who do want to conceive and for those who may unknowingly be pregnant and so it’s better to be safe than sorry.  

The Empress Reversed - Personal Spirituality

A fork in the road, a signpost which has been switched – The Empress reversed points to a divergence from your true spiritual path. You may have allowed yourself to disconnect from your spiritual journey, sometimes the daily bustle of life gets in the way of the deeper meaning that sits behind everything. This card reversed urges you not to get caught up in the mundane things in everyday life. When upright, this card speaks to the power of the world that surrounds us and is strongly associated with mother earth - you should consider using nature as a route to enlightenment so that you can recentre yourself on your spiritual journey.
