Understanding Ace Tarot Cards

The Major Arcana represent energies that are deep, strong and long-lasting while the Minor Arcana signify the activities, concerns and emotions that form our everyday lives. Each Ace has a different symbolism or quality attached to it, giving further insight into the issue at hand. Their imagery is more or less similar, featuring a hand emerging from a cloud holding a wand, a sword, a cup or a pentacle. When an Ace appears in a reading, it usually means three things: BEGINNINGS, CLEAN BREAKS, OPPORTUNITIES.

The Ace of Wands

Keywords: energy, vim and vigor, intuition, imaginative sexuality, opportunity presented as a result of one's conscious efforts, passion, optimism.

The Ace of Swords

Keywords: justice, clear-thinking, victory, authority, clarity, strength in spite of adversity, forceful emotions.

The Ace of Cups

Keywords: fertility, productivity, beauty, pleasure, happiness, joy of living, openness.

The Ace of Pentacles

Keywords: prosperity, stability, contentment, material achievements, abundance, fulfillment, joy.

When the Moon transits through the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius), it's recommended that you focus on the household chores you've already begun. It's important that you follow your schedule and take them one at a time.
