64-Ace of Disks – Reversed Thoth Deck

When reversed, the Ace of Pentacles (golden coins) suggests that something may have gone awry in your quest for material well-being. Perhaps you are missing a significant opportunity to improve financial security, or maybe your attitude toward wealth and prosperity needs adjusting. In the myth of King Midas, his unbridled greed for the acquisition of material goods leaves him devoid of human contact. Now may be a good time to ponder Buddha’s teachings about nonattachment. Interestingly, the lilies on this card in the Llewellyn Classic Tarot resemble the lotus, a Buddhist symbol of nonattachment; the lotus has the ability to rise above the mire of the swamp and produce an object of beauty.

Keywords Reversed: Materialism, greed, discontent, poverty, wastefulness, bad medicine, excessive attachment, missed opportunities.

Timing: Astrologically, Earth is linked to wintertime.
Astrology: Primordial energy of Earth, the element associated with the season of winter.
Number Symbolism: 1 – initial spark, will, creation, beginnings, new life.

Etteilla: Contentment, great joy, happiness, rapture, ecstasy, pleasure, accomplishment, the perfect medicine, the color red; (R) riches, capital, wealth, opulence, treasure, precious things.

When Ace of Disks is reversed you can pretty much take it that life is going well but that’s when life takes us by surprise.  If Ace of Disks is unclear it may help to choose a card from the Major Arcana to provide more insight into what it is Ace of Disks is trying to tell you.  If you had a particular issue in  mind, or want to seek clarification on something else, you can also choose again to get more guidance.

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Complete Book of Tarot: As mentioned, the Golden Dawn occultists made use of Kabbalah to assign meanings to tarot cards. In particular, they paired the meanings of the numbered Sephiroth (emanations) of the Tree of Life with cards of the same number. The Tree of Life is oriented in space like the Hanged Man, growing upside-down. The initial spark of creation takes place at the top of the tree in the Sephirah Kether (‘the Crown’), numbered one. The roots of the tree lie in heaven, and its ultimate fruit manifests at the bottom in Malkuth (‘the Kingdom of Earth’), numbered ten. Keywords for the Tree of Life include:
