– Charles Harrington, Murder of Crows Tarot Deck

Keywords: A prosperous beginning, careful planning.

The Murder of Crows deck is unique in that its card meanings are written to include both the negative and positive sides of the card whether it be upright or not. Generally, when I read with these cards, I will consider both the negative and positive regardless of its position. However, should one become reversed, I interpret its negative meaning a bit more strongly than I do when it is upright. However, because this is a post, incorporating emphasis one way or the other is a bit difficult. If you’d like to explore these cards or get a further reading, you can book a reading here!

What is the Minor Arcana?

56 Cards out of 78 in a tarot deck belong to the Minor Arcana. While the Major Arcana represents long term major pivotal life moments, the Minor Arcana touches on shorter term, everyday occurrences.  The Minor Arcana is broken down into 4 suits. Wands, Pentacles, Swords, and Cups. Aces are signs of new beginnings. It’s about finding initiative, drive, potential, and purpose. It’s all about embarking on new journeys or beginning to manifest something in your life. The Pentacles cards are all about family, money, work, health, and the longer term goals surrounding those things.

The Ace of Pentacles – Minor Arcana

The Ace of Pentacles, also known as the Ace of Coins, is a sign that it is time to break ground on manifesting your goals. You’ve done the work you need to set yourself up to embark on this new journey. You’ve found a place to plant your roots and build your foundations. Now it’s time to act. It’s time to do the thing you’ve been waiting to do. However, this is a card that reminds you to take a moment of introspection before you leap. Are you doing this for the right reasons? Is it an impulsive decision? If you know in your heart that this journey you want to embark on is for your greater good, now is the time to get it started.

The Ace of Pentacles indicates a seed being planted in the material world. This seed is planted in earthly energy with security and stability in mind. Watering this seed has the potential to be very rewarding due to the nature of the energy in which it is planted. Like a seed, the opportunity before you must also be nurtured, cared for, and fed with energy, time, and funds. slow and steady wins the race and strong foundations are the key to holding up any and every plan.
