Ace of Pentacles
Upright meaning
A tangible opportunity: the first seed of work, income, health, or a more stable daily life.
Something to consider
A useful opportunity may begin as something quite small. Ask what practical step would give it a chance: time set aside, a conversation, or a little practice.

Waite: reversed
The evil side of wealth, bad intelligence; also great riches. In any case it shews prosperity, comfortable material conditions, but whether these are of advantage to the possessor will depend on whether the card is reversed or not.
