Hi Gem,

As promised, I am going to start posting these,

Aces
Everything in life has a cycle, a clearly defined beginning and an end. With the Aces, they are the initial idea which hasn’t come to fruition yet. You can almost say they are the seed planted in the fertile soil. The raw power of nature is now starting its magick, to germinate the seed and bring it into this world. We can also look at the birth of a child, enormous amounts of energy is used by both the mother and the baby, leaving both exhausted. The experience, life threatening. Look at natural disasters, landslides or glaciers. The root force may have been inconspicuous, but the resultant power exuded, untamed, unstoppable.
It’s almost befitting to say “life is a rollercoaster- enjoy the ride” only here, you better make sure you hold on and tight as well, because the forces operating here are in the mundane world as well as in the spiritual world. In taming these forces, you take hold of your future and can steer yourself to success as never before.
Your ideas are clear and motivated, it hasn’t yet been influenced by any positive or negative circumstances, in other words you are looking forward with a clinical attitude, and your planning is done in the purest form.
We can also relate the Ace to the Magician, he is the centre of the universe, and he has control over the beginning, creative power. When we look at the cards we can see that all of them is surrounded or underlined with fertile ground from which new growth is sprouting.
The significance of these cards as the beginning of which nothing can exist without an end being portrayed by the Yods. Here movement from above to below, mirroring the Magician, therefore as above so below. Boaz and Jachin. The beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning.
Aces are therefore a contradictory statement. In essence they are the spark, the start of something not yet manifested; Yod is translated to ten in Cabalistic literature and Aleph being one. Yet ten is reduced to one in numerology. Numerology is sometimes seen as being the alternative to Tarot. One is timeless and limitless, whereas ten is the manifestation of the spark and therefore limited.


Ace of Swords--
Symbolism:
Golden Crown:  Victory, attainment.
Roses: Spiritual righteousness.
Upturned Sword: Conviction to truth, confidence.
Six Yods: Falling to the ground symbolising the start or spark of a unlimited and not yet manifestation of reality in the third dimension.

Card description.
A single broadsword gripped firmly by a hand extending from a cloud, in some decks a fertile landscape with hills are also displayed, there are also drops of rain falling to the ground symbolizing the beginning of growth
Meaning: “By my might, I did it!!
This victory card stands for triumph and conquest by force, physically and intellectually. Physically you won the battle over obstacles; intellectually you outsmarted those around you. Your mind is sharper and clearer, giving you tremendous power in all areas of your life. Force of will, force of position or circumstances. This victory can be in any area of your life, profession, love and money. You attained that high position and you are or will soon taste that euphoria in whichever endeavor you were engaged in. In the suit of Swords it seems as if you started where others have finished. Everything linked to this card can be seen as in the excessive degree.

.Positive                                                                                                                                          This card stands for triumph, prosperity, conquest, fertility. Intellectual fulfillment. The birth of a new idea or a new Endeavour. Tremendous power now available, or used. May also indicate the birth of a child.

You have really pushed and shoved hard, used your force of will and influence to get to where you are now, you made sure that you employed your common sense to determine, not only your, but also other peoples lives in a positive way. You have the edge and conviction to use your new found power in a righteous way. Now is the best time also to start that new idea you are or were pondering.

The reader must put the card meanings in context with the spread regarding past, present and future!!


Negative                                                                                                                              
Disastrous results to your victory, you have still won, but soon or if not already, you whish you never won, now is the time where you are going to enter into, or already have, very tense relations, and emotional conflicts with yourself and with others. Over confidence. Self destruction.

Your victory is premature and spells disaster for you, you most definitely abused the power given to you and the affects has already or will start showing soon. You rushed in with too much confidence and dotted here and there, you will start seeing the flaws. Your common sense has let you down because you did not consider the consequences correctly. Your action has brought strife and negative factors into your professional and personal life. The opposing forces within yourself will now be evident; care must be taken to at least maintain your dignity. This card also foretells sickness of you or someone close to you.

Comparative to THE MAGICIAN

Card description.
A Single overflowing cup, held on the palm of one hand extended from a cloud, the overflowing liquid feeding a lake in a landscape with clouds, trees and mountains. Waterlillies are visible In the foreground.

Meaning: “More than expected!!
This card is indicative to fertility and celebration, sighted also to a union or partnership, which will be amicable. The beginning here then is that of a marriage, the consummation of a worthy union or close partnership which will bring you joy, its inception is happy, Predicting merrymaking. The Ace in the reading also adjusts to include the beginning of a lasting and true love.  

Positive                                                                                                                                     Abundance in all areas of your life, especially your love life. Consummation of a worthy union which will benefit all parties concerned. Merriment, contentment and celebrating true love. Fulfillment. A true heart.

The tug at your heart is more of a strong pull. If you recently met someone veeery special, don’t carry on looking!! It’s more likely that you’ve already thought about the ring? Of all the others predicting a union, this one is most likely to be your lasting, true love. But then again you know it, it’s as if everything just feels right, fits in and blends perfectly. For now best choice is with you.
This card also predicts a partnership, but mostly, describes your love life and happiness.  

Negative                                                                                                                                          False hope, clouded joy, fulfillment delayed, false heart, unfaithfulness, false love, change, alteration, sterility.

You have been hoping for the right person to come into your life, maybe you’ve had a few flings and have been in a relationship which you hoped would be stable and amicable. The right person maybe in the background somewhere but it’s not the right time now. It takes more than the Tarot to direct you, surrounding circumstances may be a good indication. If you are in a relationship, it would be best for you to examine your needs and see, if what you have, is really what you hoped for. Maybe you should start getting ready for the inevitable change which may be in the future for you.

Ace of Pentacles.

Card description.
A Single Pentacle in a fertile garden with a path leading thru an archway and in the background, mountains.                                                                                            Meaning: “ Abundance, Riches!!

This card is indicative to fertility and financial success, sighted also at a new enterprise which you started or soon will. The beginning here then, is that of material wealth, riches and abundance. This is a card of success whereby the success will most likely be measured in material wealth and stability. This card dictates success no matter what the surrounding cards indicate.

Positive                                                                                                                                            Success, reward, attainment, wealth and material gain, fulfillment and happiness. Stating an enterprise whose success is assured. Also indicates a true love and faithfulness.

If you have ever wondered how it happens that some people just get it right so often, as if they were born with a golden spoon in their mouths. Sometimes it takes years to get going or get started, but with this card it’s not actually, fall in your lap, but almost. You’ll still need to do something and, WOW, what you do will make perfect sense and things will also start “just happening” for you

Negative                                                                                                                                             A small advance in business dealings, should you have great success, it would bring you unhappiness in personal relationships. False hope, clouded joy, fulfillment delayed, false heart, unfaithfulness, false love, change, altercation, sterility.

Although this card is a card of success whether positive or negative, when negative and surrounded by negative cards, you will still have financial gains but at the cost of your personal relationships. In short, you would have to spend most of your time keeping your finances in check, in effect you will be grasping at straws and the personal relationships you enter into may be premature.
That promise of riches has suddenly grounded to a halt and may cause delays in your success, consider a change inevitable and probably for the worst. It would also be advisable for you to consult on people specializing on investments and even so, investigate the matter thoroughly.


Ace of Wands.

Element: Fire                  Direction:  East
Season: Summer                          Zodiac: Fourth quarter of Aries, ruled by: THE EMPEROR
Comparative to THE MAGICIAN

Card description.
Meaning: “Creation, Power”

This card is all about creation and the use of raw energy, your potential to make use of opportunities presenting themselves to you, it also indicates that a new venture will be successful, what it tells us is that you will conquer those things or enemies, that was holding you back, in effect stripping away of your bonds. It also allegorises the beginning of and idée and your mental intellect to start this business with the necessary groundwork done.

Positive
An auspicious start of a new business or enterprise. Also a good time to start. The circumstances are right, and the ideas and planning are also right. A state of contentment and triumph. This card also tells you that you will enter a time at which you will work very hard for your success

Throughout a person’s life, you are presented with opportunities for success, but sometimes these opportunities are sure failures. You are presented with an opportunity to start a new venture. The possibility is, you have been contemplating this move for some time already. It is obvious that you have made your calculations correctly and your plan of action has been investigated thoroughly. A point of interest is that now is the right time to make this move the negative obstacles has had their time and something of the past. Note, that although the idée you have will be successful, there would be no time for you to rest on your laurels. This is all about hard work will be rewarded.

Negative
Ruin and decline. Ill conceived business or project, not enough information or ability to do it, or the time was wrong. Uncertainty and doubt. The reading for example, may show that you could do this or should do that, but that you lack sufficient confidence or belief in yourself and/or your enterprise. The result in any case will be failure unless the proper steps are taken.

There is no better way to put in than ”you’re screwed”. This is not because you did everything wrong. Sometimes it’s just not the time to do it or you didn’t think of everything. You may have been overeager in the sense that you didn’t investigate all the facets or, was given incorrect information. Your self-confidence took a dip and maybe you didn’t create an environment of productive actions. If the cycle of failure hasn’t completed yet, go back to the drawing board and see what can be done, to ensure success. If it is obvious nothing can save your venture, dump it, otherwise you may suffer more. However, don’t despair make the correct moves and success is yours.
