I don't know why I'm always surprised when pentacles come up in a reading. I think I assume the material world will be fine enough. It's the realm of thought and heart and gut that feed the soul of this Romantic. Of course, it's hard to focus on sentiment when you have neither house nor food nor work. It's easy to forget that when you're doing well.Aces hold the sense of possibility. They are the very essence of the suit they represent, a seed which, with nurturing, can bloom. when the Ace of Pentacles comes up in a reading, it's not a time for fantasy or drama or daring. It's a time to be real and centered. The card is asking you to trust, not blindly, but building a firm foundation, both within and without. Yes, that means not lying to myself and not lying to others, which is pretty much where I am right now anyway.
The Ace of Pentacles can also be a sign that you can make your dreams come true. Your ideas are ready, they just need you to turn them into something tangible. I'm assuming this relates to writing and art, but maybe it involves life too. I'm wondering more about that with this suit, if life is art, of we make it and ourselves.
In the Jane Austen Tarot, the Ace of Coins sits atop the novel Sense and Sensibility. The book suggests that pragmatism and sensibility beats out fine sentiments and romanticism. The Ace of Coins demands that we move step-by-step toward our dreams. "If there's something you want, expectation alone will not provide it. Move steadily and surely -- and even then, you may not reach your desired goal. But you will be at least one step closer to it." p. 125
