Lesson 13: Court ACE

Each ACE is symbolized by its perfection (see the quality that fits it). An ACE always adds something special to the interpretation. If it is in its own aura, it is beyond other cards. All images in the ACE are the same. A powerful control, full of vitality and strength, like the power taken from the clouds, which is its symbol. The ACE controls your talents, which come from some unknown source hidden in "the clouds." Natural talents can be expressed through appropriate abilities.

ACE Wands

Wands are powerful, masculine, lively, and full of energy. Leaves are growing, just like new life rising up. Wands remind us that the magic staff is usually used to accomplish tasks and create miracles. The ability of the ACE Wands is creativity, positivity, courageous spirit, and confidence.

ACE Cups

Cups represent openness, undetermined, feminine — a planned way to obtain meaningful exchanges. Water flows continuously from the Cup, meaning an endless supply of power flowing into your inner world, restoring your spirit. The ability of the ACE Cups is emotional, feeling, intuition, intimacy, and love.

ACE Swords

Swords are weapons — a finely crafted tool to pierce any obstacle or confusion. Swords extend their power to the user to fight and win. They can control a cruel power, but they are usually pure, simple, and wise. The ability of the ACE Swords is reason, facts, truth, justice, and perseverance.

ACE Pentacles / Five-pointed Star

Pentacles/Five-pointed Star is a mysterious symbol from the natural world and daily life. It is printed on coins, representing material transactions. Money and raw materials are necessary for us to make our dreams come true. The ability of the ACE Pentacles is prosperity, practicality, security, and showing talent.

The ACE is the gateway between the Major and Minor Arcana. They are powerful, but not personal forces you receive in your life. The nature of the ACE will be revealed in the reading, which you can appropriately utilize. If you feel they are beneficial, you will succeed and be very happy. ACE always interprets beneficial, positive, and life-affirming things.

ACE can foretell the beginning of a new adventure. I have said before, in the position 1, the ACE Cup was about a friend who would have a new romance. Which card is best for foretelling the start of a love relationship? (Well~ it could be the Fool, but that's another story!)

ACE can also symbolize an open window of opportunity. ACE tells you to pay attention to it, and you cannot ignore it. Consider the ACE in possible beginnings, which will remind you of where to pay attention and worry.

The relevant ACE Pentacles in position 1, and the ACE Wands in position 2 — combining the dynamic, we say "expect a real solution to your energy that will bring you great success." A few months later, she told me — this was correct — she was working in a challenging job and earning a lot of money, as well as having a very happy love life.
