How to Read the Aces | Tarot Cards Video Lecture | Tarot Reading: Read Tarot Cards to know all the Answers - Professional Skills

hello I'm Ellen Goldberg and welcome to
a Tarot moment from the school of
Oracle's in this segment we're going to
take a brief look at the four aces the
four aces are the leading card of each
of the four suits and they embody the
element in their purest form in fact
their name is always the root of the
element of whichever suit and that root
has its beingness in heaven the aces are
very powerful cards they're the most
powerful cards in the Minor Arcana when
you get an ace in the reading you know
that something very big is happening a
strong force is present and you take it
seriously
each of these is very close to the
meaning of the element itself and we've
done segments on the four elements so it
might be fun to go and refer to them
also to refer in our segment on the Tree
of Life
because we talked about how each of the
groups of cards the twos the threes of
course the Aces belong to the
corresponding Saphira on the Tree of
Life the Aces belong to the very top of
the tree of life to Quetta and therefore
it is spirit incarnate or actually not
incarnate yet but spirit on its way to
be incarnate the Ace of Wands you see is
a masculine card
notice how the wand is very phallic
looking it's so alive the little green
leaves show the onrushing of spring
they're shaped very much like yards
which is a seed the building block of
the entire Hebrew alphabet there's power
here in vitality and passion the Ace of
Wands comes into reading and it's well
dignified know that there could not be
any better card to receive at the
commencement of an enterprise because
there is so much of the onrushing force
of life here
there's potency there's energy when it's
in a more negative mode or ill
technophile lower polarity then it's
energy that is impotent or too much
energy Furion Calamity be aware a
negative Ace of Wands can have so much
energy all blocked up that it can be
very damaging the ace of cups is
feminine and all the Aces are going to
alternate masculine feminine masculine
and feminine the ace of cups because
cups refer to emotions psychic
development feelings intuition
creativity and love we see what a loving
card it is as the Dove who is sacred to
Venus descends to the cup of receptivity
and fills the cup so so that it runs
over when you get the ace of cups in the
reading on the higher polarity it's love
yearning psychic development caring
inspiration on the lower polarity it
could be a psychic drain or you going
down the drain emotionally or the
creativity all blocked up or someone who
is totally self-absorbed the ace of
swords is one of the most important
cards in the deck because swords are the
change suit and the ACE being the most
powerful of the swords this is a card of
ultimate change change is coming change
in your process this is the sword of
truth and it represents the middle
pillar on the Tree of Life how do we
know that because we see at the top the
crown which is Keter we see somewhere in
the middle the six floating yards which
represent the six Saphira to ferret the
sun which is the direct reflection of
Quetta
each of the aces has the hand of God as
you will often see it appear like this
in old alchemical and spiritual
manuscripts and each hand is slightly
different you can kind of see the
personality that it gives to the element
that hand on the ace of swords is ready
for action this is the sort of spiritual
brightness it's a sort of truth when the
ace of swords shows up in your reading
know that there's going to be a lot of
change in your own personal process or
even more importantly change in your
thoughts about yourself your identity
the I am dot dot that you fill in the
blank is one of the things that
determines our entire experience of life
this card will show you that there's an
enormous powerful force at work could be
for good or it could be for evil because
the greater the light the greater the
shadow I mean this card is in its lower
polarity there is untruth
there is the invoking of force for well
purposes that are just no good there's a
lot of power here when it's up right
think of the brightest finest truthful
things in the world and when it's
reversed there's lies and deceit and
change is blocked the ace of Pentacles
is like the Sun in the sky the pentacle
as I've mentioned in another segment is
not just a coin it is a magical symbol
of Earth and here it shines like the Sun
over a garden in that garden remember
the path we've seen in so many of the
Major Arcana cards and even in some of
the Minor Arcana cards well here is
where it leads it's come back to the
Garden of Eden
Pentacles are interested in
manifestation
this reeks has to do with results and if
you get it in a reading it is the finest
attainment in a matter possible it is
absolute materialization and success of
whatever you're working on
but Pentacles also deal with the body
and the home in all earthly things on
the higher polarity its results
manifested attainments perhaps money and
security and on the lower polarity
things are not working out so well the
earth plane is giving you a very hard
time and perhaps you are overly
concerned with money and material
possessions
