Ace of Coins
In the beginning, God created the earth, plants and animals with the grand finale' of humanity. He looked upon his creation and said that it was good, very good. As the mountains can be seen through the archway of greenery on this card, so God shines through all he has made. The heavens declare the glory of God, and all creation reveals his majesty, wisdom, and power.
The card displays the divine hand coming from the cloud, a hand which holds out a golden circle inscribed with a five-pointed star--a symbol of the five senses or five directions in Leonardo da Vinci's famous diagram of Vitruvian Man: two hands, two feet, one head; and so this ace represents the pure potential of the human and physical realm, the excitement at the beginning of a new job or project, the hope in a new investment, the joy of learning a new skill.
Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes, "So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his work, for that is his lot. Who can bring him to see what will be after him?"
As God delights in the work of his hands, so we rejoice in the work of our hands, the fruit of our labor, rewards of a job well done, and even sometimes a taste of heaven.
"Money, get away," goes Pink Floyd's ironic apostrophe.
"Get a good job with good pay and you're okay."
