Symbolism in the Ace of Pentacles card

A hand emerging from a cloud holds a large golden pentacle, while below lies a garden of lilies and flowers and, beyond an arched hedge, mountains. The pentacle represents material opportunity and the seed of abundance, and the tended garden the potential for a rich harvest. The arch in the hedge symbolizes a doorway into a new world, and the distant mountains goals and achievement. The card shows a concrete beginning from which something real can be built.
