Reversed Ace of Pentacles as a Person

If the Ace of Pentacles reversed appears in a Tarot spread as a person, that means that this person is ungrounded, impatient, and potentially unreliable. In some cases, they can also be overly materialistic, while lacking the ambition to gain what they covet. Because this is a Minor Arcana card, some of these traits will not be inherent aspects of their identity. If they are behaving unfavorably, they might just be going through a temporary phase. It may be a behavioral pattern that they can still unlearn, if they choose to. Good or bad, nobody is perfect, and people can use their free will to change for the better.

For physical characteristics, the Ace of Pentacles reversed as a person represents someone who is overly focused on being showy. They love material goods and sensual pleasures.

For careers, the Ace of Pentacles reversed can represent someone who is entitled in the workplace. They feel that they deserve a higher salary and job title, even when they are unqualified for the position. Alternatively, this card may also indicate that this person has entered a career path that isn’t right for them.
