In cartomancy with playing cards, the Ace of Clubs (A♣) represents the inception of the suit. The Suit of Clubs is material and concerned with toil and the physical reality that exists out there as opposed to the inner realm of the Hearts.

Because Clubs are a suit of action and the ace is the beginning, the Ace of Clubs signifies what action begins with, namely with an objective, an aim, a commitment, something that drives us outside of ourselves in pursuit of something or someone else. It is a very powerful card. In fact, one of the most powerful in the deck. It gives the querent strength and power over the situation and it shows active commitment toward something or someone. When a face card comes up with the Ace of Clubs next to them, he or she is a strong person, one whose say matters, and usually a truthful person. Broadly, the card gives qualities of creativity, productivity and reliability.

Attended by Spades, the Ace of Clubs shows difficulties concerning a commitment or plan, and it points to an inability to get what you want. With Hearts, the querent’s will is realized easily.

The Ace of Clubs is connected with the notion of out there, and just as the Ace of Hearts signifies the home, the Ace of Clubs signifies a place out in the world, outside of the home, such as an office, a government building, a prison, a church, a shop, a restaurant, etc.

Another meaning of the Ace of Clubs is that it represents official documents, because an official document is objectively binding and is not just an inner fantasy. More specifically, the Ace of Clubs signifies signed documents and the act of signing, i.e., of committing to an interpersonal agreement.

In love readings, this card can signify a strong commitment of one person to another or of both person to their common projects. It can of course signify a marriage license. In work readings it shows the querent’s commitment or his commitments and duties, and how and whether he lives up to them. It also brings new opportunities and possibilities.

The Ace of Clubs is a card of vigor and power. Even when a line of card is not completely satisfactory, if it ends with the Ace of Clubs, the querent will still come out on top, or at least land on his feet.
