In the Past, the Ace of Pentacles can represent a big purchase; perhaps a house or a car, which you may still be learning to deal with in your life.
Present
The Ace of Pentacles in the present position represents the start of something good. You shouldn’t need to worry so much about your finances going forward.

The next stage for you is looking to be a productive, happy and lucrative one.
Future
The Ace of Pentacles can actually be a mixed sign to see in the future. While it can represent the beginning of material wealth, seeing an Ace in the future can represent a yearning or longing for a goal that is not achieved.
You may want things in your life to happen, but you aren’t setting things into motion. ‘Achievable reality’ is a term used in Chaos magic and can be applied here. You won’t win the lottery without buying a ticket, for example.
