Meaning in Situations

First and foremost, this card means financial security. Most likely, a real opportunity has appeared for you to become wealthy or to increase the financial well-being you already have. In a different situation, the card says that you are too stingy or conservative and therefore afraid to take risks — yet risk is exactly what you need right now. Or you cling too tightly to your entrenched convictions and are terrified of losing what you have built up through hard work. You need to learn to delegate some of your duties to others instead of trying to do everything yourself.

Prosperity, stability, savings — both money and possessions. Dependence on money, fixation on money. An overly practical approach to everything. Profiting at others' expense.

Work

Banking. Savings banks, warehouses, storage facilities. The desire to save a lot and spend little (both money and energy). Living off interest, rent, or income from leasing out property. Can mean a life on a firm footing, but on modest means (a small salary, a pension).

Health

Stable, but a regimen is needed.

Relationships

Emotionally stingy, possessive. Closing off from one another. Tight-fistedness with money (even when there is plenty of it).

Personality Type

Restrained, cool, closed off, strict, stingy, conservative.

Advice and Warning

Advises economizing and saving. Warns against being a miser. The miser pays twice.

Yes or No

"Yes." Calm, stability.

Reversed Card Meaning

You may be having trouble spending or setting aside your hard-earned money sensibly. You cannot balance your budget properly. You think about security all the time — especially financial security. You are holding on very tightly to something that you should, in fact, let go of. You are too fragile and constantly trying to justify yourself, and this character trait gets in the way of reaching your goals. There may be delays in the matters you are currently dealing with.

Complete dependence on money. The temptation of money and its power. Excessive stinginess, the urge to economize on everything. In the worst case — a period of strict austerity.

Reversed Meaning: Work

Low pay, exorbitant interest rates. A business built on extremely meager resources.

Reversed Meaning: Health

Strength and health must be conserved. Economizing at the expense of health, putting off the doctor's visit until the last moment.

Reversed Meaning: Relationships

Rigid, authoritarian, with pressure on the partner. Dependence on the partner's money, being kept (but not in luxury). Exploitation — making money off, or economizing at the expense of, a loved one.

Reversed Meaning: Personality Type

Stingy, greedy, intolerant of other people's troubles and suffering.

Reversed Meaning: Advice and Warning

Advises counting every cent. Warns that you are far too dependent on money. It has become your idol.

A period of restrictions.
