September harkens the transition from summer to fall and many reflect on the harvest of their labor at this time. This months’ Querent is troubled by the fear that her harvest will be meager this year as a career transition has resulted in earnings that fall short of past expectations. Her dilemma is expressed through her question; “what is my financial outlook and what can I do to make the most of what I have during this time?” An interesting question indeed as Tarot can provide insight into situations and patterns the Querent can be aware of or take advantage of, and yet it must be emphasized that these services are no substitution for financial advisement. Likewise Tarot pinpoints matters of spiritual nature so while there are ways to indicate gains, losses and general advice it should be noted there is no card that will distinguish “Money Market Accounts” from “Stock Market” or “Pay off the Credit Card”….perhaps this would make for an interesting oracle if any of the readership chooses to create a deck solely focused on financial matters….(not a bad idea come to think of it!) For the time being, this month’s Querent who we will call Judy will be guided in terms of what she needs to know to navigate her financial needs on a limited income.
Three cards are drawn as usual- and this reading also yields a Leaper- an additional card whose kamikaze flight from the deck during shuffling indicates the cards are ready to tell their tale. The Leaper for Judy is the Ace of Hearts. A hopeful sign, as this card indicates happiness and brings a feeling of blessing and hope to Judy’s situation. While it is not an indicator of work or money specifically it connotes that Judy’s situation has a happy ending.
The Six of Hearts is the first card of Judy’s reading. It connotes a pleasant and hopeful resolution to Judy’s problem based on the help or assistance of someone from Judy’s past- either a childhood friend or a past resource or outlet that has not been acknowledged or realized yet. Judy should remain receptive to the advice of a trusted friend, someone who will help Judy connect to solutions and resources that have otherwise not been considered. It also suggests financial growth and security with the guidance and assistance of a significant other whose income contributes to financial stability. In terms of protecting current assets it may be prudent at this time for Judy to review all accounts and assets, including some held from childhood or from earlier in life- a key seems to be finding a solution in the past, attaining security through tapping a resource from Judy’s heritage, family or past. The number six may be significant as well- increments of 600 or 6,000 dollars. Judy would do well to blend her plans with those of a significant other or trusted friend- being open to feedback but also maintaining her original plans- this solution seems to be a blend of her objectives with the suggestions from this person from her past. One thing seems indicated in this reading- it does not appear Judy will face a loss. It appears likely her finances will grow and remain protected through her initiative and the guidance of another- it does not seem likely she will face unforeseen catastrophe that would threaten her current savings.
The center card is the Knave of Bells, and this is in fact the only of these three (plus Leaper, making four) cards that directly connotes finances and work. It suggests new opportunities for growth and guidance from a young person who is business or money minded. This does not suggest staggering growth, rather it suggests early groundwork being laid for financial development at a slow and steady pace. Regardless it is not suggesting loss or retraction of savings, while earning potential may have slowed it seems stability and security are not going to be an issue. There does not seem to be need to panic. It is likely that Judy will be assisted by the advice of a person who is in training or early in their career- with sound business perspective and an ability to be flexible, open, creative, but also with a firm grasp of financial matters. It is also likely that a business proposal brought to Judy’s attention can assist her in establishing a new income source, a secondary stream of income in its early development.
The final card in this reading is the Three of Hearts, another card depicting emotional satisfaction. It seems that expansion of Judy’s current financial foundation will likely arise through collaboration with others especially through three channels- three investments, three opportunities to generate income. It also is highly likely that celebrations, friends, and family will assist in generating this income- work in entertainment, family or party events, income gained through family donations or celebratory gifts. These seem to be positive, growth based opportunities, not tragedies such as inheritances or lawsuits. Most importantly the common message through all these cards is that of expansion, success, and happiness, not of loss, hardship or financial turmoil. Through careful consideration and openness to the views of those around her, Judy will be given opportunities to make what she has last as well as to generate new sources of financial growth at a slow and steady rate. She will not likely have to contend with catastrophic losses or continued financial or even emotional downfalls at this time.
Best of luck to Judy in all of her endeavors and remember that regardless of where you are reading this article all readings are for entertainment purposes in accordance with NYS law.
