Interpretation of this Finances Tarot Spread:

Card 1 : Impressions at the outset

This card offers insight into the present situation.

The Emperor is a powerful figure. A strong desire for status, and control together with the drive and intention to be respected by others may well have played a part in building up the wealth or income. The querent might be able to lean on a person of wealth and influence who has created a valuable assest such as a business through years of heard work. The most obvious possibility is that he or she has done so him or herself, establishing a strong financial position as a result. Alternatively, the powerful rational person indicated might be a mentor or trusted expert to whom one might turn for advice.

How might you use rational logical thought processes to better understand and then improve your situation ? The extent to which you are respected, well connected and well organized might also be helpful perhaps to secure a new position, a rise or an important business deal.

The Emperor | Pos. 1 : Impressions at the outset

Card 2 : Influences on plans and decisions

Opportunities and/or constraints (real or imagined) can affect progress in various ways.

The Lovers indicate a crucial decision to be made, a choice about which path to take. When an important decision cannot be postponed but must be made imminently or immediately, 'opportunity' has been forced upon us. There might not be any possibility of revisiting that particular fork in the road.

In terms of finances this might refer to business partnerships or alliances. Decisions about which bank or other financial institution to invest in or with or to borrow from might involve an upfront cost or a long-term commitment. The outcome of such a decision might not be known for some time, if at all - especially if eventually proceeding with only one option without knowing how others might have performed. Consider all the information available, preferably together with the input of an experienced and trusted advisor.

Card 3 : Emotions

Decision makers' states of mind affect choices made, hence eventual outcomes. To the extent that a person's actions contribute to his or her financial future, that person's emotional hopes, fears and expectations might have played a part.

Death refers to dramatic transformation. This calls for an open-minded ability to manage change effectively and draw strength from a completely different set of circumstances presented in a very short space of time. An acrobatic mentality might be required. Positive resolution is a must. There is no room for the delay incurred by dread or doubt.

Card 4 : Looking forward ...

Fortunes rise and fall. When considering indications into the future keep in mind the time frame you chose before beginning this reading.

Temperance signifies all things in moderation, including success and financial reward.

There is enough. There is no need for conflict, strife or violence. Sufficient comes with peace, harmony and equality.

Remember that while the tarot can provide interesting insights, ideas and 'food for thought', it cannot predict or control your future. The point of power is always in the present moment. The wise may be optimistic, but not complacent. If at any time the way ahead does not look favourable you always have the possibility to make changes beginning with thoughts, attitudes, and emotions.
