Interpretation of this Finances Tarot Spread:
Card 1 : Impressions at the outset
This card offers insight into the present situation.
The Chariot represents balance and self-discipline. It indicates that you have or must stay centered, clear minded and able to balance conflicting interests when necessary. Perhaps the conflicting demands of work and home leave little time for professional development or little money for investment. Alternatively there many be a struggle for resources in a business or community context. The relentless need to continue to meet needs and deadlines might overpower any desire for rest and reconsideration of plans.
What is your strategy and purpose? When forced by circumstances into always being swiftly on the move it is especially important to ensure that the movement is in a desired direction.
Card 2 : Influences on plans and decisions
Opportunities and/or constraints (real or imagined) can affect progress in various ways.
Judgement is a call to arise* and wake up to new opportunities. It is a card of renewal indicating a form of rebirth after having grown out of old ways of seeing the world and graduated (a rite of passage is another concept associated with Judgement) into improved circumstances.
The influences surrounding this situation are powerfully positive. There is a sense of unconstrained possibility having just completed a transformation from outdated habits into a clearer understanding of all things.
*Some tarot decks depict figures rising from open coffins in representation of 'the last day' or, as some decks entitle this card, 'The Last Judgement'.
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.
The Wheel of Fortune has an air of optimistic expectation. There is an energetic sense of possibility and a willingness to deal positively with rapid changes as opportunities present themselves and decisions must be made.
Happiness and energetic attention where necessary contribute to the management of this project.
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.
The Emperor signifies an outcome that embodies the successful achievement of respect, stability and security.
Some cards depict The Emperor with the world at his feet. The Emperor shown in the Oxford Tarot deck is one of the figureheads located at the Broad Street entrance to the Sheldonian Theatre, beneath which are stored thousands of books and documents - a 'world' of culture and learning 'at his feet'. This is fitting given that another interpretation of this card is that of 'domination of the world'. This achievement can reach far beyond mere material wealth.
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.
