A rather reserved, unenthusiastic defense of a casual idea of obstacle. Six staffs are raised against the one held horizontally from a higher precipice. How do I effectively protect how far I've come? And because I'm asking about finances, this would be in the light of the financial security I have attained. Because this card came reversed, I read it as struggling with the fear of failing to put financial plans in place for my future.
A man holds a sword aloft, glinting in the sun next to a horse. This character is ready to jump into any and all opportunities presented. He has completed the cycle of the swords (mastering the mental realm) and is ready to take everything he has learned to succeed. He is brave and daring and bold and indicates a forceful positive change and in financial terms would indicate something akin to a great investment opportunity.
Such a peaceful card that I have a personal history with. A woman in a long and heavy tapestry dress gazes at a bird on her left hand. Because it's a nine, she's come so far in the physical realm, she is now able to enjoy the fruits of her labor. It's like paradise on earth. It's heralding reaching a point where you can enjoy how far you've come. Abundance, financial independence, stability, security, profitable ventures... since buying property is my financial goal, having this card appear in an outcome position casts the most positive possible light.
This reading imbued me with an inner sense of confidence in taking the next and new step, like the Knight of Swords, of building my financial literacy and making moves to secure and grow my assets to achieve my goals.
