Fixing it so you will have the money to pay your bills

Six of Pentacles Ace of Pentacles, Strength, Two of Wands

Practical Perspective: You will have the money to handle any problems that arise and pay the bills. Your financial plan fixes your money situation so that you can pay the bills and save for the future. You will be able to handle any financial problem that comes along with what you are paid. You are going to be paid a significant sum that puts you on top of things. You are going to make (him) pay you the money. Paying a large amount into a pension fund (or trust, or insurance) is the solution. You will receive money in a large amount that solves your difficulties. Taking control of your situation will pay off handsomely. Overcoming your own weaknesses and being on the right path, you will be treated with respect. Spiritual strength gives you the solid future you deserve. She quashes the person who makes her problem, and does it right, so justice will happen for sure. She will make the right thing – justice – happen to the person who is the problem. She makes him/them pay her what is fair, long term. OKAY, OKAY, we got it.  “It’s the economy, stupid” kind of thing.  It’s all about money.  (Well, it also speaks of spiritual power bringing success.  The justice theme is interesting too:  That can be about court proceedings.)  No romance for today, but you get paid:  Which do you prefer?  (Me, I take the money, but I’ve had my share of love and retired.)

Meanings and Illustrations:

Our first card is the Ace of Pentacles. If you had to choose one card to live in, this would be it.  It means success, the right path (the Right Hand Path in occult lore), money in hand, being right, and the word ‘perfect.’  Since it is residing in a spread of two other cards that mean money, and one other that means success, those are what it is expressing to us today. Its illustration is a hand with big money in it, ‘the prize in hand,’ over ‘the right path, a pretty trail with lilies in front, white of course, and garlands growing over a big trellis, like a victory display. Our next is a Waite Tarot card that is very rich in meanings.  Strength of character gives the ability to overcome and solve whatever comes against you by influencing it rather than by outright battle.  Demons, for example, avoid adepts (spiritual masters); trouble avoids people who are prepared for it; bullies avoids people who are in the mood for battle.  The card refers most often to ‘handling’ or ‘being able to handle’ and overcoming, including overcoming yourself (self-discipline) as well as overcoming opposition, the enemy or an attacker.  The conflict, in this story, is resolved without coming to blows – is resolved by the attacker not going through with it, losing its/his/their nerve. Positioned next to the Ace of Pentacles, the Strength Tarot card emphasizes spiritual victory and being right.  Being right is also expressed by the last card in our today spread., so that is a major theme. The illustration of Strength is the white robed woman wearing garlands (She got them from the Ace of Pentacles trellis there.) and an infinity sign is over her head like a halo.  She is a spiritual adept, a saint if you will.  The lion wanted to attack her, but she has charmed him so much that she has shut his mouth and made him purr while she pets him.  Her influence is that powerful.  No one will fight her. The Two of Wands also speaks of influence and success and money.  Finance and banking, financial outlook, ownership of real estate.  It speaks of a sure thing and future or long term, future money especially.  He is feeling mighty powerful looking out over the community he owns and planning what he will do with this investment.  The card often supplies the word ‘will’ or ‘in the future’ or ‘certain’ as in a sure thing.  It speaks of financial security and investments that are solid. Lastly is the Six of Pentacles, which shows a financial exchange, someone paying people who, of course, are being paid – fairly, a fair price.  The scales of justice in the illustration express this ‘fair’ part.  We are not talking about court proceedings today.  Sitting next to the Two of Wands, the Six of Pentacles bespeaks a person who is wealthy, has money.  He is paying his bills.

This is his big romance, he feels powerful

Hanged Man King of Swords, Knight of Pentacles, Six of Cups

Romance Perspective: Intense romance with a VIP who has eyes only for her. He’s got it in his head to be both manly and macho, in order for her to be the sweet little gal. Realizes being romantic and being the man’s man is the priority. He senses that him being powerful is the one thing that makes her romantic. He smells this being an old-fashioned romance:  him being one thing – the leader. Military man is so tough, she is so innocent: a meeting of minds. This is his big romance, he feels powerful. He knows the one most cherished romantic gift a man could give his beloved. Two guys who are intensely in love.

Practical Perspective: These two men’s-men trust one another instinctively. Father feels intensely, sees her an a naïve kid (naif). Realizes the commanding officer sees him as a softie. He is strongly psychic especially about the past. He remembers his childhood, focusing on his father. Well, after I did the messages that were about money and not love, I asked specifically about love for you.  Aren’t I nice?  And here is what we came up with:  that your fellow is thinking romantic thoughts about you, feeling strongly that he should be manly if he wants you to be sweet to him.  Feeling ‘she is the one’ intensely.  Realizing being many is a good thing for romance.

Meanings and Illustrations:

King of Swords: The commanding officer, the manly man, the powerful man, the authority.  In the illustration, he sits tall and straight, looking straight at you, weapon is his hand.  A leader or VIP.  Next to the children card, the Six of Cups, he is definitely daddy.

Knight of Pentacles: The short tough guy from a rough neighborhood, stereotypically.  Muscles.  Love the way his horse has the same look!  ‘He has one thing on his mind’ is a frequent meaning.  Concentration, knowing one thing, focusing on one thing, sees one thing. He can be obsessive, the way he is staring at that pentacle object.

Hanged Man: Here is an echo of the ‘knowing’ theme in the previous Rider Waite Tarot card.  The Hanged Man means ‘realize,’ and ‘to sense,’ ‘to feel strongly,’ and to be psychic – usually to receive.  It brings up the word ‘intense’ at times.

Its illustration in the Rider Waite pantheon shows energy emanating from his head as he hangs upside down – the way you feel when a whiff of psychic realization hits you, that the world is upside down.
