Key phrase

True success isn't just about money — it's about happiness, too.

Upright meaning

"Magical morning, isn't it? Go on—have a look inside & pay whatever you please on the way out," the king says, cheerful as can be, as you approach their quaint little jewelry shop. They've had many jobs in their lifetime, but nothing makes them happier than this one, though it can get rather tedious. This card can represent an adult (or someone at any stage in life) who has an abundance of money & resources, & they use it to sustain a lifestyle they love & cherish. Just as well, they use whatever they can spare to provide for all the people around them, fully believing that they aren't successful until their community is taken care of—an admirable way of thinking!

Reversed meaning

Though this person is successful, they may be using their status in self-serving ways—giving only when it benefits them, or only to make it seem like they're a good person. Actively avoid being this kind of person & avoid dealings with this person, if possible.
