Upright Meaning

A gray-haired merchant sails through a snowstorm to escape from his hometown with his wealth. This person is neither friendly nor generous. He has drained everything to the last drop from his family and his surroundings, and ultimately found himself alone with the cold. This Arcana represents a successful person who, however, has not used their success to become happy. Good parents teach their children generosity from an early age, and now is the time to return to these roots. The time has come to show selflessness, generosity, and learn to value the people around you.

Reversed Meaning

Someone is using you for their own interests. Perhaps you need systematic support for those who want to reach great heights. However, they will not reciprocate, but rather abandon you when they achieve their goals. Your talents are not appreciated, and consequently - there is pain. This could be someone close to you or even yourself, because you took your talents for granted.
