Keywords
Poverty and Isolation
Despite the card's depiction of poverty amidst general prosperity, it also speaks to self-isolation. Although golden pentacles hang on the bare branches of the poplar tree, the woman thinks only of her empty purse. Loneliness in the cold is juxtaposed with the warm light from the stone circle. Hidden things will soon become obvious, and feelings of isolation and need are temporary.
Unexpected Expenses
Unexpected expenses are likely, so it's prudent to set aside funds for emergencies. This card can foresee a move to an unfamiliar place needing adaptation and making friends, or the possibility of being unnoticed or ignored in aspirations for promotion or salary increase.
Challenging Circumstances
Circumstances might not be favorable, or money might be in short supply, but changes requiring patience are on the horizon. The card advises caution regarding finances, avoiding lending money to those who might not repay on time or at all, and refraining from giving expensive gifts to those who won't appreciate them.
Symbols
The poplar tree on the card implies problems, losses, and the need for financial protection. The lizard living in the tree hollow symbolizes fears and losses.
Meaning
Unexpected expenses, financial worries, delays, temporary material instability, feelings of isolation, dissatisfaction with the status quo, useless work, and negative trends will eventually lose relevance.
Reversed Meaning
Overcoming difficulties, relief, courage in seeking hidden opportunities.
Key Words
Financial worries, unexpected expenses.
