Four of Coins
+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+
A
crowned, robed figure sits in front of a walled city. He holds
one coin and another three sit at his feet. A basket is beside
him, and in the background some mounted ladies meet at a gate.
He holds a book open on his lap.
My
Interpretation: As
if by magic.
This
is a card of wealth, or at least a windfall - but be suspicious
of materialism. Monetary gain at the expense of others may lead
to emotional bankruptcy, and inheritance often involves the
loss of a loved one. Greed or shortsightedness may mean a loss
of all gained - so take care not to lose sight of that which
is truly important.
(Reversed:
Financial misfortune, failure when tested)
Edit
notes: Maybe
my interpretation of this card is too negative because of my
own distrust of materialism - I should consider a more traditionally
positive interpretation of the materialist meaning of this card.
The pic at least is quite happy :^)
By
the way is it just me, or does that character look just like
Queen Elizabeth II?
I've
changed images from my v1.0 version
to suit Rider Waite readers more.
