Alright, so I decided to dive into this whole tarot thing, specifically trying to figure out these “signs of financial wealth” everyone on the internet talks about. My wallet was feeling pretty light, you know? So I thought, what the heck, let’s see if some fancy cards can point me towards the money tree.
I got myself a deck – nothing too fancy, just a standard Rider-Waite. Then I started pulling cards. Every morning, I’d shuffle and pull a few, specifically asking about my financial situation or any upcoming opportunities. I wasn’t just doing one-card pulls; sometimes I’d try small three-card spreads – past, present, future of my money, that kind of thing. I kept a little notebook, jotting down the cards I got and then what actually happened, especially if it was money-related.
Now, everyone says Pentacles are the money cards. So, naturally, I was always hyped when I saw those.
- The Ace of Pentacles? Supposed to be a new financial opportunity. Yeah, I got that a few times. Once, it showed up right before I landed a small freelance gig, which was pretty cool. Another time, it popped up just before my rent went up. So, “opportunity” to pay more, I guess.
- The Ten of Pentacles – that’s the big one, right? Family wealth, security, all that jazz. I saw it maybe twice in months. One time, nothing major happened. The other time, I got an unexpected tax refund. Not life-changing, but hey, I wasn’t complaining. It wasn’t exactly the “riches” I’d read about, more like a small bonus.
- Other Pentacles, like the Knight or Queen, they often just seemed to reflect me thinking about money or trying to be responsible, not necessarily cash flowing in.
Then there were other cards people mentioned. The Sun card, for instance. Supposed to be all joy and abundance. I did get it when I closed a decent project and got paid. But I also got it when I just had a really good day, totally unrelated to money. So, it felt more like general good vibes, not specifically a cash cow.
The Wheel of Fortune was another one. Oh boy. That card just seemed to mean “stuff’s gonna happen!” Sometimes it was good financial news, like a client paying early. Other times, it was an unexpected bill. It really just felt like life being unpredictable, which, well, no kidding.
What I started to notice after a few months of this was that it wasn’t usually one single “magic card” that accurately predicted a windfall. It was more about the overall feel of the cards I pulled. If I saw a lot of proactive cards, like Wands (especially the Ace of Wands or the Eight of Wands), alongside some Pentacles, it often meant I was out there hustling, and then, yeah, money would follow because of the effort. It wasn’t just sitting back and waiting for the Ten of Pentacles to manifest a lottery win.
Sometimes, cards that weren’t “money cards” at all gave me the best financial insights. Like the Emperor showing up, which I took as a sign to get my budget in order, be more disciplined. Or Temperance, reminding me to find balance and maybe not splurge so much. Those felt more practical, like actual advice rather than a prediction.
So, after all this “practice,” what’s my big takeaway on tarot signs of financial wealth? Well, for me, tarot isn’t a magical ATM. Shocker, right? It didn’t directly show me where to find a pot of gold. Instead, it was more like a mirror reflecting my own state of mind about money, or highlighting areas where I needed to put in actual work. The “signs” were more like nudges or themes to consider. If I saw a bunch of Pentacles, it might encourage me to focus on my finances that day, look for opportunities, or appreciate what I had. But the actual getting of the wealth? That still came down to good old-fashioned effort and a bit of luck, cards or no cards.
