Upright

This is one of the happiest cards in the deck: it announces abundance, financial security, and a stability that reaches into the future. What it represents may be financial, but it can also be a settled family, a professional reputation, or a project that reaches its goal after real effort. The essential thing is that what you've won is solid and lasting, meant as a long-term legacy. And it carries a message of gratitude: true fulfillment appears when you share what you have with others.

Love
A time of solidity and commitment: living together, marriage, children, a relationship that settles in peace and without money conflicts. If you're single, an important love is drawing near, possibly one who's financially comfortable.
Work
Progress of every kind: promotions, raises, recognition, and the successful close of projects. If you're job hunting, you'll land it, and it'll be better than you expected.
Money
A resounding yes to any financial question; investments and savings that grow, even luck in games of chance. Save, but also enjoy and share.
Health
Calm and optimism that show in the body; full vitality. Any ailment evolves in a favorable direction.
Spirituality
Material abundance leaves you room to deepen your inner life; don't neglect it. Sharing and giving thanks is your way of giving back.
Reversed

Reversed, the picture of the prosperous family distorts: the bond weakens and overall progress suffers. It often turns up in family financial crises, divorces where everything comes down to splitting assets, or partnerships and businesses that fall apart. It's a worrying card, but not a final one: since everything is cyclical, the wheel that's down today will rise again. In another reading, it points to someone who has it all yet feels empty and bored, the "sadness of those who have too much," a call to value and be grateful for what you already hold.

Love
Doubts about the future of the relationship, often from a lack of financial security or from routine and boredom. If you're single, a time to seek only fun without commitments.
Work
A risk of cutbacks, pay cuts, or even job loss; bad ideas about switching jobs on a whim. Be wary of scams and false offers.
Money
Great caution: ventures that fail, investments that fall through, lent money that doesn't come back. It's not the time to expand or take risks; save and wait for better days.
Health
Stress and physical and mental fatigue, poor sleep, digestive trouble, even anguish. Balance your meals and exercise to sleep better.
Spirituality
Anger at yourself, at others, and at life for feeling that everything has abandoned you. Find your inner peace again by meditating and remembering that everything passes.
