Ace of Disks
Bounty, New Financial Opportunity
There is enough for everyone, despite what many would have you believe. Seeds sown with compassion, attention and care will produce a bounty of love and comfort. Take what you need and share the rest with others. Hoarding resources will only make them rot and poison those trying to hold on to them. You have to give to receive and eventually what you put out will return to you. And if a new financial opportunity should present itself, proceed with caution but don't ignore it - it may be worth your while.
King of Disks
Hardworking, Shrewd, Good Provider
A savvy, successful businessman who strives to remain ethical in an uncompromising system. The King is always thinking about what’s best for those he's responsible for and wants to provide it. He’s modest about his accomplishments and doesn’t feel successful unless others around him are, too. He knows there's no "I" in "teamwork" and expects others to do their fair share.
Queen of Disks
Nurturing, Parental, Compassionate
Home is where the Queen’s heart is and she does her best to make it a safe, nurturing refuge. She knows success is built upon a solid foundation and works to provide the proper environment for her loved ones to thrive. She'll gladly share her wisdom and can be a valuable source of information. Just don't disrespect her home.
Prince of Disks
Entrepreneur, Risk Taking
The Prince wants to make his own fortune and is generally too proud to ask for help. Determined yet flexible, he can roll with the punches and knows not to rest on his laurels. The Prince knows there’s no reward without risk but he won’t go into it blindly. Good with money and always willing to share his knowledge so that others can succeed, too.
Princess of Disks
Self-Assured, Savvy
Capable and confident, the Princess can rely on herself to get things done. Shrewd and a bit frugal, but generous with her loved ones and the causes she champions. Wise to the ways of the world, she’s nobody’s fool. Knowing what she wants out of life has provided her with a path towards fulfillment she believes can be attained through her own hard work and merits.
2 of Disks
Balancing Act
Life is complicated, to say the least. Society demands a lot from us, everyone is vying for our attention (and our money). There's so much to do just to feel like you're surviving, much less thriving. But don't let yourself be pulled in every direction. Prioritize what's worth expending the energy on and organize your tasks. But don't forget to prioritize yourself - you're of no use to anyone if you're burnt out and barely able to function.
3 of Disks
Formation, Building
Success in any endeavor starts with a plan. Especially a well thought out and organized one. Make sure you know what you're doing before you even begin. As the saying goes, "Measure twice, cut once."
4 of Disks
Foundation, Solidity
Every building needs a solid foundation. Without one the structure is unstable and likely to collapse. Life can feel like that. That's why it's important to give yourself a proper foundation from which to build your life, career, project or whatever it is you've set out to create. Progress may not go as quickly as you'd like, but it's better to make sure you're doing it right. You'll thank yourself later.
5 of Disks
Stress, Burden, Overwhelmed
Existence is painful. Despite our best efforts to keep it together we all get flustered or, at worst, feel absolutely defeated. Stress is unpleasant but it forces us to grow and adapt. Remember that pain is a warning that something is wrong. It's not a state we're always meant to be in. Figure out what the message pain is sending you and do something about it.
6 of Disks
Balanced Life, Comfort
If you stop to reflect on your life, you're probably doing better than you realize. Take an honest look at where you're at, it may surprise you to see how good you have it! Don't let the stress of everyday life cloud your vision and practice gratitude for what you have right now.
7 of Disks
Doing the Work, Acquisition
As The Magician already told you, The Universe will only meet you half way. You have to do the work. Thinking and dreaming are only the first step. Continue on the path, even when it becomes challenging. Because anything worth having is worth fighting for. Plant and cultivate those seeds. Put your nose to the grindstone and eventually your efforts will pay off.
8 of Disks
Patience
You've planned, prepared, planted the seeds and now there's nothing left to do but allow Nature to take its course. Let it flow and don't try to force the outcome. All things happen in their time. Allow yourself a brief respite, knowing that you've done your best and that success is coming - just be patient.
9 of Disks
Wealth, Gain
It's time to reap the fruits of your labors. You've done the work, you've waited for the pay off and it's finally happened. But remember that wealth can be measured in more than just money and material things. Friendship, family, love, these are all riches that we can have and will almost always appreciate in value.
10 of Disks
Completion, Ending
The work is done. You've achieved your goal or obtained that which you desired. And now what? How do you feel now that you've gotten what you wanted?
