King of Disks

The king of disks is the very picture of financial abundance as a result of hard work paying off, and continuing to make money for you. But there’s more to this king than that.





The king is pictured not only sitting on his throne but also in the illusive castle that is in the background of many of the tarot cards. He has made it to the castle and we can assume he is the king of it. His consistent dedicated action brought him great material rewards, and he knows how to continue making his money and prosperous nature work for him. His throne is covered in vines and grapes, two bulls heads adorning the time and two on the arm rests, symbols of strength and the ability to push through tough situations. A suit of armor peeks out from under his stately robes, also decorated in fruit and vines, letting us know that he is a master of strategy and courage. He is not afraid to do something he knows to be right, regardless of the feedback of others. In his hands he holds a gold disk and a scepter, signs of wealth and rank, further supporting his right place at the throne. Although he has worked so hard and is now enjoying the fruits of his labor, it’s almost as if he’s holding on way too tightly to everything like he’s afraid to let go of what he’s worked so hard for.

This card in a reading is a sign that you are about to receive all of the abundance you so rightfully worked for and deserve. While it can represent a person coming into your life who embodies the king of disk qualities, it can also represent that you are the king and that you are reaping rewards! It is also a warning to be generous with what comes your way. That’s not to say spend it all or give it all away, but perhaps find a cause or charity to help those less fortunate or to support the environment, etc. Ultimately, the money is coming and as long as you continue on, it will as well. Do not hoard, fear or fret. You deserve this!

11: Justice

Image
The 11th card in the major arcana is Justice and within many clues are provided to its meaning and purpose in a reading.. let’s take a look.. Our initial glance at the card we sees woman dressed in red robes symbolizing connection with successfully manifesting in the material world, a crown signifying her authority both in spirit and material worlds. Justice is of course holding her scales symbolizing her part in karmic justice and the weighing of deeds, and her sword represents the clarity of vision and connection to intuition needed to weigh all things carefully. She sits on a chair between two pillars, with a red cloth hiding what is beyond her judgment. The two pillars are reminiscent of the High Priestess card, where the querent must earn the right to traverse beyond the boundaries of the known, into the realm of the teachings of the Goddess and esoteric mystery schools. The justice card is showing us that karma is coming around the corner. The law of balance and karma, what goes ...

16: The Tower

Image
The Tower card right after the Devil card always feels a little overwhelming! There is a good reason the Tower follows the Devil and why it, like the Devil is not at all as scary as it first seems to be…   On the card we see a giant tower being struck by a bolt of lightning which blows the giant crown shaped roof off of the tower and sets it ablaze. We see fire coming out from the top and the windows and a man and a woman falling out of the windows. They both have blue and red items of clothing on symbolizing material desires and intuitive connection. Their faces are filled with fear and surprise which makes sense considering the circumstance. One may ask why didn’t they just attempt to leave the tower if they had an idea a storm was coming, instead of possibly falling to their death as a result of an inevitable strike of lightning causing them to leap? If you look closely, you see there is no door on the tower. They had no way to leave, besides the window. These two built a tower ...

14: Temperance

 Major Arcana 14 is Temperance. Such a truly perfect card to come after the death card! An angel blessing us with impartial waters of life, or something else? Let’s go! There is an awful lot going on in this card but the first thing that catches our eye is this seemingly divine figure pouring water between two golden cups. Dressed in a white gown with beautiful red wings, we see a theme that repeats itself over and over in this card. White being heavenly/holy/pure and red being material/carnal/passion, we recognize this being as a balance between spiritual and material aspects of reality/existence. With one foot in the water and one on land we see the same theme, material and spiritual repeated, and we can assume from this theme the two cups passing water back and forth also have to do with the importance of existing in the material and spiritual realms. For each realm gives us different perspectives and values that must be used simultaneously for us to transcend the disconnection ...
