From the Alchemical Renewed Tarot, the Ten of Coins:
Here is the Lord of Wealth; he's made it his life's purpose to build an empire so that he can live in luxury and have the power to do as he desires. He has money on his mind all the time - how to make more and how to keep from losing any he has. But now that he's old and has more money than he knows what to do with, has he really found joy? I'm sure his toys and trips bring fleeting bouts of happiness, but it never lasts; he's still left with a hole in his soul. He has people who want to share his wealth, but they don't really care for him at all (he's a bit like Donald Trump). All his efforts have been focused on the material instead of on relationships. At this stage in his life, I bet he would pay five hundred bucks just to have a cup of coffee and an honest heart-to-heart with just one trustworthy person...
From the Oracle of the Radiant Sun comes "Fulfilment:"
Saturn (ambition) in Sagittarius (optimism, adventure)
A man sits on a dock with a bag of money beside him and a talisman of good fortune overhead. He waits for the ship to take him abroad to expand his assets. While this card indicates success in business, it warns against a self-righteous attitude that tramples over others while going after a goal. Ian Percy stated, "We judge others by their behavior. We judge ourselves by our intentions." It's easy to rationalize bad behavior when I only look at my objective instead of the all the not-so-nice things I might do to reach it. Today I will try to turn this around and focus more on my actions.
