Prudent Approach

From the Via Tarot, the Princess (Page) of Disks; from the Nature's Pharmacy deck, 'Chicory:'

          The Princess of Disks, elementally the Earth of Earth, could be represented by the word embodiment - a tangible form of an idea, quality, or feeling. Her staff points downward because she is like an electrical grounding rod. She believes in what can be proven through material evidence. Ideals and plans aren't worth much to her unless they are manifested in the real world. Chicory's root has a history of being roasted and ground to be used as a coffee substitute, especially during hard economic times. Coffee made with chicory tends to have a more bitter taste, while the more expensive Arabica coffee has caffeine, a pleasant aroma, and a smoother flavor. Together with the Princess of Disks, these cards imply a prudent approach. Instead of wants, focusing on needs would be more appropriate.

When I was young, people lived from paycheck to paycheck. Today, it seems like they live from credit card payment to credit card payment. ~Robert Kiyosaki
