From the Tarot of the Master, the Knight of Coins; from the Paracelsus Oracle, 'Fortuna Major:'
The Knight of Coins has been given the keyword 'responsibility' because of his dependable nature and hard work ethic. He could teach America a thing or two, as its citizens have become enamored of their rights but conveniently forgotten they come attached to responsibilities. Fortuna Major means 'greater fortune,' and in this particular card, it is associated with good fortune that arrives through aid or philanthropy. These draws seem like illustrations for the writings of the philosopher Maimonides on charity:
the most meritorious of all, is to anticipate charity by preventing poverty, namely, to assist the reduced brother, either by a considerable gift or loan of money, or by teaching him a trade, or by putting him in the way of business, so that he may earn an honest livelihood and not be forced to the dreadful alternative of holding up his hand for charity. . .
