From the Alchemical Tarot Renewed, the Lady of Coins; from the Oracle of the Radiant Sun, Eccentricity (Saturn in Aquarius):
Everything depends on the color of the crystal through which one sees it.
– Pedro Calderón de la Barca
In Place's Tarot deck, the Ladies are not Pages but the married partner of a Knight. The Lady of Coins appreciates beauty, whether out in nature or as a patron of the arts. Her message is to be grateful for the loveliness and wonder around us - to take time out from collecting stuff and start spending time appreciating all that surrounds us. Eccentricity combines the airy vision of Aquarius with the grounded pragmatism of Saturn. What would happen if our idea of beauty expanded, if we saw beyond society's view? We'd have a lot more to enjoy and be awed by.
