RICH FANTASIES

This man is lucky enough to have money, and all the trappings of wealth. However he also needs to be careful that he doesn’t lose what he has. You may come across him when there is a significant financial or business turning point in his life. And the connection may be personal or purely cash-based.

He is ungrounded. He may appear to have both feet on the ground but there is a part of him which finds it hard to settle, and to truly commit to plans. He may not be fully conscious of this trait in himself, but there is an aspect of his nature which is purely escapist. He literally longs to escape.

It is this inability to plant himself or his investment on solid ground that puts him at risk of wasting his money, or even having it conveniently removed by other people. You are almost duty bound to bring this man back to the real world, if you have his best interests at heart. He may need a reality check.

If the issue for you is about a purchase, sale, trade or deal then you will have to get it in writing, in great detail, and work very hard to make him see things as they really are. This person is unfocussed. And although this may not be an issue – if alcohol or drugs are in the picture, his concentration will dip further.

If you intend pursuing paperwork or promises with this man you also need to understand that he is substituting other kinds of soul satisfaction (relationships, creative fulfillment, inspiration) with cash. This may explain the intense psychological hold a particular sum or money or asset has on him.

Can he change? Yes. One wake-up call and he can shake himself out of his current dreamlike state and actually do something sensible with his assets. There is tremendous potential here for him to double his money – or better, use it to found something substantial and long-lasting.

Present

TAKING RISKS

When you take a risk, there is always a chance that something will go wrong.  So why go ahead without a back-up plan? Perhaps having any kind of safety measure gets in the way of your spontaneity. And maybe you are right not to care about having a safety net. Where is the thrill in being too cautious?

The problem with blindly taking a leap into the unknown is that there are no guarantees. If things go wrong because you have not taken the appropriate measures to safeguard yourself, you may not always be able to rely on others to help you. Not everyone may be sympathetic – or even able to assist.

The reality of leading a spontaneous, carefree existence is that sooner or later you will find yourself dealing with anything from a minor annoyance to a real problem. Perhaps you believe you are capable of dealing with any issues as they come up. If so, you had better be quite sure of this.

There is a lot to admire (and perhaps envy) in people who can not only take a big leap into the unknown, and get away with. People who succeed in living like this are not only free spirits, they can also seem heroic. In fact, even their failures can seem glorious.

So if this is what you believe – then why not take the risk?

A good question to ask here (if you are asking about the present or the future) is ‘What are the stakes involved?’ If the most you’re going to lose is very small indeed, then perhaps it’s worth trading security for spontaneity, excitement and adventure. Only you can weigh all the factors and make a decision.

Just one final point. Are you in denial? Are you deliberately blinding yourself to the risks? If you suspect this is happening, try to find out why you’re doing it. You need to understand your own motivation better. This may allow you to see this risky situation in a completely different light.

Future

CHECKING SUPPLY

Abundance is a wonderful thing. There is nothing quite like the freedom and comfort of knowing that you have more than enough. The Star card in The Tarot shows this. A kneeling woman with a large jug of water is supplying a pool, while water spills out into smaller pools all around her. This is the Aquarian dream, of enough for everybody (more than enough) and perhaps you have a factor in Aquarius under transit, if this card appears, or there is an Aquarian transit around you (like Jupiter, Saturn or Pluto in Aquarius, for example).

Check the supply. It is limited. There is a feeling here that one can be carefree about pooling resources with other people, or ensuring there is enough to go around. The need for vigilance is high, though. Waste can occur if resources are not checked and monitored. There may be a need to delegate here. In fact, it’s fairly certain that one person alone (yourself?) cannot organise everything, particularly if the issue is money, or produce. You can trust to luck, or the Universe, or God – if you wish. The reality is that some life gardening is required. This takes teamwork even if it’s just one other person who comes in to assist, now.

While we can assume that nature takes care of herself and that resources (excess resources) will find their way into the right place, and that new sources will spring up all around, it is also true that mess and muddle can result if things are just left to flow everywhere, all the time. This card may also suggest Neptune by transit, or transits to natal Neptune. The potential is vast, with this card. Wonderful things can happen. It takes one supply, or one abundant source, for bigger results to take hold. The idea of feeding, nurturing and generously endowing – is strong here. A sharp eye and an objective observer (and helping hand) is useful.
