“…The Devil is neither good nor bad; it simply represents a development phase. However, if a businessman draws the card in answer to a statement, “Give me a deeper insight into my business relations with so and so,” then, putting it mildly, he needs to stop and think about his readiness to take advantage of the other party. In which connection, I would say that some situations in life bring people on your path who can “release” certain forms of behaviour in you, through which you get to know your shadow better (and even to integrate it) by confronting the more uncivilized side of yourself.”
Karen Hamaker-Zondag, Tarot as a Way of Life 1997

Love, Wealth & Health Most Common Concerns Since Antiquity

Love, wealth and health are the most common questions asked of psychics. In fact, the whole impetus behind “fortune telling” is seeded in the pursuit of “tell me my fortune”. In connection to this, is the whole sibling type relationship between “gaming” and “fortune telling”. That’s still true today.  The language has shifted to be “career”, “financial security & investment” (yet gambling opportunities are more prevalent today than ever before with the “masses” participation in stock markets, buying on property on “spec”, collections of “antiques” and lotteries).

The connection between “love and money” represents the key opposites represented in the Tarot between “spirituality and the material plane”.

Challenged to Put Power Back in Hands of Client

What I offer is a spiritual perspective, and hopefully a mindful appreciation of present abundance, and an ethical perspective on need versus desire. I use my intuition, discretion, and past experience in doing these readings. I work to put power back in the hands of my clients, and remember some key issues with respect to money and career.

Money: Money is a worldly manifestation of energy.  It is a collectively contracted and acknowledged manifestation of effort, smarts, privilege, status, ability, superiority, recognition, appreciation, security, power and righteousness. Money is a BIG symbol and having it or not leads to collective perceptions related to and reflective of enormous, secret and sacred emotional issues.

Money is energy which can counted in a number format allowing for ease of agreement and negotiation. Money hooks into a universal language of units of exchange. I give you this for that. Period. Yes or no.

Money is MATTER and MOTHER. Our relationship to MONEY in other words will be reflective of our relationship to MOTHER. Nurturance, abundance, appreciation, with-holding-ness, generosity.

From an identity perspective money affects our identity through status.

When a client asks, “Will my money situation improve?” They are asking, “Will the energy I bring into myself exceed that energy I am expending?

I always ask if they have a reason to expect this to be so – Ie: inheritance, a raise at work, a legal or insurance settlement…if they say no, then I ask if they have a reason to believe their expenditures (output) will be reduced ie. Paying off a mortgage, car or other sort of loan, kid leaving home or graduating (finally!) or some other drain on their energy will get resolved. If they say no to that too. Then what are they asking the oracle really?

I am prying to determine if they have asked a question to support their magical illusions (ie. Winning a lottery) or if indeed they are asking me a serious question.

More Helpful Questions for Clients to Ask Their Psychic About Money

What are my chances of succeeding?
Why do I keep losing?
Will I be successful someday?
What is my TRUE career path (which is REALLY what is my “doing” purpose here on the planet?
When will I hear whether I was the successful candidate?
Have they been honest with me?
Will I have to move or leave this area for my dream career?

Psychology of Money

I always try to determine what you are really asking when you ask financial questions. I search for the statement beneath the question, such as, “I am afraid I’m going to be a total failure and live in abject poverty and no one will love me and I’ll live on cat food for the rest of my days”.

Our relationship to this energy called money mirrors our relationship with ourselves. It symbolizes our relationship with the world around us – how we think others see us, what we believe we are worthy of. Our beliefs about money and career embody our thoughts about how we feel the universe nurtures us and supports us.

Notions such as doing what I want to do can’t also bring abundance materially. In other words, they can’t expect payment on both fronts.

Daring to take a risk re money and career brings us face to face with whatever is going on within ourselves, for better or for worse. It brings up our hopes about survival, our fears of loss (Death).
