Hello, my soul friends! I have a psychic tarot reading today on your financial health. This will help you diagnose your current wealth trajectory.
To receive your message from the universe, pick one of the piles above using your intuition.
After you select your cards, scroll down to your pile or choose below.
For this reading, I’ve chosen the Gilded Tarot deck. Remember that you have free will. That means you can manifest the positive and avoid the negative of any reading. Remember to double-check any financial advice with your own research or the counsel of a financial advisor.
Now let’s dig into your financial health.
Pile 1: Metal
On the Verge
You’re on the verge of making a great financial choice, but you aren’t ready to commit to it yet. The Knight of Swords, Reversed is about not taking action, and the Ace of Swords, Reversed is about rejecting a new plan.
This could be due to the Seven of Pentacles. You have multiple financial options in front of you, or will soon, and realize not everything is going to work out. It is possible to make a very right decision or a very wrong one.
Something to consider is the model people are often recommended to follow when investing in the stock market. You’re meant to make riskier investments when you’re younger, but as you near retirement age, you need to change your investments to safer stocks or even begin transferring money out of the stock market to more stable options like treasury bonds.
A Mental Exercise
Using that model to your advantage in general, not just when it comes to the stock market, consider your age right now and then divide the rest of your life into major life stages. You may find it helpful to write this down, but dwelling on it in meditation is fine.
Someone who is young or without children can take much riskier job opportunities or even start over completely. But if you do have financial dependents or you’re at the later end of your life, you’ll want to be more cautious unless you have a financial nest egg to rely on.
That said, you can take some risks. An example I often give is that of a middle-aged parent who realizes they want to be an actor. Contrary to popular opinion, the answer isn’t to give up.
One option is to move to Los Angeles, get a good job with flexible hours like nursing, and aim for character roles or commercials. That doesn’t mean they can’t go for bigger roles, but trying to pursue what’s unlikely in a more cautious manner is a good compromise.
Consider what you need to do at each life stage to pursue what you want or to earn what you want in a reasonable way. The older you get, the more you’ll need to compromise. But compromise doesn’t mean giving up. It just means taking fewer risks.
The Good Ahead of You
There’s a lot of happy news in this spread. It shows you are being cautious and not pursuing things impulsively. You just haven’t yet accepted that nothing in life is 100% risk-free.
That said, the Seven of Pentacles is the happy promise that what you put effort in long-term is likely to reap a bountiful harvest. You’re just going to have to be like a farmer and accept some of what you harvest will be a dud.
So you may want to spread your expectations a little bit further than a narrow goal. Be okay with it being a little different from your vision and you’ll be happy with the result.
The idiom of “shoot for the moon, because if you miss, you’ll land among the stars” is apt here. Maybe you won’t get 100% of what you want financially in life… but you’re going to be happy regardless. Just don’t be scared to invest in yourself.
That could be a job, a financial plan, or even a monetizable hobby. Heck, maybe some of you will marry into money!
Just go in the direction you want with some cautious planning.

What Could Happen
Things will go wrong if you don’t listen to your intuition according to The High Priestess. In particular, the Ten of Swords, which is about ruin or being backstabbed, is paired with the Wheel of Fortune, Reversed, a loss of fortune.
There are two possible meanings. The first is that you may be betrayed by someone close to you or at least influenced in such a way that it hurts you.
The second is that you try to follow the advice that works for other people, but it blows up in your face.
Of course, we’re going to prevent that entirely if possible, so let’s dig in.
Trust Yourself
The thing about financial health is that exceptions exist. You appear to be one of these exceptions. Standard advice seems to apply so well for most people, but it’s going to fall flat for you in a serious way.
You need to pay attention to your gut instinct more when it comes to relationships and actions that have serious and especially financial consequences. Of course, you should always back any intuitive guess with research or double-checking, but don’t just ignore that sense you feel in the future.
That’s because intuition is both spiritual and actual. Aside from the spiritual effects, we take in a lot of data. Sometimes that data is non-traditional or not backed by expert opinion. Because in your situation, you’re the expert.
A famous example of this is on 9/11. Rick Rescorla was the head of security of Morgan Stanley in the South Tower. He believed the towers would be attacked again after the first attack in 1993 (which he also predicted) despite what was then the American bravado that we could never be seriously targeted and skyscrapers could not fall. Because of this, he made the office do multiple evacuation drills that were timed. Many people ridiculed him for this.
During that unfortunate day, officials told the workers to stay in the building when the North Building was hit. He ignored this advice and immediately evacuated his company’s employees. Mid-evacuation, the South Tower that his company was in was hit (and their offices were just a few floors from the plane). But because they had already made so much progress evacuating, experts believed that almost 2,700 lives were saved that probably would’ve been lost. He went back into the building to help even more evacuations, but he sadly died when the tower fell (it was the first).
Now he wasn’t psychic, but he had a wealth of personal experiences that contributed to his uncanny intuition. Because he didn’t ignore that, even if it wasn’t based on the standard model everyone else was operating from, so many people lived who wouldn’t have.
Don’t ignore your intuition – work with it. It’s reacting to a spread of data that you’re interpreting that other people may not have access to or understand the same way.
Consider Your Exceptions
Everyone is unique, but sometimes a person’s unique qualities result in a radically different approach to life. On paper or in your head, list off all the ways that you’re different or go against standard life expectations.
Maybe you had kids young, didn’t have kids at all, love to travel and don’t want to buy a house, are in a job that you’ll need to retire from in your fifties, and so on. Then pair those unique qualities with research into how to make them work. ChatGPT could be good here, but if the result is showing some serious divergences from the norm, you may want to find some non-standard advice or seek the expertise of a professional who understands your differences.
For example, let’s say you want to live a digital nomad lifestyle. You’re probably going to need to consult a tax professional with knowledge of international laws and have radically different banking and investment structures than anyone else you know. Reading articles from other digital nomads will also be enlightening.
But being different is fine. Trusting your intuition is key. It’ll help you live the life you want without having to do what everyone else does that you don’t want to do.

Pile 3: Mountain
Trust Your Heart
I’m really liking your spread because it seems to be only good news. The King of Wands is a card of passion mastery and the Knight of Wands is acting on that passion. Meanwhile, The Hermit is about secluding yourself and finding enlightenment.
I see this as a clear indication that you need to check in with your desires in life and make sure your finances reflect that.
You’re more skilled at your passion than you even realize and have the ability to make money with it. That said, that mastery still requires some refinement.
In other words: if you aren’t already pursuing a job or financial goal you’re passionate about, you should start. If you’re in progress, it’s time to tidy things up a bit so you can be truly successful at your manifestation.
Make It Normal
When you really care about something, you tend to financially prioritize it. Someone who really wants a house and is passionate about buying a house will make personal sacrifices in saving or finding a better job to make it happen.
And if someone really cared about a particular job, they’d be okay with making a little less money to pursue it. Perhaps their passion will lead to higher income in the future.
I think about creatives here. Those who are willing to live an economically lower-class life in the beginning have a much better chance of sustaining their creative endeavors in the long term. But those who look at their bank accounts and weep tend to give up. Their passion isn’t greater than their fear of poverty. So they never take the career risks that are necessary to make it work.
Understand that you have a much greater stomach for personal sacrifice than most people. You just need to be in that passionate mode beforehand. You can’t be unsure if you really care about something or not.
So don’t act on your passion because you think you might love something. It should feel like a compulsion. Like the artist who can’t imagine life without painting.
If you aren’t there yet, it isn’t because you can’t be. It’s that you haven’t spent enough time in that passion as a hobby, or if it’s a financial attainment like a house, truly envisioning it as possible.
For those whose passions aren’t hobbies, try to acquaint yourself with it more. Live in an apartment and want a house? Rent an Airbnb in a suburban area for a few days each year. Want to get involved in the stock market? Research and then set aside a small amount each month or each year to invest in a company and then follow the stock market. Perhaps you could even play one of the stock market simulation games if you’re short on cash.
Fan the Flames
Just remember that passion burns out and fizzles out if the fire isn’t tended to. Those who have great passions sometimes forget this and let the trials of life or the monotony of daily tasks drown out what makes what they love meaningful. Passion is always a chase.
This happens a lot with actors and singers. They reach the pinnacle of success and have nowhere else to go so they start equating anything new, which is usually paparazzi or media attention, as negative. They get stuck in a rut and despair.
Those who are able to overcome this take on projects that are different from their brand. Lady Gaga, a pop superstar, chose to pursue acting in films on the side and even recorded a jazz collaboration with Tony Bennett. You really get the sense she always finds a way to fall in love with music.
Reinvent yourself if you have a passion. Financial achievement like a house? Try remodeling after a decade or so.
Give yourself a reason to be excited each morning.
