Tarot is about personal interpretation. Different strokes for different folks. Embrace the complexity or stick to simplicity.

Interesting take! It could be a cautionary reminder to maintain balance in giving and receiving.

You’re welcome, and symbolism is one of the most important aspects of cartomancy … never neglect to visually study the symbols on your cards, they become psychological and psychic prompts. We more easily associate things with symbols than we do memorizing keywords and key-phrases. The picture tells a story. Think of a bedtime story with a child. The telling of the store matters of course, but it’s the images that really capture the imagination, the images give substance to the story. This is why I teach people to take the card out, the full-color card, and gaze upon it. Find all the little things that are pointed out in the guidebooks, but don’t rely on the black and white image in the book, use the card.

I think so, I advise the same … also, I advise them “if you are being helpful or supportive financially and you have expectations or strings, make sure you define that clearly with the one you are helping.” And, perhaps the person you are reading for is the one receiving the help … I advise them, “If this person is helping you financially, beware of strings attached, perhaps talk to them and clarify the expectations and avoid losing a friend over it. 😉 See the duality of it? They could be on the receiving end too, depends on the spread, position and reading.
