Gold from the Earth gold from the sky
Gold comes unexpectedly

The money card does not promise us easy riches. It is a tool for helping us to understand the role of money in our lives and its role in the specific issue or question we are thinking through with the Psycards.

It is easy to become overfocused on money. Preoccupying ourselves with thoughts of money can blind us to more important, fundamental needs and obligations in our lives and can make us forget the value of those things like human relationships which are hard to quantify. On the other hand, disregarding the importance of money can be dangerous and lead us down the slippery slope to poverty. In order to think through the role of money we should examine the card in conjunction with those situated adjacent to it, unpick its influence and see if it is positive or negative.

The card depicts a farmer ploughing a lush field. Beneath the field appears to be buried treasure. It is not clear whether the farmer will find the buried treasure, or what value the buried treasure has relative to the land which he works. The card reminds us of the basic truth that we cannot know what financial surprises, good or bad await for us, and the best we can do is to knuckle down and plough our fields.
