Well, this card has taken on a particular meaning for me. My husband is a Libra with Aquarius rising (Air and Air), and my son is a Capricorn with Leo rising (Earth and Fire). They both are very practical with money. For those readers who haven't been following my last couple of spreads (Water Cup Desert and Japonica's Map), I'm a Picses with Scorpio rising, and while I don't spend more than I have, I consistently spend as much as I have. I'm hardly destitute and out in the snow (RWS), but psychologically there is a sense of want that I'm trying to overcome rather than appease. So, this card reminds me of my approaching my husband and son for advice, since I'm trying to, as Graham says, confront my limitations, and acheive a sense of balance and well being (the Temperance card in position 9, Water Cup Desert Spread).
Visually, I like this card, with it's little blue faced poppet in his ragged clothes braving establishments that have coins and diamonds on their doorways, a hopeful expression on his face. He seems to have more faith in the universe to care for him, if he is willing to apply himself, than the figures in the RWS card.
Graham's booklet states: "Jake has unexpectedly lost his job at the Guest House and due to limited skills, he is having a difficult time finding another job. He does not allow himself to become discouraged; instead he approaches a new hotel in order to develop his skills."
Divinitory Meaning: "The Five of Coins encourages us to confront our limitations and develop our abilities."
