The Sixth Path, Mediating Intelligence - Beauty
God Name = JHWH Aloah va Daath
Archangel = Raphael
Order of Angels = Kings, Malachim
Mundane Chakra = The Sun
Virtue = Devotion to the Great Work
Titles = Zeir Anpin, The Lesser Countenance. Melekh. The King
Spiritual Experience = Vision of the Harmony of Things.
Atziluthic Color = Clear Rose-pink
Briatic Color = Yellow
Yetziratic Color = Rich Salmon-pink
Assiatic Color = Golden Amber
Vice = Pride
Symbols = Rose Cross. Lamen. Truncated Pyramid. Cube
Pride as the vice for this, also the Sun and the colour yellow. Yet it also means a vision of harmony. So we come back to harmony...
I did as you suggested Aoife and looked at the two figures whilst blanking out the Merchant - one thing that struck me was the poorer figure is holding out their left hand whilst the right is concealed. The left hand is the feminine and lacking very much in this card. The one being given to has both hands out and they are both looking at the money not its bearer.
I can't help the feeling that this card indicates a lack of harmony and looks to the querent to adjust accordingly. A lack of the feminine, of the subconscious, of true generosity.
Also, maybe the more raggedy beggar is less deserving or has been judged (scales) less deserving of the gold. Getting what you deserve? Karma? Maybe the merchant listened to both cases before sharing the money and decided the other fellow deserved or needed the money more...Maybe the yellow beggar needs the money whereas the green beggar simply desires it.
"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing." St Paul
This discussion is very very interesting.
