In this series, I complete a 4-card reading pertaining to the upcoming week’s world events. I then discuss the results in the following week’s reading.
In last week’s reading we saw the Devil with the Lovers, 8 of Wands and 2 of Coins. This one is quite easily interpreted. The Devil is becoming obsessed or enslaved by the material world (money). The Lovers is making a choice, and the 8 of Wands denotes the choice is made quickly. The 2 of Coins is making it all balance. We saw two world leaders in the European Union leave their posts within the past couple of weeks due to economic issues (Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou, who happens to be a Gemini/The Lovers, as well as Italy’s Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi). Both Prime Ministers were removed/replaced due to economic issues (i.e. the accounts weren’t balancing). The change was quick especially by government standards.
On to this week’s World Reading (which AGAIN is all about money, money, money). I know I will discuss it in next week’s entry, but I would like to point out that this week doesn’t look good for world economy. There are money money concerns (5 of Coins), and it would appear that while people should be working together to fix the problem (3 of Coins), there will be others who are trying to take advantage of the current financial situations (7 of Swords) even going so far as to be under-handed. Either way, change is coming (by way of the Knight of Coins), and it may not be in everybody’s best interest based on the other cards in the reading.
5 of Coins

Avoidance: shirking responsibility, sneaking off
Dishonor: being two-faced, lying, stealing, having a shameful secret, covering your tracks
It’s time to appease the opposition without sacrificing integrity. The truth must be faced no matter the outcome; otherwise, it will only get worse. Indication of someone who wants to go it alone, have their independence away from prying eyes.

Knight of Coins
Card 4: Knight of Coins
As a person…

Attributes: Any eye color, black or white hair, young person
Positive: cautious, thorough, realistic, hardworking, practical, steady, reliable, empathetic

This person will take the time to do a good job while empathizing with those less fortunate. He probably needs constant motivation otherwise he can become subdued and waste his talents. This person usually has a love for animals and nature.
As a situation…
Knights are ‘activators’ or changes. The Knight of Coins usually brings about changes in our physical and material state of affairs (this includes our bodies, our homes, our jobs, our bank accounts, etc.).
