68-Five of Coins – Upright Golden Deck

Your Chosen Card – Five of Coins Upright Golden Deck

When upright, the Five of Coins traditionally refers to two people who remain very much in love despite any material troubles they must confront. They take seriously their marriage vows: ‘for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.’ The lovers walking in a snowstorm pass the church where they got married. Despite declining finances and ill health, they remain devoted to each other in a committed relationship. This card indicates the importance of love and mutual support in weathering life’s storms. It shows a willingness to face hardships with a partner in a mutually supportive way.

Keywords Upright: Spiritual solace, seeking financial assistance, mutual support, devotion, pure love, affection, commitment, lovemaking, affinity, concord, reconciliation, married life for better or for worse; ‘no matter what happens, we’re in this together.’

Timing: 0 Taurus–10 Taurus. Tropical, 21 April–30 April. Sidereal, 14 May–24 May.
Astrology: Nimble and clever Mercury in the first decan of earthy Taurus, realm of the Waite King/Thoth Prince of Coins (Air of Earth) and the Hierophant (Taurus). Mercury is linked to the Magician. [The church window is a reference to the Pope and the sacrament of marriage. Fickle Mercury brings instability to the earthy solidity reflected in Taurus and the King of Coins, thus exposing the marriage to fluctuations in its material security.]
Number Symbolism: 5 – instability, disruption, crisis, loss, tension, conflict.

In the middle of the first decan of Leo (in the sidereal zodiac as the Golden Dawn used) lies the royal star Regulus, the heart of the lion ancient astrologers regarded as the ruler of the heavens. According to Israel Regardie, ‘The beginning of the decanates is from the Royal King Star of the Heart of the Lion, the great star Cor Leonis, and therefore is the first decanate that of Saturn in Leo.’ 44 Saturn comes first in the order of visible planets known to the ancient Chaldeans and thus is the proper starting place for the entire zodiac.
