Fast Money Tarot Spread

Every few months there is some financial crisis I need to deal with.  I'm working to try and figure out why I keep letting this happen, but it's going to require more time and sessions with my therapist. 
I suppose I could consult an accountant, but my therapist seems more helpful at this time.
Nevertheless, it has happened again. I have a tuition payment due for my degree program, another one due for my son's degree program, and a broken air conditioning system that will cost several thousand dollars to replace. I'm in a pickle. Again.
So, while panicking about where I'm going to come up with thousands of dollars for both basic comfort and mind-expanding education, I threw together this Tarot Spread.
Let's go through it together and see if it works, shall we?

Card 1: You - it's you (or me!) It's how we're feeling about money, what we're doing about money, what's worked until now, what hasn't worked, where our head is at, how much more therapy you (or I) need and just general circumstances surrounding the querant and money. 
Yes, it sounds like a lot for one card to answer, but you might be surprised what kinds of insights you can find with such a general overlook.

For my Card 1 I pulled the Ace of Swords upright. That's hilarious, because in my book, Applied Tarot, one of the interpretations for this card is an Air Conditioner.  I've just found out mine is going to cost a ton of money to replace, which sucks! But the ace is also about determination and thoughtfulness, and I'm feeling pretty determined to try and fix this money issue using my wits. Let's continue.

Card 2: Your money  - It's your money (or my money)! What's it doing for us right now? How is it working? Is it feeling lost? underused? overused? abused? If we imagine our money as a member of our family (it's a necessity - it feeds us and clothes us, we have a love-hate relationship with it, so why not give it a name and call it a family member?), how is it feeling right now?

For my Card 2 I pulled the Six of Swords. My money is feeling like it's on a very difficult journey. Tell me about it, fat stacks! You're about to make a difficult journey into some HVAC technician's pocket, and also to two very expensive collegiate institutions that are a long way away, but yet are banging down my door ASAP! Talk about difficult.

Card 3: How to Work for it - Now we get into the nitty gritty. This card might tell us to get a new job, work a small side gig, sell something, who knows? Money doesn't do stuff for us for nothing - this card is the action we have to take in order to make money want to take action for us!

For my Card 3 I pulled the reversed Lovers. Divorce my husband? No thanks. Cause an argument? This card is so confusing. If I look at the specific, practical interpretations, I could try and find money in my pantry, at the dog park, or while eating a TV dinner. Alternatively, I could work as a freelancer. I already do that, but it's not earning me thousands yet. Maybe I just need to work harder. Ugh, okay money.

Card 4: What to Trade for it - Sometimes money won't come because you haven't made room for it. Perhaps your mind, front entranceway, or space you occupy regularly is just too cluttered for visitors right now. If we go back to the money-as-family-member analogy, maybe it doesn't want to visit you until you make a bed for it. What object, skill, or thing could you share, donate, or relocate in order to make room for money to come over for a visit?

For my Card 4 I pulled the Eight of Cups - According to Applied Tarot I could clean a room I don't use very often, do some spiritual work for someone, or maybe just donate eight cups. I actually own so many cups they're taking up multiple cabinets. Maybe money will come visit if it doesn't have to sit and stare into my glassware cabinet just trying to decide which one to drink out of.

Card 5: When to Expect It - This one will totally be up to interpretation, I suspect. Applied Tarot has some rough time periods listed, but you can also use your best guess. There are multiple sources online for how to treat cups, wands, swords and pentacles in terms of what timing (weeks, days, years, months) they represent, but they all tend to vary. No two tarot users think alike! I suggest you decide on a timeline BEFORE you pick a card, just so you know for sure. Want help? Try Wands as days, Swords as weeks, Cups as months, and Pentacles as years. 

For my Card 5 I picked Temperance reversed. So much for the minor arcana timeframes I listed above! Ugh. Temperance typically represents November or December. I can't really wait 'til then to pay for the A/C or tuition, but at least I might be able to pay my credit cards back at that time if I put those items on there. I can live with that. 

Work more freelance gigs, donate 8 cups, expect money in November or December - I can do that.
