GREED

You pulled Greed…
This card and song will have some significance for you.

Shadows of Vegas is a cool reflection on the 2009 financial crisis and an indictment of the rich men who got richer as working people suffered and lost, delivered in lamenting four part harmony and driven home by a mesmerizing neon grunge guitar sound. When you encounter the card Greed, check in with your sense of community. This card indicates that we owe a debt, are hoarding a resource, or must examine our motivations to be sure we are acting in the interest of the collective over the individual. A tree will only grow to a size that is sustainable within the environment in which it lives, but humans are often given to an insatiable need for more. Take time to get square with people who've lent you material, financial, or physical support. Do not take the generosity of others for granted. On a big picture level this card indicates you are at the mercy of unscrupulous, selfish, corrupted forces seemingly beyond your control. Be aware that the ones you fight for crumbs and scraps are not your enemy, those who feast spitefully beyond your reach are the dragon to bring down. Greed is contagious. They don’t care about the ones they cheat, but we can rise from their shadows.
