The Bear is often a sign of finances, either good or bad. Just as wall street has the bull and bear markets, so too speaks the bear card. It’s kind of ironic, because in the stock industry the bull is good and the bear is bad, but as there isn’t a bull card, the bear stands for finances in general. Specifically, the bear card is a sign that your finances will improve, your resources will pool. It may indicate an upcoming trip to a bank or an ATM, or a future raise. You may win a small lottery prize or a larger sweepstakes. You might be in line to get a surprise bonus or financial windfall that is unexpected. Perhaps you will be named as the heir in an estate or trust. It may also be a reminder that financial troubles may lay ahead, so now is the time to be prudent and to get your financial resources saved up. It may be the time to invest in an annuity, fund, or stock. Now may be the perfect time and chance to make that leap into an investment that you were questioning. It may be time to protect your assets physically by investing in a safe or alarm system at home, so that a bear is protecting fiercely your assets. Another meaning of the bear card is that it may be a sign to check out your physicality, including your muscles, torso, and your stomach. The bear may indicate digestive problems or eating disorders as well.
15 is an important number in Judaism and Passover, Sukkot, and Tu Bishvat all begin on the 15th days of the respective months. In Hispanic cultures, 15 is the age where a girl celebrates her quinceañera. In some countries, 15 is the legal age of consent for marriage or sexual intercourse. There are 15 minutes in the quarter of each hour, ironic because quarter is also a financial term. 15 could indicate that a financial change will occur on the 15th minute, day, week, month, or even 15th year. The time could be 3:00 or even 3:15. In numerology, the number one is a very ambitious and smart, energetic leader. The number five is Mercury, planet of business and finance. When you combine those two, you get a very ambitious and smart leader of business and finance. It’s easy to see how these qualities all pooled together make for very sound financial decisions and investments. 15 is the perfect number to be paired with the bear card.
The cloud card isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it isn’t necessarily good either. Think about clouds and the role they play in our lives. Have you ever described something good, fun, positive as cloudy? A good day is a sunny day. A bad day is a rainy day. But a cloudy day is probably an overcast day, a day that might be full of uncertainty. Weather wise, how many times have you packed a bag for the beach or park, only to look out the window and see a cloudy day? This is such a confusing thing. Is it going to be overcast? Will I still get sunburned? Is it going to rain? Is wind rolling in? Clouds can be very ambiguous, and there are different types of clouds.
While clouds can indicate sadness, or depression, typically they indicate uncertainty, confusion, or perhaps even the inability to make a decision. When our judgement is not clear, or good, we often use the expression “clouded judgement.” Clouds can indicate smoke, a smoker, or the outdoors. They may warn us of upcoming storms. They may be trying to tell us something about the lungs. Or indicate something gray. A cloud card may indicate that things are coming in our future that may not be what they first appear. It may also indicate that you need to make a decision about something that you’ve been foggy or fuzzy about in the past. It is time for those clouds to clear and you to move forward into the sunshine.
Receiving this card is a likely sign that you will face a difficult decision and be depressed about being forced to make this decision. Don’t despair, for every cloud has a silver lining. Make your decision quickly and efficiently, and the clouds will part quickly.
The number six is usually associated with six years when it relates to the clouds. Six can also express the letter F, the month of June, 6 o’clock, or Saturday. 6 is often related to the mother as it inspires feelings of family, protection, love, balance, and responsibility. It is considered one of the more harmonious numbers. It can be the glue that keeps people or communities together. This seems to be a contradiction to the clouds, but it is important that she who has responsibility has clear and un-precluded judgement. Especially if your divined numbers include the number six, you must take seriously your responsibilities of protection, love, balance, and family. You must know your talents and know your weaknesses in order to be able to succeed.
The Bear card and the Clouds card seem to be contradictory since the bear card can refer to security and the Clouds card symbolizes insecurity. In this case, it is likely that the bear card is referring to a financial decision that will lead to the security you need. The Cloud card is confirming the insecurity you will experience until you make that proper financial decision.
This could be deciding to send your children to public school instead of private school or it could mean putting that trip that you wanted to take aside until you are in a better financial place. The cards could also be telling you to go buy that lotto ticket or make that investment you have been thinking about for so long. You may have always felt afraid to take that leap, and are now ready to pounce on it, like a bear protecting her cubs. The goal is to relieve yourself of that cloudy feeling and move forward.
The Bear is represented by the number 15, and the Cloud is represented by the number 6. When we combine them we get the number 21. Since 21 isn’t a single digit number, we add the 2 + 1 to get the number 3.
Literally the number 3 can signify the month of March, or a month that’s 3 months away from today’s date. It may also signify a month of upcoming travel for you, love, an anniversary, the month of a child’s birth, or another significant event. 3 could also signify three weeks, three days, or three years, and so on and so forth. It could also be referring to 3 o’clock or 30 minutes. Multiples of 3 can also be considered, like 2021. In Christianity the number 3 would represent the Holy Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost which are omnipresent and anywhere and everywhere, through space and time. The Pythagoreans thought that 3 was the first true number. It’s also symbolic of triangles, it’s the first number to form a geometric shape. In fairy tales and religious rituals things are often said or done three times. We use the expression, “third time’s the charm!” — it indicates that often times you don’t succeed on the first or second try, but on the third. We also count to three when we want to do something in synchronicity. It’s a very powerful number. Three colors of light are needed to make all other colors of light, three colors of paint are needed to make all other colors of paint.
Create a list of pros and cons about the financial decisions that are weighing on your mind. The list will help you feel more secure about your next step. Look at the bigger picture or try to imagine a few years down the road. Some decisions may feel like a risk at the moment but do not let that hold you back from making a choice that will set you up for progress. Cancel those miscellaneous subscriptions you no longer need and cut back on the extras, like daily coffee or visits to the vending machine. You may also choose to sign up for some apps that may invest your pennies, round up your savings investments, or auto deposit a certain amount into your savings for long-term financial planning.
“I am open to new opportunities and I will invite growth to my life. I will not fear change but insead search for it so that I can regain stability and balance. I will do away with any unnecessary expenses that I have put out of my mind and free up some space for new growth.” repeat this affirmation 4 to 5 times this week.
