365 Tarot Spreads: Revealing the Magic in Each Day - Sasha Graham 2014

Get Out of Debt Spread

On This Day

Not all debt is bad. Borrowing for a home or education makes financial sense if you do not over-borrow and can afford the monthly payments.

In 1835, President Andrew Jackson rose to make an announcement few presidents have had the honor of making: “Gentlemen, the national debt is paid.” It was the first time the nation was debt-free, and it lasted for one year.

Summation of Spread

The King of Pentacles is associated with great wealth. He excels in business, real estate, and practical matters, and he is serious about his financial situation. His scepter represents power and he sits in the very kingdom he has created. He is generous, reliable, and patient.

Being debt-free releases anxiety, allows you to save, and gives you the freedom to choose what you spend money on. Today’s spread uses this auspicious day to begin a dialogue with yourself about your debt situation.
