Analogy for the House of Pentacles

Imagine you are in a rather vital and resourceful moment in life, and you decide to start a business. The ace is that "Aha!" moment, the idea, the excitement, ambition, planning and desire to start this venture; with high hopes and winds on favor you begin your quest. With deuces you play with possibilities, you think of possible partners, ways to make this work, you juggle them on your mind until you find a balanced path that suits you, you define your priorities and take off focusing on a thing at a time balancing things along the way. With 3 you feel motivated, people keep telling you it's a great idea, things haven't given any profit yet but everything looks good. On four you start getting your profit, but you cling too much to it, instead of feeling grateful to life, you get greedy for a moment you want to keep this to yourself instead of using it to make the business grow, you get anxious about the future and cling to every penny. On five you find yourself feeling miserable, spending that money on yourself has brought you to an unfavorable stage on your journey, you feel left behind, out on the cold, and struggle, finally you realize you have to loan some money to keep this going. On 6 you put a mortgage on your house and get a rather nice interest rate, you let your ego deflate and start listening to other's advice, you get informed and accept you may not know it all. On 7, business is giving profit again, this time you try to be wiser, you reap what you have sown carefully, pay your bills on time and keep injecting most of what's earned back into business. On 8 things really take off; you have a lot of orders to fulfill, sleepless nights working to meet your client's expectations and dates. On 9 you have paid all your debt and you start realizing how far and well things have gone, you feel happy and successful, proud, hopeful, motivated and grateful, you have all you need. On 10 you have made it even better than you ever dreamed of, all you want and need is at reach, not only business turned out great, you now have a family, and ventured in other investments, you feel the need to share what you have.

Knight could be those first partners, employees and supporters who bravely believed in you. Queens could be those kind people who told you not everything was lost, that kind bank employee who suggested what was best for you.
