Prince of Disks

On this card we observe two protagonists, the prince and the bull. Both are confident and walk the path of success. If these two are aligned, they are the perfect match. They are expected to get wealthy and prosper in whatever they do.
However, both are archetypes of a prince, who almost never finds the right balance. Either we trample our fellow men to the ground (like the bull) or we tend to elevate ourselves to overwhelming proportions.
The victorious child of matter, symbolized through the bull, walks proudly. We know that we are crowned with the sovereignty of being stable and are aligned with the spirit of earth, we are born of. Our sharp and inventive mind helps us in all possible situations.
Invocating this principle, we are proud to be makers, not thinkers.
The Prince of Discs is usually intelligent by nature. He isn’t restricted by his thoughts, but instead inspired by his mind. The difference is that he is not leaning towards worrying about his life. He is rather thinking towards finding new goals and approaches to existing problems. He solves troubles like it was nothing and emerges victorious, where others fail. He takes a thought and turns it into substance, lasting and real.
No need to say, that the Prince of Disks is usually remarkably successful, often more in financial matters, then in relationships. He knows this and has high self-esteem.
In this phase in our lives, we often think better of ourselves, then we think about others. Respect for others may be one of our major issues. The bull refers to Taurus, ruler of the element of earth and to the famous „charging bull“ statue on wall street, which symbolizes best, what the prince is meant to be. We may regard the world as being our kingdom, never our prison.
If we meet such a person, we should beware of getting emotionally involved.
We can already guess, that he must think, that he rules matter, but he is a prince, not a king. Although he is true to himself, and has admirable qualities like endurance and persistence, he usually disregards the accomplishments of others completely. This can lead to arguments and even break ups in relationships. Spirituality, and therefore connection to others, regard for nature and the environment and compassion are qualities he may only know by name.
He can be stubborn and cold when he is unhappy. Comfort is one of his major values.
Beware of trying to exploit the prince in any way. His most negative aspects would emerge. Nothing good can come from ripping off others anyway.
In the best case the prince has (or develops) values, which tell him, what to do right to help his fellow men. Such merits can lead to becoming a philanthropist in the best-case scenario. There is huge potential in this archetype, if he meets the right people, who open his mind to advanced ideas and touch his soul in a way he didn’t know before.
