You are generally talented in art and letters, and are capable of commanding great success in your callings. One of their faults is a disregard for the value of money. You will strive for big sums and waste them when you get it. You have no patience with those who take care of the penny, and are lavish when in funds.”  All cards in fair to good condition with minor folds, bends and markings. (approx. 3 x 5 in.)
