FAILURE
SEVEN OF DISKS
The number Seven, Netzach, has its customary enfeebling effect, and this is made
worse by the influence of Saturn in Taurus. The disks are arranged in the shape of the geo‐
mantic figure Rubeus, the most ugly and menacing of the Sixteen. (See Five of Cups.) The at‐
mosphere of the card is that of Blight. On the background, which represents vegetation and
cultivation, everything is spoiled. The four colours of Netzach appear, but they are blotched
with angry indigo and reddish orange. The disks themselves are the leaden disks of Saturn.
They suggest bad money.
