Card 42 · Wind · Thunder
The Windfall
“Increase, unexpected gain, and the blessing of surplus.”
The Card’s Message
Increase, unexpected gain, and the blessing of surplus.
Upright Meaning
The Windfall arrives — increase, unexpected gain, and the harvest that comes without the planting being finished. This card brings surplus: a stroke of luck, a sudden resource, a gift from the direction you were not watching. Receive it gratefully, and use the surplus to plant what you could not afford before.
Reversed Meaning
Reversed, the windfall has been squandered — gain that inflated you, luck that taught you nothing, or abundance that leaked through unexamined hands. The universe gave once; it watches what you do with the gift. Budget, honor, and extend the surplus.
If This Card Appears for You
Receive the surplus today — and put a piece of it to work for the long road.
The Old Words
“Increase. It furthers one to undertake something. It furthers one to cross the great water.”
