Everyday meaning
Wealth, lasting prosperity, estate, family. It points to material completion, the stability that is passed on through time, inheritances and shared goods.
Psychological meaning
The satisfaction of someone who has built something solid and lasting; but also the risk that wealth becomes an end in itself, losing its purpose.
Initiatic meaning
Earth in Malkuth, with Mercury in Virgo, his house and exaltation, in the third decan: Mercurial intelligence organises matter in its most complete form. Wealth is the completion of the material Work, which must however return to circulation so as not to stagnate.
The shadow side
Ill-dignified, it signals avarice, heaviness, materialism, stagnation of goods.
