General: Although this is a very positive card in a reading, it shows also a need to keep your wits about you, that although you deserve and should treat yourself to some fun, but know that you are still in a building up phase and now is not the time to rest completely on your laurels. This card can also sometimes mean that you will be moving to your place of residence.
Work: Things are probably going very well for you workwise. Still, whatever you do, don't take this initial success for granted and feel like it will all be smooth sailing from here on out. Yes, you've earned your success and some kudos (and some fun and some time off too) but don't forget that you will have to continue to strive to stay on top and to continue to grow and stretch yourself.
Love: When it comes to love, this card can indicate that your relationship is about to become a whole lot more committed - up to and including a potential marriage. If you're looking for love, it shows that special events (weddings, bars, and other ceremonies, etc.) are a good place to meet someone special now. If you get invited to something like this and are single, grab the opportunity.
Finances: Your finances are likely in good shape and are also likely to get a whole lot better. However, this will be as a result of your hard work and not something like pure luck like a lottery win. Have faith in yourself and keep trying. You will reap positive rewards.
Health: If you're waiting on results from a test, you are likely to soon be celebrating positive news. If there is something that has been bothering you health-wise and you've not been able to find a solution, know that there is help available for you. Be persistent in trying to find that help.
