I'd agree with the finance and suggest physical and material security
instead...Emotional security is, for me, more a sort of cups thing.  Then
again I'm a cups kinda guy...you get a different emotional spread with each
ace. (Wands for passions, Cups for the deep emotions like piety and the
desire for wisdom, air for the intellectual fascinations and coins for the
material satisfactions.)

Tarot, incidentally).

It would be more usual for the significator to be a face card, though...Also
it was down...so it might be an inverted card.
