The seven riches of the universal monarch: (Seven Richnesses; Archetypes and real riches): "These are very ancient categories first used in India to describe the qualities of a ruler, in this case, for the individual."

Queen: "To have a queen, wife or husband (partner), represents the decency in your household. When you live with someone with whom you can share your life, both your wisdom and your negativities, it encourages you to open up your personality."

Minister: "The principle of minister is having a councillor, (husband or wife), who promotes your decency. It is said that ministers should be inscrutable."

General: "represents fearlessness and protection; a friend who is fearless. The general is actually a friend who actually cares for you, not one who provides council."

Steed or Horse: "represents industriousness; working hard and exerting your self in sitting (meditation) situations." (ant.: laziness)

Elephant: "Represents steadiness. Though rooted like a tree trunk, you can walk and move forward with steadiness, not swayed by deception or confusion."

The Wish Granting Jewel: Generosity. "Being open hospitable and humorous. The ability to let go and give, not just holding on to these principles."

The Wheel or Iron Wheel: "Represents command over your world. Taking one's seat properly and fully. Allowing all the principles to work together to promote richness and dignity in your life."
