Traditional reading

Bills pouring down from the sky and gathering toward you are read as unexpected money luck. On the other hand, bills in your hand scattering away in the wind meant spending could rise or money could leak away, so be careful.

Through the heart

Scattering bills show feelings about a flow you can't control. It may be anxiety that money or work isn't going your way, or a sense of release, wanting to enjoy yourself freely.
