Cosmetics or deep riches...
Several fascinating themes emerge from this symbol. One addresses the level of gold: is it real gold to the core; is it a mere surface coating? The idea is supported by Scorpio 4 "A youth holding a lighted candle". One suggestive saying is "Tace is latin for candle" which is a way of saying one had best keep quiet.
Another theme addresses 'gilding the lili', something like painting something that is already perfectly lovely to begin with.
On a more practical level, the tension between seeing gold as an external reward... over the rainbow... is contrasted with knowing the gold is within. When one has a confident sense of richness within, the path followed out into the world is rich, abundant, fascinating, as if it were turned into a rainbow road.
It follows that with a rich inner attitude, one can enjoy any challenge without feeling diminished or deprived. On the other hand, seeking out of a poverty mentality tends to never find the rainbow's end and its pot of gold.
