 | The card on the far right represents the object being viewed, be it an idea, relationship, or the self. Cancer: Being loving and emotional. Showing sympathy and providing shelter for others. Relying on intuition and imagination in personal affairs, and caution and shrewdness in domestic matters. |
 | The card second from the right represents the physical vision: how the object is seen at a base or mechanical level. The Devil's House, when reversed: Unexpected upheaval leading to a positive change in life. Catastrophe survived or narrowly avoided. A new lifestyle and enlightenment. May indicate a broken relationship, divorce, or failure in business or career. |
 | The card in the middle represents the mental vision: the object personified and seen through a humanized perspective. Three of Swords (Sorrow), when reversed: Unsettling news that helps you to distance yourself from a destructive relationship. Painfully honest communication that needs to take place. Not letting yourself be dragged by your emotions into a negative situation. A trust or confidence betrayed in an attempt to help someone in need. The revelation of a painful truth. |
 | The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. Capricorn, when reversed: Inaction resulting from pessimism and undue caution. A miserly and petty approach to the accumulation of material wealth. Lack of self-esteem. |
 | The card on the far left represents the fourfold or mystical vision: still viewing through the previous three, we now add a spiritual element, revealing unseen aspects of the object. Faith: Acting with certainty and confidence. Unfaltering loyalty and resolve. Diverse efforts brought to a single focus. Remaining true to your beliefs, even in the face of setbacks and crushing opposition. |
