 | The card in the middle represents the mental vision: the object personified and seen through a humanized perspective. Five of Swords (Defeat), when reversed: Entering new experiences after persuasion or seduction. Undertaking new adventures. |
 | The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. King of Swords, when reversed: Abuse of power. Tyranny. Cruelty. The empty striving for control. A failed attempt at mastery. |
