 | The card on the far right represents the object being viewed, be it an idea, relationship, or the self. Four of Coins (Power): Lustful or greedy pursuit of someone or something. Irrational action. Unreasonable desire for wealth. |
 | The card second from the right represents the physical vision: how the object is seen at a base or mechanical level. The Hierophant: The abstract, spiritual and intellectual side of the animus, or masculine nature of the soul. Spiritual authority. Religious tradition. Avuncular wisdom. The old order and the old school. |
 | The card in the middle represents the mental vision: the object personified and seen through a humanized perspective. Four of Cups (Luxury): Jealousy and envy. Suspicion of a loved one. Nagging doubts. |
 | The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. Ace of Staves, when reversed: A beginning that is faulty from lack of conviction or from an excess of complacency. |
 | 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. Knight of Staves, when reversed: Travel canceled or postponed. |
