 | The card in the center represents the attitude you assume. Ace of Staves: Creativity. Change. Success in new undertakings. "A breath of fresh air." "New blood." The sanguine temperament of the Ace promotes experiment, reform and appreciation of beauty, both of people and of nature. |
 | The card to the right represents the thoughts and feelings that underly your attitudes. Four of Staves (Completion): Calm, pleasurable and perhaps amorous interlude. A playful balance of opposites, like the exchange made by Herakles and Queen Omphale. |
 | The card at the top represents how your attitude is evolving and will evolve in the future. Ten of Swords (Ruin), when reversed: Fame or glory blooming forth from misfortune. Cruel reality ennobled by art. |
 | The card to the left represents how others perceive your attitude. Three of Swords (Sorrow): Conflict of two mighty forces for the possession or mastery of something or someone. A dangerous triangle. |
 | The card at the bottom represents what you cannot confront or are hiding from yourself. Page of Coins, when reversed: An unrealistic deluded state of mind. Rationalizations. Pseudoscience. |
