	The card on the far right represents the object being viewed, be it an idea, relationship, or the self. Seven of Coins (Assessment): A step forward, accomplished with grace and skill.
	The card second from the right represents the physical vision: how the object is seen at a base or mechanical level. Four of Cups (Luxury): Jealousy and envy. Suspicion of a loved one. Nagging doubts.
	The card in the middle represents the mental vision: the object personified and seen through a humanized perspective. King of Cups, when reversed: An ineffectual, unsteady person, talented but emotionally at sea.
	The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. The High Priestess: The abstract, spiritual and intellectual face of the anima, which is the feminine nature of the soul. Primordial feminine wisdom. The cyclic and balancing forces of nature. The ancient underground tradition of healing arts, magic, and spiritual mystery.
	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. Eight of Swords (Interference), when reversed: The lingering presence of a betrayal.
