 | The card in the middle represents the mental vision: the object personified and seen through a humanized perspective. Ten of Cups (Satiety): The union of love and the soul. Happiness in love. Balance in friendship. Joyful equanimity in oneself. |
 | The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. Eight of Coins (Prudence), when reversed: Vanity. Dishonesty. |
 | 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. The Chariot: Victory. Triumph over opposition. New order. Change by force. The chariot of the soul pulled to one side by the force of vigilance and restraint, or drawn to the other side by the force of passions. |
