 | The card on the far right represents the object being viewed, be it an idea, relationship, or the self. Two of Swords (Peace): Friendship, especially between student and teacher or younger and older. The adventure and excitement of childhood and adolescence. |
 | The card second from the right represents the physical vision: how the object is seen at a base or mechanical level. Justice: The vindication of the just and the punishment of the unjust. Rule of reason. Balance of power. |
 | The card in the middle represents the mental vision: the object personified and seen through a humanized perspective. The Sun: Glory and rejoicing. The light of reason. The flower of manhood. Inspiration in poetry and music. |
 | The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. Two of Cups (Love): The flower of first love, of love at first sight. The bond between two people, invisible but formidable. |
 | 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. King of Swords, when reversed: Abuse of power. Tyranny. Cruelty. The empty striving for control. A failed attempt at mastery. |
