The life of action and decision, especially in politics and business. Patriarch, clan leader, and pater familias. |
 | The card in the middle represents the mental vision: the object personified and seen through a humanized perspective. The Sun, when reversed: Poignance of dusk. Twilight shadows. Nostalgia. Haunting memories. |
 | The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. Six of Swords (Science), when reversed: A bluff. Deceptive show of force. A desperate attempt to impress. |
 | 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.
