 | The card on the far right represents the object being viewed, be it an idea, relationship, or the self. Nine of Swords (Cruelty), when reversed: Slander. Suspicion. |
 | The card second from the right represents the physical vision: how the object is seen at a base or mechanical level. Two of Cups (Love): The flower of first love, of love at first sight. The bond between two people, invisible but formidable. |
 | The card in the middle represents the mental vision: the object personified and seen through a humanized perspective. The Judgment: Resurrection and rebirth. Perfection of the body and soul. Final reward or punishment. |
 | The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. Eight of Cups (Indolence): A moment of surrender to external forces. Capitulation to inner promptings. Giving in to temptation. Giving oneself over to oblivion, to intoxication, to sleep. |
 | 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. Queen of Coins, when reversed: A cornucopia emptied. A heart of stone. Crystalline coldness. A field barren and gone to seed. Preoccupation of wealth and security that stifles enjoyment of both. |
