 | The card on the far right represents the object being viewed, be it an idea, relationship, or the self. Eight of Swords (Interference), when reversed: The lingering presence of a betrayal. |
 | The card second from the right represents the physical vision: how the object is seen at a base or mechanical level. Knight of Coins, when reversed: Small-mindedness. Insistence on the concrete. Lack of conviction in important matters. Lack of frankness in matters of the heart. |
 | The card in the middle represents the mental vision: the object personified and seen through a humanized perspective. Page of Swords, when reversed: An impostor or unmasked agent. Misguided search. Voyeurism. |
 | The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. Five of Staves (Strife): A project or adventure abandoned or cut short because of the departure or disappearance of a necessary colleague, partner, friend or lieutenant. |
 | 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. Ace of Staves, when reversed: A beginning that is faulty from lack of conviction or from an excess of complacency. |
