 | The card on the far right represents the object being viewed, be it an idea, relationship, or the self. Ace of Cups: The free reign of the heart in overflowing joy and abundant love. |
 | 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. Knight of Staves, when reversed: Travel canceled or postponed. |
 | The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. Five of Coins (Worry), when reversed: Reversal of a difficult situation. Gradual improvement. Encouraging news. |
 | 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 Fool: The personality in the primal state, the willful child in all of us. Instinct. Innocence. Impulsive actions. Setting off in a new direction in life. Liberation of the impulses. Insight and wit from instinct rather than instruction. |
