 | The card on the far right represents the object being viewed, be it an idea, relationship, or the self. Temperance: Balance. Moderation. Harmony. "Nothing in excess." Blending of opposites. Androgyny. |
 | The card second from the right represents the physical vision: how the object is seen at a base or mechanical level. Two of Staves (Dominion), when reversed: Wavering in the charge ahead. Victories delayed. Stalemate. |
 | The card in the middle represents the mental vision: the object personified and seen through a humanized perspective. The Emperor, when reversed: Tyranny. Pomposity. Jove-like self-indulgence. |
 | The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. The World: Completion and perfection. Focus. Synthesis. Interweaving. The vast design of nature. The interconnecting patterns of experience. Fulfillment and success. |
 | 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. |
