 | The card on the far right represents the object being viewed, be it an idea, relationship, or the self. Ace of Cups, when reversed: Love unsatisfied or unrequited. Love trickling away, eroded by time, thoughtlessness and selfishness. |
 | 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. Seven of Swords (Futility): Favorable turn of events. Hope for sustained success. Vigilance and strength. |
 | The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. The Tower: Comeuppance. Setback. Disaster. Arrogance of pride cast down by Providence. Unforeseen event. Calamity. |
 | 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: Creativity. Change. Success in new undertakings. "A breath of fresh air." "New blood." The sanguine temperament of the Ace promotes experiment, reform and appreciation of beauty, both of people and of nature. |
