 | The card on the far right represents the object being viewed, be it an idea, relationship, or the self. 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. |
 | The card second from the right represents the physical vision: how the object is seen at a base or mechanical level. The Sun, when reversed: Poignance of dusk. Twilight shadows. Nostalgia. Haunting memories. |
 | The card in the middle represents the mental vision: the object personified and seen through a humanized perspective. Death, when reversed: Death averted. Brush with danger. Rising from a deathlike sleep. |
 | The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. 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. |
 | 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, when reversed: A false step. Impetuous beginning. Rash and irrational behavior. Childishness. Bacchic intoxication, oblivion and violence. |
