 | The card on the far right represents the object being viewed, be it an idea, relationship, or the self. The Sun: Glory and rejoicing. The light of reason. The flower of manhood. Inspiration in poetry and music. |
 | The card second from the right represents the physical vision: how the object is seen at a base or mechanical level. Seven of Swords (Futility): Favorable turn of events. Hope for sustained success. Vigilance and strength. |
 | The card in the middle represents the mental vision: the object personified and seen through a humanized perspective. 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. |
 | The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. Three of Swords (Sorrow): Conflict of two mighty forces for the possession or mastery of something or someone. A dangerous triangle. |
 | 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. Three of Cups (Abundance), when reversed: Superficial pleasure. Excessive emotion. |
