The Meanings of these Tarot Cards

Past

What has already occurred; the past.

Five of Swords from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Degradation, destruction, revocation, infamy, dishonour, loss, with the variants and analogues of these.

Card Description

A disdainful man looks after two retreating and dejected figures. Their swords lie upon the ground. He carries two others on his left shoulder, and a third sword is in his right hand, point to earth. He is the master in possession of the field.

Present

What is occurring now; the present.

King of Swords from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Whatsoever arises out of the idea of judgment and all its connexions-power, command, authority, militant intelligence, law, offices of the crown, and so forth.

Card Description

He sits in judgment, holding the unsheathed sign of his suit. He recalls, of course, the conventional Symbol of justice in the Trumps Major, and he may represent this virtue, but he is rather the power of life and death, in virtue of his office.

Future

What has not yet occurred; the future.

Two of Cups from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Love, passion, friendship, affinity, union, concord, sympathy, the interrelation of the sexes, and--as a suggestion apart from all offices of divination--that desire which is not in Nature, but by which Nature is sanctified.

Card Description

A youth and maiden are pledging one another, and above their cups rises the Caduceus of Hermes, between the great wings of which there appears a lion's head. It is a variant of a sign which is found in a few old examples of this card. Some curious emblematical meanings are attached to it, but they do not concern us in this place.
