The Meanings of these Tarot Cards

This Covers You

This card gives the influence which is affecting the person or matter of inquiry generally, the atmosphere of it in which the other currents work.

King of Cups from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Dishonest, double-dealing man; roguery, exaction, injustice, vice, scandal, pillage, considerable loss.

Papus's Divinatory Meanings (When Upright)

A fair man. A friend. A barrister, judge, or ecclesiastic. A bachelor.

Card Description

He holds a short sceptre in his left hand and a great cup in his right; his throne is set upon the sea; on one side a ship is riding and on the other a dolphin is leaping. The implicit is that the Sign of the Cup naturally refers to water, which appears in all the court cards.

This Crosses You

It shows the nature of the obstacles in the matter. If it is a favourable card, the opposing forces will not be serious, or it may indicate that something good in itself will not be productive of good in the particular connexion.

Seven of Swords from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Good advice, counsel, instruction, slander, babbling.

Papus's Divinatory Meanings (When Upright)

Enemy successful.

Card Description

A man in the act of carrying away five swords rapidly; the two others of the card remain stuck in the ground. A camp is close at hand.

This Crowns You

It represents (a) the Querent's aim or ideal in the matter; (b) the best that can be achieved under the circumstances, but that which has not yet been made actual.

Two of Pentacles from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Enforced gaiety, simulated enjoyment, literal sense, handwriting, composition, letters of exchange.

Papus's Divinatory Meanings (When Upright)

Difficulty in getting inheritance or good fortune.

Card Description

A young man, in the act of dancing, has a pentacle in either hand, and they are joined by that endless cord which is like the number 8 reversed.

This is Beneath You

It shows the foundation or basis of the matter, that which has already passed into actuality and which the Significator has made his own.

Five of Wands from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Imitation, as, for example, sham fight, but also the strenuous competition and struggle of the search after riches and fortune. In this sense it connects with the battle of life. Hence some attributions say that it is a card of gold, gain, opulence.

Papus's Divinatory Meanings

Obstacles surmounted.

Card Description

A posse of youths, who are brandishing staves, as if in sport or strife. It is mimic warfare, and hereto correspond the divinatory meanings.

This is Behind You

It gives the influence that is just passed, or is now passing away.

The Moon from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Instability, inconstancy, silence, lesser degrees of deception and error.

Papus's Divinatory Meanings (When Upright)

Hidden Enemies. Danger.

Card Description

The distinction between this card and some of the conventional types is that the moon is increasing on what is called the side of mercy, to the right of the observer. It has sixteen chief and sixteen secondary rays. The card represents life of the imagination apart from life of the spirit. The path between the towers is the issue into the unknown. The dog and wolf are the fears of the natural mind in the presence of that place of exit, when there is only reflected light to guide it. The last reference is a key to another form of symbolism. The intellectual light is a reflection and beyond it is the unknown mystery which it cannot shew forth. It illuminates our animal nature, types of which are represented below--the dog, the wolf and that which comes up out of the deeps, the nameless and hideous tendency which is lower than the savage beast. It strives to attain manifestation, symbolized by crawling from the abyss of water to the land, but as a rule it sinks back whence it came. The face of the mind directs a calm gaze upon the unrest below; the dew of thought falls; the message is: Peace, be still; and it may be that there shall come a calm upon the animal nature, while the abyss beneath shall cease from giving up a form.

This is Before You

It shows the influence that is coming into action and will operate in the near future.

Seven of Pentacles from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Cause for anxiety regarding money which it may be proposed to lend.

Papus's Divinatory Meanings (When Upright)

A large fortune.

Card Description
