The Meanings of these Tarot Cards

Past

What has already occurred; the past.

Death from the Alleged Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

change, ending, new life

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Death. The method of presentation is almost invariable, and embodies a bourgeois form of symbolism. The scene is the field of life, and amidst ordinary rank vegetation there are living arms and heads protruding from the ground. One of the heads is crowned, and a skeleton with a great scythe is in the act of mowing it. The transparent and unescapable meaning is death, but the alternatives allocated to the symbol are change and transformation. Other heads have been swept from their place previously, but it is, in its current and patent meaning, more especially a card of the death of Kings. In the exotic sense it has been said to signify the ascent of the spirit in the divine spheres, creation and destruction, perpetual movement, and so forth.

Present

What is occurring now; the present.

Six of Swords from the Alleged Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

improvement, passage, journey

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

The voyage will be pleasant.

Future

What has not yet occurred; the future.

The Moon from the Alleged Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

confusion, depression, deception

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

The Moon. Some eighteenth-century cards shew the luminary on its waning side; in the debased edition of Etteilla, it is the moon at night in her plenitude, set in a heaven of stars; of recent years the moon is shewn on the side of her increase. In nearly all presentations she is shining brightly and shedding the moisture of fertilizing dew in great drops. Beneath there are two towers, between which a path winds to the verge of the horizon. Two dogs, or alternatively a wolf and dog, are baying at the moon, and in the foreground there is water, through which a crayfish moves towards the land.
