Card One
Justice from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
justice, reason, legal matters
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Fortitude. This is one of the cardinal virtues, of which I shall speak later. The female figure is usually represented as closing the mouth of a lion. In the earlier form which is printed by Court de Gebelin, she is obviously opening it. The first alternative is better symbolically, but either is an instance of strength in its conventional understanding, and conveys the idea of mastery. It has been said that the figure represents organic force, moral force and the principle of all force.
Card Two
Three of Swords from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
prolonged conflict, pain, destruction
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
A meeting with one whom the Querent has compromised; also a nun.
Card Three
King of Cups from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
a sociable, loving, sensuous man
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Beware of ill-will on the part of a man of position, and of hypocrisy pretending to help.
Card Four
Page of Swords from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
cunning, underhand dealings
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Astonishing news.

Card Five
Nine of Swords from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
despair, depression, mental anguish
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
An ecclesiastic, a priest; generally, a card of bad omen.
Card Six
Two of Clubs from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
indecision, disillusionment, anticlimax
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings (When Upright)
A young lady may expect trivial disappointments.
Card Seven
The Star from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
peace, healing, rest
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The Star, Dog-Star, or Sirius, also called fantastically the Star of the Magi. Grouped about it are seven minor luminaries, and beneath it is a naked female figure, with her left knee upon the earth and her right foot upon the water. She is in the act of pouring fluids from two vessels. A bird is perched on a tree near her; for this a butterfly on a rose has been substituted in some later cards. So also the Star has been called that of Hope. This is one of the cards which Court de Gebelin describes as wholly Egyptian-that is to say, in his own reverie.
Card Eight
Three of Cups from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
selfishness, exploitation, domestic problems
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Consolation, cure, end of the business.
Card Nine
King of Coins from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
reliability, success, security
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
A rather dark man, a merchant, master, professor.
Card Ten
Queen of Swords from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
a mature woman, keen perception, independent
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
A widow.
Card Eleven
The Empress from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
security, well-being, motherhood
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The Empress, who is sometimes represented with full face, while her correspondence, the Emperor, is in profile. As there has been some tendency to ascribe a symbolical significance to this distinction, it seems desirable to say that it carries no inner meaning. The Empress has been connected with the ideas of universal fecundity and in a general sense with activity.

Card Twelve
Ace of Cups from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
emotion, love, psychic powers
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Inflexible will, unalterable law.
Card Thirteen
Nine of Coins from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
material gain, security achieved through effort
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Prompt fulfillment of what is presaged by neighbouring cards. Reversed:Vain hopes.
Card Fourteen
The Chariot from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
willpower, ambition
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The Chariot. This is represented in some extant codices as being drawn by two sphinxes, and the device is in consonance with the symbolism, but it must not be supposed that such was its original form; the variation was invented to support a particular historical hypothesis. In the eighteenth century white horses were yoked to the car. As regards its usual name, the lesser stands for the greater; it is really the King in his triumph, typifying, however, the victory which creates kingship as its natural consequence and not the vested royalty of the fourth card. M. Court de Gebelin said that it was Osiris Triumphing, the conquering sun in spring-time having vanquished the obstacles of winter. We know now that Osiris rising from the dead is not represented by such obvious symbolism. Other animals than horses have also been used to draw the currus triumphalis, as, for example, a lion and a leopard.
Card Fifteen
Strength from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
moral strength, self-control
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Justice. That the Tarot, though it is of all reasonable antiquity, is not of time immemorial, is shewn by this card, which could have been presented in a much more archaic manner. Those, however, who have gifts of discernment in matters of this kind will not need to be told that age is in no sense of the essence of the consideration; the Rite of Closing the Lodge in the Third Craft Grade of Masonry may belong to the late eighteenth century, but the fact signifies nothing; it is still the summary of all the instituted and official Mysteries. The female figure of the eleventh card is said to be Astraea, who personified the same virtue and is represented by the same symbols. This goddess notwithstanding, and notwithstanding the vulgarian Cupid, the Tarot is not of Roman mythology, or of Greek either. Its presentation of justice is supposed to be one of the four cardinal virtues included in the sequence of Greater Arcana; but, as it so happens, the fourth emblem is wanting, and it became necessary for the commentators to discover it at all costs. They did what it was possible to do, and yet the laws of research have never succeeded in extricating the missing Persephone under the form of Prudence. Court de Gebelin attempted to solve the difficulty by a tour de force, and believed that he had extracted what he wanted from the symbol of the Hanged Man--wherein he deceived himself. The Tarot has, therefore, its justice, its Temperance also and its Fortitude, but--owing to a curious omission--it does not offer us any type of Prudence, though it may be admitted that, in some respects, the isolation of the Hermit, pursuing a solitary path by the light of his own lamp, gives, to those who can receive it, a certain high counsel in respect of the via prudentiae.
