The Meanings of these Tarot Cards

Past

What has already occurred; the past.

The Star from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Arrogance, haughtiness, impotence.

Papus's Divinatory Meanings (When Upright)

Hope.

Card Description

A great, radiant star of eight rays, surrounded by seven lesser stars--also of eight rays. The female figure in the foreground is entirely naked. Her left knee is on the land and her right foot upon the water. She pours Water of Life from two great ewers, irrigating sea and land. Behind her is rising ground and on the right a shrub or tree, whereon a bird alights. The figure expresses eternal youth and beauty. The star is l\'etoile flamboyante, which appears in Masonic symbolism, but has been confused therein. That which the figure communicates to the living scene is the substance of the heavens and the elements. It has been said truly that the mottoes of this card are "Waters of Life freely" and "Gifts of the Spirit." The summary of several tawdry explanations says that it is a card of hope. On other planes it has been certified as immortality and interior light. For the majority of prepared minds, the figure will appear as the type of Truth unveiled, glorious in undying beauty, pouring on the waters of the soul some part and measure of her priceless possession. But she is in reality the Great Mother in the Kabalistic Sephira Binah, which is supernal Understanding, who communicates to the Sephiroth that are below in the measure that they can receive her influx.

Present

What is occurring now; the present.

Page of Swords from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Authority, overseeing, secret service, vigilance, spying, examination, and the qualities thereto belonging.

Papus's Divinatory Meanings

A child. An enemy. Bad news. Delay.

Card Description

A lithe, active figure holds a sword upright in both hands, while in the act of swift walking. He is passing over rugged land, and about his way the clouds are collocated wildly. He is alert and lithe, looking this way and that, as if an expected enemy might appear at any moment.

Future

What has not yet occurred; the future.

King of Wands from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Good, but severe; austere, yet tolerant.

Papus's Divinatory Meanings (When Upright)

A dark man. A friend. Generally married. The father of a family.

Card Description

The physical and emotional nature to which this card is attributed is dark, ardent, lithe, animated, impassioned, noble. The King uplifts a flowering wand, and wears, like his three correspondences in the remaining suits, what is called a cap of maintenance beneath his crown. He connects with the symbol of the lion, which is emblazoned on the back of his throne.
