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.

Six of Swords from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Journey by water, route, travel, messenger, assistance.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

The voyage will be pleasant.

Card Description

A ferryman carries passengers in his raft to the far shore. The course is smooth, and the freight is light; the work is not beyond his strength.

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.

Two of Pentacles from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Elation and recreation; also news and messages in writing, as obstacles; agitation, trouble, entanglement.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Troubles are more imaginary than real.

Card Description

A young man dances with a pentacle in either hand. They are joined by an endless cord: the number 8 on its side.

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 Swords from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Conformity and the equilibrium it suggests, courage, friendship, peace in a state of arms; to some extent, harmony: however, swords do not generally symbolize benevolent forces in human affairs.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Gifts for a lady, influential protection for a man in search of help.

Card Description

A blindfolded woman balances two swords upon her shoulders.

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.

Seven of Wands from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

This is a card of valor—six are attacking one, but he has the upper hand. On the intellectual plane, it signifies discussion and debate; in business negotiations, trade wars, barter, competition. It is also a card of success—the combatant is on top and his enemies are unable to reach him.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

A dark child.

Card Description

A young man on a rocky hill brandishes a staff; six other staves are raised toward him from below.

This is Behind You

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

King of Pentacles from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Valor, capable intelligence, business and normal intellectual aptitude, sometimes mathematical gifts and achievements of this kind; success in these paths.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

A rather dark man, a merchant, master, professor.

Card Description

The face is rather grim, suggesting courage, but is also somewhat lethargic. The bull's head should be noted as a recurrent symbol on the throne.

This is Before You

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

The Sun from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Material success, fortunate marriage, contentment.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

The Sun. The luminary is distinguished in older cards by chief rays that are waved and salient alternately and by secondary salient rays. It appears to shed its influence on earth not only by light and heat, but--like the moon--by drops of dew. Court de Gebelin termed these tears of gold and of pearl, just as he identified the lunar dew with the tears of Isis. Beneath the dog-star there is a wall suggesting an enclosure-as it might be, a walled garden-wherein are two children, either naked or lightly clothed, facing a water, and gambolling, or running hand in hand. Eliphas Levi says that these are sometimes replaced by a spinner unwinding destinies, and otherwise by a much better symbol-a naked child mounted on a white horse and displaying a scarlet standard.

Card Description

A naked child mounted on a white horse displays a red banner. The sun shining above represents consciousness in the Spirit—with direct, as opposed to reflected, light. The archetype of humanity has become a little child beneath its rays—a child in the sense of simplicity, with innocence in the sense of wisdom. In that simplicity, he bears the seal of Nature and Art; in that innocence, he signifies the restored world. When the self-knowing spirit has dawned in the consciousness above the natural mind, that mind is renewed and directs the animal nature in a state of perfect conformity.

Your Self

Signifies the person or thing about which the question has been asked, and shows its position or attitude in the circumstances.

Ten of Wands from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Oppression, especially that of fortune, gain, or any kind of success. Success will be mocked if the Nine of Swords follows. If it is a question of a lawsuit, loss is certain.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Difficulties and contradictions, if near a good card.

Card Description

A man carries ten staves, burdened down by their weight. It represents the burden of material wealth. It may also represent false-seeming, disguise, corruption, as if the place the man approaches will suffer beatings from the rods he carries.

Your House

Your environment and the tendencies at work therein which have an effect on the matter €”for instance, your position in life, the influence of immediate friends, and so forth.

Six of Pentacles from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Presents, gifts, gratification.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

The present must not be relied on.

Card Description

A merchant weighs money in a pair of scales, and distributes it to the needy and distressed. It is a testimony to his own success in life, as well as to his goodness of heart.

Your Hopes and Fears

Page of Swords from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Authority, supervision, vigilance, spying, examination.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

An indiscreet person will pry into the Querent's secrets.

Card Description

An agile, active figure holds a sword upright in both hands. He walks swiftly over rugged land, and around him the clouds are moving wildly. He is alert and watchful, looking this way and that, as if an expected enemy might appear at any moment.
