Querent

The querent is the card that this user felt represented them or their situation best.

The Fool

Card Meaning When Upright

Folly, mania, extravagance, intoxication, delirium, frenzy, betrayal.

Card Description

With light step, as if earth and its obstacles had little power to restrain him, a young man in gorgeous clothing pauses at the brink of a precipice among the great heights of the world; he surveys the blue distance before him—its expanse of sky rather than the landscape below. He seems to still be walking, though he is stationary at the given moment; his dog is still bounding. The edge that opens on the depth holds no terror for him, as if angels were waiting to uphold him, should he leap from that height. His face is full of intelligence and expectant wonder. He has a rose in one hand and in the other an expensive cane, which hangs over his right shoulder, dangling a curiously embroidered pouch. He is a prince of the other world, traveling through this one—all in the glory of the crisp morning air. The sun, which shines behind him, knows where he came from, where he is going, and how he will return: by another path, after many days. He is the Spirit in search of experience.

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.

Four of Cups from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Weariness, disgust, aversion, imaginary annoyances; also mixed pleasure.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Contrarieties.

Card Description

A young man sits under a tree, contemplating three cups on the grass before him. An arm extends from a cloud to offer him another cup. His appears discontent, as if the wine of this world had barely satisfied him. Another wine—a fairy gift—is now offered to the vagabond, but he sees no consolation in it, either.

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.

Six of Cups from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Happiness and enjoyment coming from the past; things that have vanished.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Pleasant memories.

Card Description

Children play in an old garden, their cups filled with flowers. A card of the past and of memories, as if looking back on childhood.

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.

The Emperor from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Stability, power, protection, realization; a great person; aid, reason, conviction; also authority and will.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

The Emperor, by imputation the spouse of the former. He is occasionally represented as wearing, in addition to his personal insignia, the stars or ribbons of some order of chivalry. I mention this to shew that the cards are a medley of old and new emblems. Those who insist upon the evidence of the one may deal, if they can, with the other. No effectual argument for the antiquity of a particular design can be drawn from the fact that it incorporates old material; but there is also none which can be based on sporadic novelties, the intervention of which may signify only the unintelligent hand of an editor or of a late draughtsman.

Card Description

He has a form of the Crux ansata (like an Ankh) for his scepter and a globe in his left hand. He is a crowned monarch—commanding, stately, seated on a throne. The arms of his throne have rams' heads on the front. He is execution and realization, the power of this world, clothed with the highest of its natural attributes. He is the virile power to which the Empress responds, and in this sense, he is the one who seeks to remove the Veil of Isis; yet she remains a virgin.

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.

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 Behind You

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

Ace of Pentacles from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Perfect contentment, cheerfulness, ecstasy; also quick intelligence; gold.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

The most favourable of all cards.

Card Description

A hand extending from a cloud holds up a pentacle.

This is Before You

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

Four of Wands from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Country life, safe haven, domestic harvest; home, rest, tranquility, harmony, prosperity, peace, and the perfection of these.

Unexpected good fortune.

Card Description

From four staves planted in the foreground, a great garland hangs. Two female figures hold up bouquets. To one side is a bridge over a moat, leading to an old mansion.

Your Self

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

Six of Pentacles from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Presents, gifts, gratification.

The present must not be relied on.

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.

Generally favourable may signify a good marriage.

Card Description

The physical and emotional nature of this card is dark, avid, agile, and noble. The King holds a flowering wand, and wears a cap beneath his crown. He is symbolized by the lion engraved on the back of his throne.

Your Hopes and Fears

The culmination which is brought about by the influences shewn by the other cards that have been turned up in the divination.

The Moon from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Hidden enemies, danger, slander, darkness, terror, deception, occult forces, error.

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.

Card Description

In this card the moon is waxing on what is called the side of mercy, to the right of the observer. It has sixteen chief and sixteen secondary rays. Drops of dew descend from above. Beneath are two towers, between which a path winds up to the horizon. A wolf and dog are baying at the moon, and in the foreground there is water, through which a crayfish moves toward the land. The card represents life of the imagination, apart from life of the spirit. The path between the towers is our path into the unknown. The dog and wolf are the fears of the natural mind in the presence of that mystery, when there is only reflected light to guide it.
