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.

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 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.

Justice from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Fairness, rightness, integrity, accomplishment; triumph of the deserving side in law.

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.

Card Description

This figure sits between pillars, like the High Priestess. The pillars of Justice open into one world and the pillars of the High Priestess into another. The operation of spiritual justice is like the breathing of the Spirit where it wills, and we have no way to explain it. It is like the possession of the fairy gifts, high gifts, and the gracious gifts of the poet—we either have them or we don't, and their presence is as much a mystery as their absence.

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.

Eight of Wands from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Activity in undertakings, the path of such activity; swiftness, as that of an express messenger; great haste, great hope, speed toward an end that promises certain happiness; generally, things on the move; also the arrows of love.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Domestic disputes for a married person.

Card Description

This card represents motion through the unmoving—a flight of wands through an open countryside. They approach the end of their path. The future they signify is at hand; it may be even on the threshold.

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.

Two of Cups from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Love, passion, friendship, affinity, union, consensus, sympathy, the relationship between men and women.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Favourable in things of pleasure and business, as well as love; also wealth and honour.

Card Description

A young man and woman pledge themselves to one another. Above their cups rises the Caduceus of Hermes, with a lion's head between its spread wings. It represents our desire to find a soul mate, by which desire Nature is sanctified.

This is Behind You

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

Ten of Wands from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Opposition, difficulties, conspiracies.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings (When Upright)

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.

This is Before You

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

Eight of Pentacles from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Voided ambition, vanity, greed, extortion, loan-sharking; also the possession of skill—the ingenious mind turned to cunning and intrigue.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

The Querent will be compromised in a matter of money-lending.

Card Description

An artist at his work in stone, which he exhibits in the form of trophies.

Your Self

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

Death from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

End, mortality, destruction, corruption; also, for a man, the loss of a benefactor; for a woman, many inconsistencies; for a maiden, failure of marriage prospects.

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.

Card Description

Death appears here as one of the apocalyptic visions rather than a grim reaper—to show change, transformation, and a passage from lower to higher. In the background lies the whole world of ascent in the spirit. In the foreground, the mysterious horseman moves slowly, bearing a black banner emblazoned with the Mystic Rose, which signifies life. Between two pillars on the horizon shines the sun of immortality. The horseman carries no visible weapon, but king and child and maiden fall before him, while a bishop with clasped hands awaits his end. The natural transition of man to the next stage of his being is one form of his progress. While still in this life, the exotic and almost unknown entrance into the state of mystical death is a change in the form of consciousness. It is the passage into a state to which ordinary death is neither the path nor the gate.

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.

Four of Swords from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Wise administration, deliberation, economy, greed, precaution, covenant.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

A certain success following wise administration.

Card Description

The corpse of a knight in a position of prayer, laid out upon his tomb.

Your Hopes and Fears

Six of Wands from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

A victor triumphing; also great news, such as might be carried by the King's courier; expectation crowned with its own desire, crowned with hope—in other words, expectation that is its own reward.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Servants may lose the confidence of their masters; a young lady may be betrayed by a friend.

Card Description

A horseman wearing a laurel crown holds a staff adorned with another laurel crown. Footmen with more staves are at his side.

The Final Result

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

Knight of Pentacles from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Inertia, idleness, inactivity, stagnation; also stillness, discouragement, carelessness.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

A brave man out of employment.

Card Description

A knight rides a slow, heavy horse, similar in appearance to himself. He displays his symbol, but does not look at it.
