Queen of Tarot

The ancient wisdom of the cards

Tarot Reading What is the true psychological and karmic reason why Dani doesn't want to be in a relationship with me, but also doesn't want to let go or allow things to progress? Is it love, ego, or what is that 'secret third thing' that explains her contradiction?

The Meanings of these Tarot Cards

Past

What has already occurred; the past.

Nine of Cups from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Goodwill, contentment, physical well-being; also victory, success, advantage; satisfaction for the Querent.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Of good augury for military men.

Card Description

A stout man has feasted to his heart's content. An abundant supply of wine is behind him, as if to show that the future is also assured. The picture offers the material side of assurance only: it does not reflect the spiritual.

Present

What is occurring now; the present.

The Sun from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

The same, in a lesser sense.

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

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.

Future

What has not yet occurred; the future.

The Emperor from the Vivid Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Benevolence, compassion, recognition; also confusion to enemies, obstruction, immaturity.

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

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.
