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.

Death from the Alleged Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

change, ending, new life

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.

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.

Seven of Cups from the Alleged Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

fantasy, illusion, choice

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Fair child; idea, design, resolve, movement.

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.

Five of Clubs from the Alleged Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

minor problems, struggle

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Success in financial speculation.

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.

The Emperor from the Alleged Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

authority, responsibility, promotion

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.

This is Behind You

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

The Pope from the Alleged Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

professional advice, learning, teaching

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

The High Priest or Hierophant, called also Spiritual Father, and more commonly and obviously the Pope. It seems even to have been named the Abbot, and then its correspondence, the High Priestess, was the Abbess or Mother of the Convent. Both are arbitrary names. The insignia of the figures are papal, and in such case the High Priestess is and can be only the Church, to whom Pope and priests are married by the spiritual rite of ordination. I think, however, that in its primitive form this card did not represent the Roman Pontiff.

This is Before You

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

Six of Clubs from the Alleged Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

victory, triumph

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

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

Your Self

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

King of Clubs from the Alleged Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

an athletic man, just, kind, and generous

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Generally favourable may signify a good marriage.

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.

Five of Coins from the Alleged Tarot Deck

material trouble, poverty, worry

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Conquest of fortune by reason.

Your Hopes and Fears

Nine of Clubs from the Alleged Tarot Deck

Generally speaking, a bad card.

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.
