foresight, evasion, disarming the opposition

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Dark girl; a good card; it promises a country life after a competence has been secured.

Your Hopes and Fears

Justice from the Alleged Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

justice, reason, legal matters

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Fortitude. This is one of the cardinal virtues, of which I shall speak later. The female figure is usually represented as closing the mouth of a lion. In the earlier form which is printed by Court de Gebelin, she is obviously opening it. The first alternative is better symbolically, but either is an instance of strength in its conventional understanding, and conveys the idea of mastery. It has been said that the figure represents organic force, moral force and the principle of all force.

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.

Death from the Alleged Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

traumatic change, delayed change

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

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.
