Seven of Swords from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Design, attempt, wish, hope, confidence; also quarrelling, a plan that may fail, annoyance. The design is uncertain in its import, because the significations are widely at variance with each other.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings
Hope, Confidence, Desire, Attempt, Wish
Card Description
A man in the act of carrying away five swords rapidly; the two others of the card remain stuck in the ground. A camp is close at hand.

S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings

A hand issuing from a cloud grasps a stout wand or club.

The Fool from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Folly, mania, extravagance, intoxication, delirium, frenzy, bewrayment.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings
Folly, Expiation, Wavering
Card Description
With light step, as if earth and its trammels had little power to restrain him, a young man in gorgeous vestments 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 prospect below. His act of eager walking is still indicated, though he is stationary at the given moment; his dog is still bounding. The edge which opens on the depth has no terror; it is as if angels were waiting to uphold him, if it came about that he leaped from the height. His countenance is full of intelligence and expectant dream. He has a rose in one hand and in the other a costly wand, from which depends over his right shoulder a wallet curiously embroidered. He is a prince of the other world on his travels through this one-all amidst the morning glory, in the keen air. The sun, which shines behind him, knows whence he came, whither he is going, and how he will return by another path after many days. He is the spirit in search of experience. Many symbols of the Instituted Mysteries are summarized in this card, which reverses, under high warrants, all the confusions that have preceded it. In his Manual of Cartomancy, Grand Orient has a curious suggestion of the office of Mystic Fool, as apart of his process in higher divination; but it might call for more than ordinary gifts to put it into operation. We shall see how the card fares according to the common arts of fortune-telling, and it will be an example, to those who can discern, of the fact, otherwise so evident, that the Trumps Major had no place originally in the arts of psychic gambling, when cards are used as the counters and pretexts. Of the circumstances under which this art arose we know, however, very little. The conventional explanations say that the Fool signifies the flesh, the sensitive life, and by a peculiar satire its subsidiary name was at one time the alchemist, as depicting folly at the most insensate stage.
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 Swords from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
Cruelty, perversity, barbarity, perfidy, evil intention.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings
A Wicked Man, Chagrin, Worry, Grief, Fear, Disturbance.
Card Description
He sits in judgment, holding the unsheathed sign of his suit. He recalls, of course, the conventional Symbol of justice in the Trumps Major, and he may represent this virtue, but he is rather the power of life and death, in virtue of his office.
This is Behind You
It gives the influence that is just passed, or is now passing away.
King of Pentacles from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
Vice, weakness, ugliness, perversity, corruption, peril.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings
An old and vicious Man, a Dangerous Man, Doubt, Fear, Peril, Danger.
Card Description
The figure calls for no special description the face is rather dark, suggesting also courage, but somewhat lethargic in tendency. The bull's head should be noted as a recurrent symbol on the throne. The sign of this suit is represented throughout as engraved or blazoned with the pentagram, typifying the correspondence of the four elements in human nature and that by which they may be governed. In many old Tarot packs this suit stood for current coin, money, deniers. I have not invented the substitution of pentacles and I have no special cause to sustain in respect of the alternative. But the consensus of divinatory meanings is on the side of some change, because the cards do not happen to deal especially with questions of money.
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 Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
The meaning remains unaltered; it is prosperity, increase, felicity, beauty, embellishment.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings
Prosperity, Success, Happiness, Advantage.
Card Description
From the four great staves planted in the foreground there is a great garland suspended; two female figures uplift nosegays; at their side is a bridge over a moat, leading to an old manorial house.
Your Self
Signifies the person or thing about which the question has been asked, and shows its position or attitude in the circumstances.
Two of Swords from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Conformity and the equipoise which it suggests, courage, friendship, concord in a state of arms; another reading gives tenderness, affection, intimacy. The suggestion of harmony and other favourable readings must be considered in a qualified manner, as Swords generally are not symbolical of beneficent forces in human affairs.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings
Friendship, Valour, Firmness, Courage
Card Description
A hoodwinked female figure balances two swords upon her shoulders.
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.
King of Cups from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
Dishonest, double-dealing man; roguery, exaction, injustice, vice, scandal, pillage, considerable loss.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings
A Man of good position, but shifty in his Dealings, Distrust, Doubt, Suspicion.
Card Description
He holds a short sceptre in his left hand and a great cup in his right; his throne is set upon the sea; on one side a ship is riding and on the other a dolphin is leaping. The implicit is that the Sign of the Cup naturally refers to water, which appears in all the court cards.
Your Hopes and Fears
The Sun from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
The same in a lesser sense.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings
These in a minor degree.
Card Description
The naked child mounted on a white horse and displaying a red standard has been mentioned already as the better symbolism connected with this card. It is the destiny of the Supernatural East and the great and holy light which goes before the endless procession of humanity, coming out from the walled garden of the sensitive life and passing on the journey home. The card signifies, therefore, the transit from the manifest light of this world, represented by the glorious sun of earth, to the light of the world to come, which goes before aspiration and is typified by the heart of a child. But the last allusion is again the key to a different form or aspect of the symbolism. The sun is that of consciousness in the spirit - the direct as the antithesis of the reflected light. The characteristic type of humanity has become a little child therein--a child in the sense of simplicity and innocence in the sense of wisdom. In that simplicity, he bears the seal of Nature and of 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 in its renewal leads forth the animal nature in a state of perfect conformity.
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.
Nine of Swords from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
Imprisonment, suspicion, doubt, reasonable fear, shame.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings
Wise distrust, Suspicion, Fear, Doubt, Shady character.
Card Description
One seated on her couch in lamentation, with the swords over her. She is as one who knows no sorrow which is like unto hers. It is a card of utter desolation.
