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.

Five of Wands from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Imitation, as, for example, sham fight, but also the strenuous competition and struggle of the search after riches and fortune. In this sense it connects with the battle of life. Hence some attributions say that it is a card of gold, gain, opulence.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Success in financial speculation.

Card Description

A posse of youths, who are brandishing staves, as if in sport or strife. It is mimic warfare, and hereto correspond the divinatory meanings.

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.

Two of Pentacles from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

On the one hand it is represented as a card of gaiety, recreation and its connexions, which is the subject of the design; but it is read also as news and messages in writing, as obstacles, agitation, trouble, embroilment.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Troubles are more imaginary than real.

Card Description

A young man, in the act of dancing, has a pentacle in either hand, and they are joined by that endless cord which is like the number 8 reversed.

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.

Knight of Cups from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Arrival, approach--sometimes that of a messenger; advances, proposition, demeanour, invitation, incitement.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

A visit from a friend, who will bring unexpected money to the Querent.

Card Description

Graceful, but not warlike; riding quietly, wearing a winged helmet, referring to those higher graces of the imagination which sometimes characterize this card. He too is a dreamer, but the images of the side of sense haunt him in his vision.

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 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.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Gifts for a lady, influential protection for a man in search of help.

Card Description

A hoodwinked female figure balances two swords upon her shoulders.

This is Behind You

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

Six of Cups from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Inheritance to fall in quickly.

Card Description

Children in an old garden, their cups filled with flowers.

This is Before You

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

Seven of Pentacles from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Cause for anxiety regarding money which it may be proposed to lend.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Impatience, apprehension, suspicion.

Card Description

A young man, leaning on his staff, looks intently at seven pentacles attached to a clump of greenery on his right; one would say that these were his treasures and that his heart was there.

Your Self

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

Temperance from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Things connected with churches, religions, sects, the priesthood, sometimes even the priest who will marry the Querent; also disunion, unfortunate combinations, competing interests.

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

Temperance. The winged figure of a female--who, in opposition to all doctrine concerning the hierarchy of angels, is usually allocated to this order of ministering spirits--is pouring liquid from one pitcher to another. In his last work on the Tarot, Dr. Papus abandons the traditional form and depicts a woman wearing an Egyptian head-dress. The first thing which seems clear on the surface is that the entire symbol has no especial connexion with Temperance, and the fact that this designation has always obtained for the card offers a very obvious instance of a meaning behind meaning, which is the title in chief to consideration in respect of the Tarot as a whole.

Card Description

A winged angel, with the sign of the sun upon his forehead and on his breast the square and triangle of the septenary. I speak of him in the masculine sense, but the figure is neither male nor female. It is held to be pouring the essences of life from chalice to chalice. It has one foot upon the earth and one upon waters, thus illustrating the nature of the essences. A direct path goes up to certain heights on the verge of the horizon, and above there is a great light, through which a crown is seen vaguely. Hereof is some part of the Secret of Eternal Life, as it is possible to man in his incarnation. All the conventional emblems are renounced herein. So also are the conventional meanings, which refer to changes in the seasons, perpetual movement of life and even the combination of ideas. It is, moreover, untrue to say that the figure symbolizes the genius of the sun, though it is the analogy of solar light, realized in the third part of our human triplicity. It is called Temperance fantastically, because, when the rule of it obtains in our consciousness, it tempers, combines and harmonises the psychic and material natures. Under that rule we know in our rational part something of whence we came and whither we are going.

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.

Page of Swords from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Authority, overseeing, secret service, vigilance, spying, examination, and the qualities thereto belonging.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

An indiscreet person will pry into the Querent's secrets.

Card Description

A lithe, active figure holds a sword upright in both hands, while in the act of swift walking. He is passing over rugged land, and about his way the clouds are collocated wildly. He is alert and lithe, looking this way and that, as if an expected enemy might appear at any moment.

Card Description

The waters are beneath, and thereon are water-lilies; the hand issues from the cloud, holding in its palm the cup, from which four streams are pouring; a dove, bearing in its bill a cross-marked Host, descends to place the Wafer in the Cup; the dew of water is falling on all sides. It is an intimation of that which may lie behind the Lesser Arcana.

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.

Seven of Wands from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

It is a card of valour, for, on the surface, six are attacking one, who has, however, the vantage position. On the intellectual plane, it signifies discussion, wordy strife; in business--negotiations, war of trade, barter, competition. It is further a card of success, for the combatant is on the top and his enemies may be unable to reach him.
