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.
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.
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.
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.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings
Ill-advised combinations, Disunion, Clashing interests, &c.
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.
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.
Six of Cups from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
A card of the past and of memories, looking back, as--for example--on childhood; happiness, enjoyment, but coming rather from the past; things that have vanished. Another reading reverses this, giving new relations, new knowledge, new environment, and then the children are disporting in an unfamiliar precinct.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings
The Past, passed by, Faded, Vanished, Disappeared
Card Description
Children in an old garden, their cups filled with flowers.
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.
Ace of Pentacles from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
The evil side of wealth, bad intelligence; also great riches. In any case it shews prosperity, comfortable material conditions, but whether these are of advantage to the possessor will depend on whether the card is reversed or not.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings
Purse of Gold, Money, Gain, Help, Profit, Riches.
Card Description
A hand--issuing, as usual, from a cloud--holds up a pentacle.
This is Behind You
It gives the influence that is just passed, or is now passing away.
Ace of Swords from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Triumph, the excessive degree in everything, conquest, triumph of force. It is a card of great force, in love as well as in hatred. The crown may carry a much higher significance than comes usually within the sphere of fortune-telling.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings
Triumph, Fecundity, Fertility, Prosperity
Card Description
A hand issues from a cloud, grasping as word, the point of which is encircled by a crown.
This is Before You
It shows the influence that is coming into action and will operate in the near future.
Eight of Pentacles from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
Voided ambition, vanity, cupidity, exaction, usury. It may also signify the possession of skill, in the sense of the ingenious mind turned to cunning and intrigue.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings
Flattery, Usury, Hypocrisy, Shifty.
Card Description
An artist in stone at his work, which he exhibits in the form of trophies.
Your Self
Signifies the person or thing about which the question has been asked, and shows its position or attitude in the circumstances.
Strength from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
Despotism, abuse if power, weakness, discord, sometimes even disgrace.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings
Bigotry, Want of Balance, Abuse of Justice, Over-severity, Inequality, Bias.
Card Description
A woman, over whose head there broods the same symbol of life which we have seen in the card of the Magician, is closing the jaws of a lion. The only point in which this design differs from the conventional presentations is that her beneficent fortitude has already subdued the lion, which is being led by a chain of flowers. For reasons which satisfy myself, this card has been interchanged with that of justice, which is usually numbered eight. As the variation carries nothing with it which will signify to the reader, there is no cause for explanation. Fortitude, in one of its most exalted aspects, is connected with the Divine Mystery of Union; the virtue, of course, operates in all planes, and hence draws on all in its symbolism. It connects also with innocentia inviolata, and with the strength which resides in contemplation. These higher meanings are, however, matters of inference, and I do not suggest that they are transparent on the surface of the card. They are intimated in a concealed manner by the chain of flowers, which signifies, among many other things, the sweet yoke and the light burden of Divine Law, when it has been taken into the heart of hearts. The card has nothing to do with self-confidence in the ordinary sense, though this has been suggested--but it concerns the confidence of those whose strength is God, who have found their refuge in Him. There is one aspect in which the lion signifies the passions, and she who is called Strength is the higher nature in its liberation. It has walked upon the asp and the basilisk and has trodden down the lion and the dragon.
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.
Ace of Wands from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
Fall, decadence, ruin, perdition, to perish also a certain clouded joy.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings
Persecution, Pursuits Voilence, Vexation, Cruelty, Tyranny.

Nine of Wands from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
Obstacles, adversity, calamity.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers's Divinatory Meanings
Obstacles, Crosses, Delay, Displeasure.
Card Description
The figure leans upon his staff and has an expectant look, as if awaiting an enemy. Behind are eight other staves--erect, in orderly disposition, like a palisade.
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.
Eight of Wands from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
Arrows of jealousy, internal dispute, stingings of conscience, quarrels; and domestic disputes for persons who are married.

Quarrels, Intestine disputes, Discord.
Card Description
The card represents motion through the immovable-a flight of wands through an open country; but they draw to the term of their course. That which they signify is at hand; it may be even on the threshold.
