A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The Fool, Mate, or Unwise Man. Court de Gebelin places it at the head of the whole series as the zero or negative which is presupposed by numeration, and as this is a simpler so also it is a better arrangement. It has been abandoned because in later times the cards have been attributed to the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, and there has been apparently some difficulty about allocating the zero symbol satisfactorily in a sequence of letters all of which signify numbers. In the present reference of the card to the letter Shin, which corresponds to 200, the difficulty or the unreason remains. The truth is that the real arrangement of the cards has never transpired. The Fool carries a wallet; he is looking over his shoulder and does not know that he is on the brink of a precipice; but a dog or other animal--some call it a tiger--is attacking him from behind, and he is hurried to his destruction unawares. Etteilla has given a justifiable variation of this card--as generally understood--in the form of a court jester, with cap, bells and motley garb. The other descriptions say that the wallet contains the bearer's follies and vices, which seems bourgeois and arbitrary.
Card Six
Queen of Cups from the Sola Busca Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
(Polisena) Tolerance. Acceptance of the ideas of others.
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
A rich marriage for a man and a distinguished one for a woman.
Card Seven
Panfilio from the Sola Busca Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Grace, Dignity. Painters.
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The Magus, Magician, or juggler, the caster of the dice and mountebank, in the world of vulgar trickery. This is the colportage interpretation, and it has the same correspondence with the real symbolical meaning that the use of the Tarot in fortune-telling has with its mystic construction according to the secret science of symbolism. I should add that many independent students of the subject, following their own lights, have produced individual sequences of meaning in respect of the Trumps Major, and their lights are sometimes suggestive, but they are not the true lights. For example, Eliphas Levi says that the Magus signifies that unity which is the mother of numbers; others say that it is the Divine Unity; and one of the latest French commentators considers that in its general sense it is the will.
Card Eight
Catulo from the Sola Busca Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Poetic words.
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.
Card Nine
Seven of Cups from the Sola Busca Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Physical or material perfection. Artistic ideals. Aesthetics.
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Fair child; idea, design, resolve, movement.
Card Ten
Seven of Coins from the Sola Busca Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Financial success. The beginnings of wealth.
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Improved position for a lady's future husband.
Card Eleven
Ace of Coins from the Sola Busca Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
The beginning of a financial endeavor. Success obtained through service and perserverence.
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The most favourable of all cards.
Card Twelve
Knight of Swords from the Sola Busca Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
(Amone) One who brings disaster upon himself.
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Dispute with an imbecile person; for a woman, struggle with a rival, who will be conquered.
Card Thirteen
Two of Cups from the Sola Busca Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
Codependency.
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Passion.
Card Fourteen
Ipeo from the Sola Busca Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Jack of All Trades. One who can provide himself with anything he needs.
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The Star, Dog-Star, or Sirius, also called fantastically the Star of the Magi. Grouped about it are seven minor luminaries, and beneath it is a naked female figure, with her left knee upon the earth and her right foot upon the water. She is in the act of pouring fluids from two vessels. A bird is perched on a tree near her; for this a butterfly on a rose has been substituted in some later cards. So also the Star has been called that of Hope. This is one of the cards which Court de Gebelin describes as wholly Egyptian-that is to say, in his own reverie.
Card Fifteen
Lentulo from the Sola Busca Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Genuine apologies.
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The Moon. Some eighteenth-century cards shew the luminary on its waning side; in the debased edition of Etteilla, it is the moon at night in her plenitude, set in a heaven of stars; of recent years the moon is shewn on the side of her increase. In nearly all presentations she is shining brightly and shedding the moisture of fertilizing dew in great drops. Beneath there are two towers, between which a path winds to the verge of the horizon. Two dogs, or alternatively a wolf and dog, are baying at the moon, and in the foreground there is water, through which a crayfish moves towards the land.
Card Sixteen
Sabino from the Sola Busca Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
Failure to take advantage of honor or reputation fairly won.
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings (When Upright)
The Sun. The luminary is distinguished in older cards by chief rays that are waved and salient alternately and by secondary salient rays. It appears to shed its influence on earth not only by light and heat, but--like the moon--by drops of dew. Court de Gebelin termed these tears of gold and of pearl, just as he identified the lunar dew with the tears of Isis. Beneath the dog-star there is a wall suggesting an enclosure-as it might be, a walled garden-wherein are two children, either naked or lightly clothed, facing a water, and gambolling, or running hand in hand. Eliphas Levi says that these are sometimes replaced by a spinner unwinding destinies, and otherwise by a much better symbol-a naked child mounted on a white horse and displaying a scarlet standard.
Card Seventeen
Two of Coins from the Sola Busca Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
Taxes, or what is due to the authorities.
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Bad omen, ignorance, injustice.
Card Eighteen
Knight of Cups from the Sola Busca Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
(Tanabo) Creative block. Inability to work.
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Irregularity.
Card Nineteen
Nenbroto from the Sola Busca Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Tyranny. Jealous rulers.
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The Last judgment. I have spoken of this symbol already, the form of which is essentially invariable, even in the Etteilla set. An angel sounds his trumpet per sepulchra regionum, and the dead arise. It matters little that Etteilla omits the angel, or that Dr. Papus substitutes a ridiculous figure, which is, however, in consonance with the general motive of that Tarot set which accompanies his latest work. Before rejecting the transparent interpretation of the symbolism which is conveyed by the name of the card and by the picture which it presents to the eye, we should feel very sure of our ground. On the surface, at least, it is and can be only the resurrection of that triad--father, mother, child-whom we have met with already in the eighth card. M. Bourgeat hazards the suggestion that esoterically it is the symbol of evolution--of which it carries none of the signs. Others say that it signifies renewal, which is obvious enough; that it is the triad of human life; that it is the "generative force of the earth... and eternal life." Court de Gebelin makes himself impossible as usual, and points out that if the grave-stones were removed it could be accepted as a symbol of creation.
Card Twenty
King of Cups from the Sola Busca Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Reversed
(Lucio Cecilioir) An individual who craves media.
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Loss.
Card Twenty One
Queen of Wands from the Sola Busca Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
(Palas) An intellectual or academic woman.
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
A good harvest, which may be taken in several senses.
