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.

Ten of Pentacles from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Chance, fatality, loss, robbery, games of hazard; sometimes gift, dowry, pension.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

An occasion which may be fortunate or otherwise.

Card Description

A man and woman beneath an archway which gives entrance to a house and domain. They are accompanied by a child, who looks curiously at two dogs accosting an ancient personage seated in the foreground. The child's hand is on one of them.

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.

Three of Wands from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

The end of troubles, suspension or cessation of adversity, toil and disappointment.

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

A very good card; collaboration will favour enterprise.

Card Description

A calm, stately personage, with his back turned, looking from a cliff\'s edge at ships passing over the sea. Three staves are planted in the ground, and he leans slightly on one of them.

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.

King of Wands from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Good, but severe; austere, yet tolerant.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Advice that should be followed.

Card Description

The physical and emotional nature to which this card is attributed is dark, ardent, lithe, animated, impassioned, noble. The King uplifts a flowering wand, and wears, like his three correspondences in the remaining suits, what is called a cap of maintenance beneath his crown. He connects with the symbol of the lion, which is emblazoned on the back of his throne.

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.

Queen of Cups from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

The accounts vary; good woman; otherwise, distinguished woman but one not to be trusted; perverse woman; vice, dishonour, depravity.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

A rich marriage for a man and a distinguished one for a woman.

Card Description

Beautiful, fair, dreamy--as one who sees visions in a cup. This is, however, only one of her aspects; she sees, but she also acts, and her activity feeds her dream.

This is Behind You

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

Knight of Wands from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Departure, absence, flight, emigration. A dark young man, friendly. Change of residence.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

A bad card; according to some readings, alienation.

Card Description

He is shewn as if upon a journey, armed with a short wand, and although mailed is not on a warlike errand. He is passing mounds or pyramids. The motion of the horse is a key to the character of its rider, and suggests the precipitate mood, or things connected therewith.

This is Before You

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

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 Self

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

Six of Pentacles from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Desire, cupidity, envy, jealousy, illusion.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

A check on the Querent's ambition.

Card Description

A person in the guise of a merchant weighs money in a pair of scales and distributes it to the needy and distressed. It is a testimony to his own success in life, as well as to his goodness of heart.

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.

Five of Swords from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Degradation, destruction, revocation, infamy, dishonour, loss, with the variants and analogues of these.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

An attack on the fortune of the Querent.

Card Description

A disdainful man looks after two retreating and dejected figures. Their swords lie upon the ground. He carries two others on his left shoulder, and a third sword is in his right hand, point to earth. He is the master in possession of the field.

Your Hopes and Fears

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.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Great prosperity or great misery.

Card Description

A hand issues from a cloud, grasping as word, the point of which is encircled by a crown.

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 Upright

Activity in undertakings, the path of such activity, swiftness, as that of an express messenger; great haste, great hope, speed towards an end which promises assured felicity; generally, that which is on the move; also the arrows of love.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Domestic disputes for a married person.

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.
