Card One
Four of Cups from the Marseilles Pattern Tarot Deck
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Contrarieties.
Card Two
Two of Cups from the Marseilles Pattern Tarot Deck
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Favourable in things of pleasure and business, as well as love; also wealth and honour.
Card Three
The Lovers from the Marseilles Pattern Tarot Deck
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The Lovers or Marriage. This symbol has undergone many variations, as might be expected from its subject. In the eighteenth century form, by which it first became known to the world of archaeological research, it is really a card of married life, shewing father and mother, with their child placed between them; and the pagan Cupid above, in the act of flying his shaft, is, of course, a misapplied emblem. The Cupid is of love beginning rather than of love in its fulness, guarding the fruit thereof. The card is said to have been entitled Simulacyum fidei, the symbol of conjugal faith, for which the rainbow as a sign of the covenant would have been a more appropriate concomitant. The figures are also held to have signified Truth, Honour and Love, but I suspect that this was, so to speak, the gloss of a commentator moralizing. It has these, but it has other and higher aspects.
Card Four
Five of Clubs from the Marseilles Pattern Tarot Deck
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Success in financial speculation.
Card Five
Queen of Coins from the Marseilles Pattern Tarot Deck
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Dark woman; presents from a rich relative; rich and happy marriage for a young man.
Card Six
Justice from the Marseilles Pattern Tarot Deck
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Fortitude. This is one of the cardinal virtues, of which I shall speak later. The female figure is usually represented as closing the mouth of a lion. In the earlier form which is printed by Court de Gebelin, she is obviously opening it. The first alternative is better symbolically, but either is an instance of strength in its conventional understanding, and conveys the idea of mastery. It has been said that the figure represents organic force, moral force and the principle of all force.
Card Seven
King of Swords from the Marseilles Pattern Tarot Deck
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
A lawyer, senator, doctor.
Card Eight

A dark youth; a young officer or soldier; a child.

Card Fourteen
Knight of Swords from the Marseilles Pattern Tarot Deck
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
A soldier, man of arms, satellite, stipendiary; heroic action predicted for soldier.
Card Fifteen
The Star from the Marseilles Pattern Tarot Deck
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 Sixteen

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
An indiscreet person will pry into the Querent's secrets.

Card Seventeen
The Magician from the Marseilles Pattern Tarot Deck
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 Eighteen
Seven of Cups from the Marseilles Pattern Tarot Deck
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Fair child; idea, design, resolve, movement.
Card Nineteen
The Pope from the Marseilles Pattern Tarot Deck
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 Twenty
Seven of Coins from the Marseilles Pattern Tarot Deck
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Improved position for a lady's future husband.
