 | The first card, the significator, is placed in the center of the cross. This card represents the prime energy manifest in your life. Five of Wands (Strife), when reversed: Trickery. Contradictions. Complexity. Involvement. Caution against indecision. |
 | The second card, placed above the significator, represents Air. It describes your spirit, process of thought, and the influence of reason. Two of Cups (Love), when reversed: Unsatisfactory love. False friendship. Troubled relationship. Divorce. Separation. Crossed desires. Opposition. Disunion. Misunderstanding. |
 | The third card, placed to the right of the significator, represents Fire. It describes your motivations, creative energies, and the influence of passion. King of Cups: Responsibility and creativity. Learned person. Professional. Business person. Lawyer. Religious person. Scientist. A considerate person, kindly, reliable and liberal in manner. Artist. Interest in the arts and sciences. Generosity. |
 | The fourth card, placed below the significator, represents Water. It describes your emotions, meditations, and the influence of love. The Fool, when reversed: Faulty choice or bad decision. Indecision. Apathy. Hesitation. Failure to diligently proceed. |
 | The fifth card, placed to the left of the significator represents Earth. It describes your physical presence, position in life, and the influence of the material world. Ten of Wands (Oppression), when reversed: Difficulties. Intrigues. Duplicity. Treachery. A traitor. Deceiver. Subterfuge. Some losses will occur. |
 | At this point the cross is complete and the triangle is formed. The sixth card, placed on the bottom left of the triangle represents one of two opposing forces. Rejuvenation, when reversed: Delay. Disappointment. Failure to face the facts. Indecision. Divorce. Procrastination. Theft. Alienation of affection. Deep worry. |
 | The seventh card, placed on the bottom right of the triangle represents the force that opposes the bottom left card. These forces may be external, but they are frequently one's own inner archetypes in conflict. Eight of Wands (Swiftness), when reversed: Thorns of dispute. Jealousy. Harassment. Discord. Stagnation. Domestic quarrels. |
 | The eighth card, the reconciler, is placed below the cross in the third vertex of the triangle. This is the force that will resolve the conflict between the bottom left and bottom right cards. By meditating on this force and bringing more of it into your life, you can bring the matter at hand to a swifter conclusion than would naturally occur. King of Pentacles, when reversed: Corruption. Using any means to achieve the desired end. Vice. Avarice. Unfaithfulness. An old and vicious man. Peril. Danger. Thriftlessness. |
 | The ninth and final card, placed in the center bottom of the triangle, represents the final outcome unless you change course. Nine of Cups (Happiness): Success. Material attainment. Advantage. Well-being. Abundance. Good health. Victory. Difficulties surmounted. |
