 | The card on the far right represents the object being viewed, be it an idea, relationship, or the self. King of Staves: A renaissance man, practical and imaginative, active and contemplative, forceful and chivalrous. Appreciation of the lessons and pleasures of life. Worldliness in the best sense. An intellectual, an artist or an inventor. |
 | The card second from the right represents the physical vision: how the object is seen at a base or mechanical level. Ten of Staves (Oppression), when reversed: Avoidance of pain and absence of pleasure. Obscurity and domesticity. |
 | The card in the middle represents the mental vision: the object personified and seen through a humanized perspective. Ten of Swords (Ruin), when reversed: Fame or glory blooming forth from misfortune. Cruel reality ennobled by art. |
 | The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. The Devil: Wickedness and danger. Darkness and licentiousness. Slavery to the senses. Imprisonment by baser instincts. Temptation. Selfishness. |
 | The card on the far left represents the fourfold or mystical vision: still viewing through the previous three, we now add a spiritual element, revealing unseen aspects of the object. Six of Coins (Success): Generosity. Philanthropy. Charity. A wise and compassionate decision. |
