 | The card on the far right represents the object being viewed, be it an idea, relationship, or the self. The Emperor, when reversed: Tyranny. Pomposity. Jove-like self-indulgence. |
 | The card second from the right represents the physical vision: how the object is seen at a base or mechanical level. Eight of Cups (Indolence), when reversed: Awareness. Perseverance. Optimism. |
 | The card in the middle represents the mental vision: the object personified and seen through a humanized perspective. Knight of Coins, when reversed: Small-mindedness. Insistence on the concrete. Lack of conviction in important matters. Lack of frankness in matters of the heart. |
 | The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. The Moon: Mystery. Changeability. Unseen and unknown forces of the night, and unpredictable transformations from the mutable moon. Young womanhood. Feminine beauty. Ordeal and honor of childbearing. |
 | 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. Ace of Staves, when reversed: A beginning that is faulty from lack of conviction or from an excess of complacency. |
