 | The card on the far right represents the object being viewed, be it an idea, relationship, or the self. Eight of Swords (Interference): Emotional disaster. Loss of a beloved person or a valued situation. A sadness that creates a new strength and resolve. |
 | The card second from the right represents the physical vision: how the object is seen at a base or mechanical level. Four of Cups (Luxury), when reversed: New faith. New hope. A return to trust. |
 | The card in the middle represents the mental vision: the object personified and seen through a humanized perspective. Three of Coins (Works): Beauty. Balance. Harmony. Well-being. |
 | The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. Three of Swords (Sorrow), when reversed: Balance of forces in conflict. Rest from struggle. |
 | 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. Five of Staves (Strife): A project or adventure abandoned or cut short because of the departure or disappearance of a necessary colleague, partner, friend or lieutenant. |
