This deck is an excellent choice for exploring questions of passion, mastery, and the inner workings of human reason. If you would like your own copy of the Renaissance Tarot, you can buy it now! |
 | The card at the top left represents how you see yourself. Seven of Cups (Temptation), when reversed: Determination and resolve. Independent resolution to move ahead with eyes open. |
 | The card at the top right represents how you see your partner. Wheel of Fortune: The intrusion of chance into affairs. Unlikely coincidence. "What goes up, must come down." The intercession of good fortune in life. A sudden opportunity that must be exploited deftly and promptly; according to Machiavelli, in The Prince, Fortune is "bald behind", that is, once she runs past, it will be too late to grab her, and so she must be seized as she approaches, "by the forelock". |
 | The card in the center left represents how you feel about your partner. Eight of Staves (Swiftness): An explosion of movement and activity. A dramatic event. An unusual manifestation. |
 | The card in the center right represents what stands between you and your partner. The Magician: Mastery of words and of matter. Eloquence, including eloquent silence and Hermetic wisdom. Mediator, messenger, and communicator. The Magician may be a sage or just a quick talker. He is a master-manipulator of the material world, but the miracles he effects may be true physical and metaphysical transformation of mere illusion and technical tricks. With Hermes, one never knows; he is the god of orators and liars, merchants and thieves, trickery and arcane science. |
 | The card in the lower left represents how your partner sees you. Page of Cups, when reversed: Emotional excess. Distraction. Seduction. |
 | The card in the lower right represents what your partner feels about you. The Fool, when reversed: A false step. Impetuous beginning. Rash and irrational behavior. Childishness. Bacchic intoxication, oblivion and violence. |
 | The card in the center represents the present status or challenge of the relationship. Four of Coins (Power), when reversed: Equanimity. Suspension of conflict. Balance of power. |
