 | The card in the center represents the attitude you assume. Queen of Swords, when reversed: Consuming fire; the flames of the martyrdom of Joan of Arc, Phaedra's misguided passion, Medea's jealousy, Lady Macbeth's ambition. Fire, if left to burn unchecked, can consume the soul. |
 | The card to the right represents the thoughts and feelings that underly your attitudes. Four of Swords (Truce): Retreat from the battlefield of life. A rest from the conflicts with colleagues or competitors. Calm in the storm. Self-imposed exile. |
 | The card at the top represents how your attitude is evolving and will evolve in the future. Page of Coins, when reversed: An unrealistic deluded state of mind. Rationalizations. Pseudoscience. |
 | The card to the left represents how others perceive your attitude. Two of Cups (Love), when reversed: Separation. Dissolution. Unhappy love. |
 | The card at the bottom represents what you cannot confront or are hiding from yourself. Wheel of Fortune, when reversed: Inauspicious atmosphere. Strange omens. Dark auguries. |
