 | The card in the middle represents the mental vision: the object personified and seen through a humanized perspective. Six of Swords (Science), when reversed: A bluff. Deceptive show of force. A desperate attempt to impress. |
 | The card second from the left represents the emotional vision: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. Knight of Staves: A traveler. A journey. The call of far away places. The arrival or return of a pilgrim or wanderer. A person of far-ranging interests and restless curiosity who is desirous of change and transformation. Inventive and artistic, but sometimes absent-minded person. Having one's "head in the clouds." |
 | 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.

A person who prefers action to reflection - above all, dramatic, decisive action. |
