The Meanings of these Tarot Cards

This Covers You

This card gives the influence which is affecting the person or matter of inquiry generally, the atmosphere of it in which the other currents work.

Temperance from the Ancient Tarot of Lombardy Deck

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Temperance. The winged figure of a female--who, in opposition to all doctrine concerning the hierarchy of angels, is usually allocated to this order of ministering spirits--is pouring liquid from one pitcher to another. In his last work on the Tarot, Dr. Papus abandons the traditional form and depicts a woman wearing an Egyptian head-dress. The first thing which seems clear on the surface is that the entire symbol has no especial connexion with Temperance, and the fact that this designation has always obtained for the card offers a very obvious instance of a meaning behind meaning, which is the title in chief to consideration in respect of the Tarot as a whole.

This Crosses You

It shows the nature of the obstacles in the matter. If it is a favourable card, the opposing forces will not be serious, or it may indicate that something good in itself will not be productive of good in the particular connexion.

Two of Coins from the Ancient Tarot of Lombardy Deck

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Troubles are more imaginary than real.

This Crowns You

It represents (a) the Querent's aim or ideal in the matter; (b) the best that can be achieved under the circumstances, but that which has not yet been made actual.

The Star from the Ancient Tarot of Lombardy Deck

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings (When Upright)

The Star, Dog-Star, or Sirius, also called fantastically the Star of the Magi. Grouped about it are seven minor luminaries, and beneath it is a naked female figure, with her left knee upon the earth and her right foot upon the water. She is in the act of pouring fluids from two vessels. A bird is perched on a tree near her; for this a butterfly on a rose has been substituted in some later cards. So also the Star has been called that of Hope. This is one of the cards which Court de Gebelin describes as wholly Egyptian-that is to say, in his own reverie.

This is Beneath You

It shows the foundation or basis of the matter, that which has already passed into actuality and which the Significator has made his own.

King of Clubs from the Ancient Tarot of Lombardy Deck

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Generally favourable may signify a good marriage.

This is Behind You

It gives the influence that is just passed, or is now passing away.

Eight of Clubs from the Ancient Tarot of Lombardy Deck

This is Before You

Your Self

Pleasant memories.

Your Hopes and Fears

The Chariot from the Ancient Tarot of Lombardy Deck

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

The Chariot. This is represented in some extant codices as being drawn by two sphinxes, and the device is in consonance with the symbolism, but it must not be supposed that such was its original form; the variation was invented to support a particular historical hypothesis. In the eighteenth century white horses were yoked to the car. As regards its usual name, the lesser stands for the greater; it is really the King in his triumph, typifying, however, the victory which creates kingship as its natural consequence and not the vested royalty of the fourth card. M. Court de Gebelin said that it was Osiris Triumphing, the conquering sun in spring-time having vanquished the obstacles of winter. We know now that Osiris rising from the dead is not represented by such obvious symbolism. Other animals than horses have also been used to draw the currus triumphalis, as, for example, a lion and a leopard.

The Final Result

The culmination which is brought about by the influences shewn by the other cards that have been turned up in the divination.

Nine of Coins from the Ancient Tarot of Lombardy Deck

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings (When Upright)

Prompt fulfillment of what is presaged by neighbouring cards. Reversed:Vain hopes.
