Spiritual rule more lasting than the domination of the Emperor, doctrine and conscience.
The two upright pillars are Law and Liberty
6 THE LOVERS
Represent choice (between vice and virtue)
7 THE CHARIOT
He is not guiding the horses; he has mastered his animal-passions. This card indicates the end of
the first stage of development
8 THE BALANCE
Represents Divine Justice; not blindfolded, and strictly impartial, she warns us that we are all
being watched by Eternal Eyes
9 THE HERMIT
Has a tiny flame in his lantern, which is mind’s illumination. He signifies caution
10 THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE
Osiris, preserver of life, presides over the wheel to remind us that those raised high in the
world may expect a reverse
11 THE ENCHANTRESS
Wears a hat like the juggler’s, and is therefore exerting spiritual and moral force over the
baser passions of others, shown in the fierce lion
12 THE HANGED MAN
This rather surprising equanimity, and the coins falling out of his pocket, combine to
symbolise voluntary sacrifice
13 THE REAPER
The well-known gruesome symbol of death, can have a more subtle meaning, that of
the death of the old self, and a new life to come
14 THE ANGEL OF TIME
Pours inspiration from above; or, in another respect, represents merely the influence exerted by
suggestion
15 THE BLACK MAGICIAN
The ominous figure is that of Pan, God of Nature. He represents misuse of our potentialities
, and blind folly
16 THE LIGHTNING-STRUCK TOWER
Shows the rude shattering of illusions, and possibly material loss
17 THE STAR OF HOPE
The promise of better things to come
18 THE MOON
Her light distorts, bringing despair, bad dreams and difficulties
19 THE SUN
Is kind, bringing happiness, virtue and triumph
20 THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT
Warns us of our responsibilities and obligations
21 THE WORLD
Represents a reward, which may be material gain or simply self-mastery
T THE FOOL
is the unnumbered card; his bundle is the total sum of past experiences; he symbolises the end
of one cycle of life and the beginning of another
