The Magician

Explanation

A magician is a master of illusions. He can create and destroy illusions.

Place in the cycle

It is the second card in the entire deck, and signifies the start from dream to practical idea.

Meaning

Positive

It's time to talk about your ideas with others and to define them a bit more clearly.

Neutral

It's time to talk about your ideas with others and to define them a bit more clearly.

Negative

Be careful that you won't be sprouting pie-in-the-sky ideas to others without following through with them.

The Fool

Explanation

Only a fool would stand so close to the cliff's edge.
But the fool is on a high, thinks he can handle anything the world will throw at him. Here in lies both his strength and his weakness. One false step and the tumble down the rock face could be short or long. The fool doesn't even know how long, because he looks to the sky.

Place in the cycle

The fool is the first card in the deck, the new born heading out into the world, facing the different stages of development ahead. One can undergo many cycles during his or her life, the last card in the major arcana ('The World') always followed by The Fool for some new aspect of life to be discovered and experienced.

Meaning

Positive

Don't look at practicability or feasibility for a while. Open up to your desires and dreams, without immediately trying to figure out how to realize them.
Dream all you want and figure out which dreams to realize later.

Neutral

You're probably saturated by the life you now have around you.
It's time for something new, to let the child inside you boss the adult in you around a bit as it discovers these new things to explore.

Negative

Perhaps you're discouraged by your dreams, because your subconscious is telling you you're not happy with current circumstances, while your higher intellect is still OK with this situation.

The Lovers

Explanation

Some attribute love and romance to the card of The Lovers. Others see it as finding and living with both female and male aspects of yourself.

Place in the cycle

This card carries the number 6. It is the number of protection, of stability and security. It comes after the assignment number 5, it is the reward after hard work.
The Magician announced four wisdoms. In the cards that followed, they came into view one by one. The traveler of Tarot has accumulated the baggage with which to travel. This card signifies a choice between staying with the old and familiar, or (the way of Tarot:) going to new experiences and lessons.

Meaning

Positive

Open yourself to growth towards independence.

Neutral

When the card of The Lovers is drawn, then you're ready to realize that you've gained security in yourself. You've developed a basic self confidence that enables you to look objectively to your surroundings. But you're ready to grow beyond your current realm of comfort. Your need for self reliance is increasing. This card is a process card, which means that it's effect might last for months.

Negative

Don't linger, don't get stuck in your own habits. Spring into action.

Death

Explanation

This is about psychological death (or: transformation), not physical death as we have to face in life.

Place in the cycle

Death carries the number 13, which is considered the unlucky number not now but throughout history as well. It's composed number is 4, the number of structure and order.

Meaning

Positive

Get rid of the old (habits) and get ready to welcome in the new. Don't look back too often, which may make you second guess your decisision.

Neutral

You're in a period of your life where you've decided to radically clean up your act. Actually you've made the decision at The Hanged Man, the previous card in the deck, and now at Death you're ready to fill in the blanks of that change. The cleaning up concerns things that you know have to change. You get rid of things that no longer matter and will become blockages when you continue with them. But the new is not here yet, so while you cut old habits out of your life you may end up waiting for the input of the new. This may cause feelings of uncertainty and vulnerability.
Death is a card that does not fall frequently, it is a bit of a special card. When it does fall, you should spend time to understand it's meaning for you then and there. First of all to take away the negative appearance of the card, second because the card signifies an important time in the life of the asker.

The card may indicate relational problems. Getting rid of the old may mean abandoning someone you once loved.

There is the chance that you may want to kick out the old (habits) too soon, just to get clarity. Or you may end up in limbo, having eliminated the old but also not welcoming of whatever new is heading your way.

Negative

Don't make any (drastic) changes yet, give things time instead.

Justice

Explanation

Justice is an important concept in nearly every culture and religion. It is part of the four midieval values, the other three are: strength, temperance and carefulness. Only carefulness is missing from the major arcana, nobody really knows why.

Place in the cycle

This card carries the number 11. In the Rider-Waite deck, Strength and Justice have swapped places because Waite saw links with the astrological signs Leo and Libra.
Consisting of two 1's, it has both the characteristics of 1 and 2. A number full of opposites therefore. The number 11 is the first assignment number in the new cycle.

Meaning

Positive

Waiting for another can be very frustrating. See what you can do on your own. Make your own analysis, subject yourself to your own objective judgement. Then the judgement of the other(s) won't a surprise to you anymore.

Neutral

When the Justice card is drawn, you will feel a major change heading your way, which brings some apprehension or excitement on your part along with it. An outside entity could have to pass judgement on you, which will leave you feeling somewhat powerless.

Negative

Don't wait for the judgement of others. You'll be able to continue on your own.

Reading : Human

The 'Human' reading is designed for a single person, and tell the questioner something about what is important for him/her at the moment the cards are drawn. This reading can often also indicate a good course through difficult terrain.

This reading is valid for about 1 month, and should probably not be drawn more than once a month.
