This card displays your obvious identity, the part of you that everyone knows.
2 of Pentacles
A young man, in the act of dancing, has a pentacle in either hand, and they are joined by that endless cord which is like the number eight reversed.
Divinatory Meaning:
On the one hand it is represented as a card of gaiety, recreation and its connexions, which is the subject of the design; but it is read also as news and messages in writing, as obstacles, agitation, trouble, embroilment.
This card shows unconscious driving forces that neither you nor your company is aware of about you. This is the Great Unknown.
2 of Cups
A youth and maiden are pledging one another, and above their cups rises the Caduceus of Hermes, between the great wings of which there appears a lion's head. It is a variant of a sign which is found in a few old examples of this card. Some curious emblematical meanings are attached to it, but they do not concern us in this place.
Divinatory Meaning:
Love, passion, friendship, affinity, union, concord, sympathy, the interrelation of the sexes, and – as a suggestion apart from all offices of divination – that desire which is not in Nature, but by which Nature is sanctified.
The secrets you keep from others are shown by this card.
Page of Swords
A lithe, active figure holds a sword upright in both hands, while in the act of swift walking. He is passing over rugged land, and about his way the clouds are collocated wildly. He is alert and lithe, looking this way and that, as if an expected enemy might appear at any moment.
Reversed Meaning:
What is unforeseen, unprepared state; sickness is also intimated.
This is your Blind Spot. This is what you asked about – what you wished to be made aware of by this reading.
5 of Pentacles
Two mendicants in a snow-storm pass a lighted casement.
Reversed Meaning:
Disorder, chaos, ruin, discord, profligacy.
