This card displays your obvious identity, the part of you that everyone knows.
Knight of Wands
He is shewn as if upon a journey, armed with a short wand, and although mailed is not on a warlike errand. He is passing mounds or pyramids. The motion of the horse is a key to the character of its rider, and suggests the precipitate mood, or things connected therewith.
Divinatory Meaning:
Departure, absence, flight, emigration. A dark young man, friendly. Change of residence.
This card shows unconscious driving forces that neither you nor your company is aware of about you. This is the Great Unknown.
8 of Swords
A woman, bound and hoodwinked, with the swords of the card about her. Yet it is rather a card of temporary durance than of irretrievable bondage.
Reversed Meaning:
Disquiet, difficulty, opposition, accident, treachery; what is unforeseen; fatality.
The secrets you keep from others are shown by this card.
5 of Swords
A disdainful man looks after two retreating and dejected figures. Their swords lie upon the ground. He carries two others on his left shoulder, and a third sword is in his right hand, point to earth. He is the master in possession of the field.
Divinatory Meaning:
Degradation, destruction, revocation, infamy, dishonour, loss, with the variants and analogues of these.
This is your Blind Spot. This is what you asked about – what you wished to be made aware of by this reading.
Knight of Cups
Graceful, but not warlike; riding quietly, wearing a winged helmet, referring to those higher graces of the imagination which sometimes characterise this card. He too is a dreamer, but the images of the side of sense haunt him in his vision.
Reversed Meaning:
Trickery, artifice, subtlety, swindling, duplicity, fraud.
