The Past

9 of Cups

A goodly personage has feasted to his heart's content, and abundant refreshment of wine is on the arched counter behind him, seeming to indicate that the future is also assured. The picture offers the material side only, but there are other aspects.

Reversed Meaning:

Truth, loyalty, liberty; but the readings vary and include mistakes, imperfections, etc.

 

 

 

 

The Present

8 of Pentacles

An artist in stone at his work, which he exhibits in the form of trophies.

Work, employment, commission, craftsmanship, skill in craft and business, perhaps in the preparatory stage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Future

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.
