This card displays your obvious identity, the part of you that everyone knows.
5 of Cups
The problem with a hand of glory is that wax melts and glory fades.
This card shows unconscious driving forces that neither you nor your company is aware of about you. This is the Great Unknown.
Knight of Wands
Read 'The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha', preferably the edition with illustrations by Gustav Dore. At the very least see the play 'Man of La Mancha'.
Mock what lunatics you may, but at some point you've been the fool too, and fools, whatever else they are, are also the best dreamers.
The secrets you keep from others are shown by this card.
The Empress
Regime change in action, it happens more in the sewers than the senates. One goes out, another comes in.
This is your Blind Spot. This is what you asked about – what you wished to be made aware of by this reading.
10 of Pentacles
The tree of life doesn't play out flawlessly like it does in the diagrams. It's actually far more distorted than that. Don't mistake the map for the territory and follow books blindly.
