“The first five cards, The Magician, The High Priestess, The Empress, The Emperor, and The Hierophant show the various attributes of a person in ordinary life: infinite potential (and possessing all the skills they need), a sense of mystery - something more out there - a connection with the natural order of things, and an awareness that society runs on authority from the state and faith in high ideals to function normally.

“The next five cards, The Lovers, The Chariot, Strength, The Hermit, and The Wheel of Fortune, show how the heroic fool must navigate various life lessons: love, ambition, courage, reflection and the mysteries of fate.
