Can anyone tell me what meanings you can draw from the artwork itself? I don't like the interpretations of this deck that I have seen and I've resorted to just looking at the artwork for my own interpretations or using the interpretations that Pollack used for the Haindl in her book. I generaly only use the Haindl interpretations for the minors as some of them, to me, aren't very detailed. Some things I've realized are about the court cards espescialy, although my interpretations are pretty basic.
Knight of Cups
Striving for something and with lots of confidence. Always looks to me like a young boy/man, no older than 25. He has wings and he's leaping into the air or flying and he's reaching for a cup. I've always seen the cup as like a trophy or some sort of goal. Sometimes I notice that he has actualy already reached his goal but other times this thought never crosses my mind and it makes me think I am still in the process of attaining my goals or the person I am doing a reading for. Could also mean diving into something without thinking.
Queen of Cups
The image of her figure is reflected in the water. Things live up to your expectations. People are very transparent. Or I suppose you could reverse it and say that they are reflected in the watery pool but the image in the pool is distorted like what you think they are they really aren't etc...
Prince of Cups
I see nothing in this image. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me find some meaning in it.
Princess of Cups
Is ALWAYS a very beautiful young woman. Not only beautiful but someone every guy wants the pleasure of meeting as she is not only beautiful but intelligent and graceful. Sort of like someone that is above the rest.
Knight of Disks
A direct opposite of the Knight of Cups. The horse's head is lowered and the knight is on the horse looking very badass but appears to be looking into a glow of some kind. I see this glow as human potential and possibilities. It's like you can see something but you feel distant or that it's unatainable. Everything about him appears large and threatning, however, as if if he wanted or tried to reach the glow behind the hill he would be able to. Perhaps though that he has all the potential, but his horse is lazy? I mean he feels he doesn't have the tools and things that allow him to do things. For example, being a great student but not having the money to go to university or something similar in that respect. Also interesting to note that this knight is said in my book to be a farmer of some kind and I can see that too since he appears to be in the country and he is posed in tall grass. You can interpret this as being away from your dreams and desires.
Queen of Disks
Looking towards the future, or the past, or examining the present. Certainly relating to time. Reflecting.
Princess of Disks
I dont see much in this image either. Could be someone wealthy, fur coat? Definately looks pregnant.
Prince of Disks
Someone dull and uninteresting. His bull looks tired and is moving slowly. It even looks like the chariot couldn't move at all even if it wanted to! The wheels are practicaly completely sideways. Also notice he's naked. He's not wearing anything very colourful that's for sure. Another indication of his uninteresting personality perhaps. Could represent someone that isn't very attractive maybe or has low self esteem.
Prince of Swords
"Slays as fast as he creates". I get this card a lot. lol. I'm impatient and I get frustrated easily. He's got these people tied to him, driving his chariot, but they're not co-operating. Hard to see, but you'll notice that they are all resting. Except maybe the one on the right who is scared out of his mind! Looks like he's doing duck and cover! The other two are resting their heads on their hands with their elbows on the ground. These slaves suck! I need new ones! I'm going to set them free! And you can see he's about cut the strings or ropes or whatever.
Knight of Swords
Someone with a childlike personality. Loves to play. Charismatic. What else could you say about him?
Princess of Swords
Not sure about this one... She appears to be turned away from the reader. As if ignoring him? What do you think?
Queen of Swords
Powerful woman perhaps? Not sure about this one either. Maybe someone that will stab ya in the back. Looks like someone already fell victim to her. I certainly wouldn't mess with her!
Prince of Wands
His arms are wide open and there's fire eminating from behind his back. Very bold individual. Kind of like me when I go up to the girls at school and try to get to know them. Rather than being shy and nervous I freak them out sometimes because I don't have good social skills and I'm unsure of the proper way to go about things. I just start talking to people and sometimes they get "burned" by my gutsy ways and they aren't friendly. Sometimes it works out though which is great because I'm only taking two classes right now so I don't know many people.
Princess of Wands
No idea. Could use some help
Queen of Wands
Not sure. Maybe a woman who is very wise. Someone that commands respect but won't stab you in the back like the queen of swords.
Knight of Wands
Taking a big risk. Overwhelming stress and anxiety is going to make this guy get bucked off his horse. Came up for someone with depression that I met actualy.
