8. The Lovers + Five of Cups + Temperance: Would show a temporary upset followed by healing and renewal through

9. Temperance + the Hermit: Take your time and think things through carefully; it emphasizes patience.
10. Justice + Temperance: Can show legal mediation or conciliation for dispute resolution (especially if preceded by the
Three of Swords or Five of Wands). In personal matters, this combination highlights the need for a balanced mind

12. The Devil + Temperance: May suggest self-control and moderating excessive behavior or harmful habits to
overcome them and heal.

Swords (recovery), Six of Swords (healing), the Hierophant (hospital), the Eight of Swords (con nement).

The Devil Featured Combinations

1. Ace of Wands + the Devil: Watch out: you might feel trapped by what you're starting. New plans could burden
you, making you enslaved to a new business or project, or revealing a new job has a toxic environment.
2. The Devil + Ace of Wands (or Eight of Pentacles): …keeping your plans secret about starting a new venture. A
hidden plan is about to be made, and the card progression suggests it will happen.
3. Three of Wands + the Devil: You might not feel ready to launch your projects, or you're keeping future activities
secret for now. You could feel overwhelmed by what initial success has brought; perhaps working too hard due to
past success, becoming a victim of your own success.
4. Seven of Swords + Five of Swords + the Devil: Points to criminal activities, gang-related issues, and organized
crime. The Moon might also appear for hidden activities.
5. The Magician + the Devil: A con artist; trickery, manipulation.
6. The Emperor + the Devil: Power corrupts… The bullying or oppressive boss, power-hungry leader. Alternatively, a
leadership position might drag you down.
7. The Devil + Temperance: The perfect solution, balancing extremes and moderating behavior for healing and
recovery.
8. Three of Pentacles + the Devil: Workaholic tendencies.
9. Four of Pentacles + the Devil: Hoarding, being stingy.
10. Five of Pentacles + the Devil: Compulsive overspending, shopping addiction, excessive debt.
11. Three of Cups + the Devil: A party animal; a wild night out; perhaps too much of a good thing. Toxic friendships.
12. Six of Cups + the Devil: Unable to let go of the past, possibly an obsession with an old love.
13. Nine of Cups + the Devil: Can mean overindulgence with food and drink. Also, a warning to be careful what you
wish for—it might cause problems later.
14. The Lovers + the Devil: Could be an intoxicating but unhealthy attraction; great sex but not good for a long-term
future; a one-night stand; fetishes; addictions; possibly abuse, or a toxic relationship.
15. Wheel of Fortune + the Devil: Gambling addiction.

*If the Devil is followed by the Star, the Sun, Four of Swords, or Six of Swords, it would show recovery from a di cult
situation—most positive cards following would show release.

The Tower Featured Combinations

1. Seven of Wands + the Tower: Something could shake your core beliefs. Taking a strong stand might back re, so
step back for now and don’t give ultimatums.
2. Eight of Wands + the Tower: Shocking news that causes chaos and upsets everything.
3. The Tower + Eight of Cups: You might feel there's nothing left to save in this situation, and the best course of action
is to walk away and focus your energy elsewhere. Cutting your losses.
4. Three of Swords + the Tower: An explosive argument. A small disagreement escalates out of proportion—handle
with care.
5. Three of Pentacles + the Tower + Five of Pentacles: Can indicate a sudden and unexpected loss connected to your
main work, such as an unexpected layo , a client who doesn't pay, or a sudden cancellation of work you weren’t
expecting, leading to nancial strain. However, the Five is usually temporary, so look for improving conditions
later in the spread.
6. Nine of Pentacles + the Tower: …could show a more signi cant disruption to your nancial situation.
7. The Fool + the Tower: Spontaneous combustion! The Fool is negatively in uenced here, suggesting reckless actions
—walking straight into trouble.
8. The High Priestess + the Tower: Shocking revelations; information being released causes a major disruption.
9. If followed by… The High Priestess + the Tower + the Moon: …the information causing the upset cannot be
trusted. Notice how the Tower is now surrounded by two secrecy cards. The High Priestess cannot progress
positively because it's followed by two negative cards, and the Moon is in uenced by the negative aspect.
Together, they suggest a murky world of deception and possible lies.
10. The Tower + Wheel of Fortune: This is the preferred order for this pairing, as it shows a positive turn after facing
challenges, with good luck about to come your way.
11. The Devil + the Tower: This can be a dangerous or violent combination that is best avoided. It's recommended that
the client removes themselves from this situation if it shows up in future positions. If there's an additional card
before or between these two, it can highlight the area of concern. Sometimes it indicates abuse, but there will
usually be other signs in the spread.
12. The Emperor + the Tower: For those who interpret global events, this can indicate con ict or war; the Devil may
also be present.
13. The World + the Tower: Thankfully, this combination rarely appears. Two of the biggest, most opposing cards in
the deck. The Tower brings a sudden disruption and possibly destruction, a spectacular "fall from grace" from the
peak of success.

The Star Featured Combinations

1. Ace of Wands + the Star: Creative and inspired ideas for a new project. Brings blessings to new ventures and
promises a good future.

improvement is on the way. Progress and growth in business e orts are well-supported.
3. Six of Wands + the Chariot + the Star: A victory parade. This combination brings awards, honors, and public
recognition.
4. Ace of Cups + the Star: Sealed with a gentle kiss! For single people, a new relationship holds a promising future.
For those in relationships, a new beginning for the family brings happiness and blessings.
5. The Star + Four of Cups: Despite promising appearances, things might not meet your expectations and leave you
feeling at or uninspired. Make sure you fully explore the potential in this situation, as you might miss the good it
holds.
6. Knight of Cups + the Star: This o er or proposal is worth looking into, as it promises a bright future where you can
succeed and improve your overall situation. A card before would help identify the nature of the o er.
7. Four of Swords + the Star: A period of rest, recovery, and healing. Temperance would be similar to the Star, and if
the Hierophant is included, it might suggest a hospital stay.
8. Nine of Swords + the Star: The ideal combination we like to see—moving from worries to improving situations;
bringing hope and optimism for the future.
9. Ten of Swords + the Star: The end of a di cult situation allows healing to begin, and life will start to improve;
brighter days are ahead.
10. The Star + Four of Pentacles: Be careful not to hold yourself back or be too cautious when conditions look bright
and encouraging.
11. The Star + the Hermit + the Magician: Putting inspired thoughts into action and mastering your talents (a good
combination for writers and those in communication elds).
12. The Sun + the Star + the World: Hitting the big time—it's your moment to shine! With the Star in the middle, it
would put you in the spotlight. These three together, in any order, mean great success, more than usual. This is
especially relevant for those in entertainment or public life. Fame.

The Moon Featured Combinations

1. Two of Wands + the Moon: Hesitation and inability to see clearly ahead. Lingering doubts about how to move
forward; concern about a work partner and uncertainty about trust.
2. Eight of Wands + the Moon: News arrives quickly, but don't trust it at face value. You don't have all the information
yet, and some things might be hidden.
3. Whereas… The Moon + Eight Wands: …in the opposite order, it may signal that information is coming to clear up
uncertainties.
4. Knight of Cups + the Moon + Four of Cups: Take your time to investigate this o er further because something is
wrong, and it won't meet your expectations or will leave you unhappy. There are hidden factors at play.
5. Nine of Cups + the Moon + Ace of Swords: Waiting for the other shoe to drop. When the Moon is surrounded by
positive cards, it can show triggered anxiety or expecting the worst in a good situation where it's unfounded. As a
progression, the Ace of Swords clears confusion to bring strength and clarity on a new path; overcoming mental
fears.

6. The Moon + Five of Swords: When these two cards appear in this order, it strongly suggests intentional deception
for personal gain; someone around you cannot be trusted.
7. Eight of Swords + the Moon + Nine of Swords: Worries and anxiety might be getting out of control, creating chaos
and despair. Fears can border on paranoia, especially if the cards seem isolated without any clear reason in the
other surrounding cards.
8. Five of Pentacles + the Moon: Financial insecurity; a material loss leads to an uncertain future and unclear
thinking. Ideally, we want a positive card to follow to show release and a solution to the problem.
9. Any King or Queen + the Moon: The court card would describe the person involved, but the Moon following
surrounds them with mystery. It doesn't necessarily mean someone untrustworthy, but suggests they have more
depth and information they might not be sharing—proceed with caution.
10. The Chariot + the Moon: Metaphorically driving through fog—guard against con dence overriding logic. Take time
to plan before rushing ahead, as it suggests heading into uncertainty. Things are not as they seem, and you could
get stuck.
11. The Moon + the Devil: Trippy! In relation to addictions, it can suggest substance abuse, hallucinations, or
delusional and unstable behavior.
12. The Magician + the Devil + the Moon: Can show manipulation and/or gaslighting that could leave you feeling
confused and second-guessing yourself. Do not believe what you are being told, as the truth is being twisted and
hidden.
*Collectively, watch for all the secrecy cards (Five of Swords, Seven of Swords, the High Priestess, the Devil, the
Moon) appearing anywhere in a larger spread, as it reveals underlying secrecy around the client.

The Sun Featured Combinations

1. Eight of Wands + the Sun + Six of Swords: Here, travel is emphasized. The Sun is placed between two travel cards
to reinforce a journey to sunny places.
2. Ten of Wands + the Sun + Four of Pentacles: Once bitten, twice shy. The Sun shows release from an overwhelming
situation, leading to overcaution moving forward, perhaps for good reason.
3. Eight of Cups + the Sun: Making the right choice; leaving a path that has exhausted you will prove to be the correct
decision and should work out better than you expect.
4. Ten of Cups + Ten of Pentacles + the Sun: Abundant blessings in home and family life; emotional and material
happiness.
5. Two of Swords + the Moon + the Sun: As di erent as night and day. A situation that was unclear and full of
indecision becomes illuminated, allowing you to make great progress.
6. Four of Swords + the Sun: Rest and recovery bring back vitality and improve your well-being.
7. Nine of Swords + the Sun + Ten of Swords: Although the Sun o ers a brief break, your worst fears may eventually
come true, leading to a disappointing end. When surrounded like this, the Sun cannot fully show its potential.
However, the Ten of Swords is far enough in the future that you could take action now to try and prevent this
situation.
8. Eight of Pentacles + the Sun: New work that ful lls you and promises a bright future.

9. Justice + Knight of Pentacles + Ace of Swords + the Sun: Can mean winning a legal case completely to your
satisfaction after a long process.
10. The Sun + the Tower: Short-lived happiness or success (similarly, Death or Ten of Swords).
11. Whereas The Tower + the Sun: …can show something that initially seems like a disaster turns out surprisingly well
and for the best.
12. The World + the Sun: Ampli es achievement. Can therefore indicate a high level of success, usually beyond
normal experience. Watch for these two following or sandwiching another card, which could provide more
information.

Judgement Featured Combinations

1. Judgement + Ace of Wands: Bringing new life to an old project; an old idea reborn.
2. In the opposite order… Ace of Wands + Judgement: …although this is new, it will lead to some kind of revival,
perhaps by using past connections. You might have to restart or redo something.
3. Judgement + Knight of Wands: Revival of a house move.
4. Two of Cups + Death + Judgement: A clear sign of a reconciled relationship after a previous ending.
5. Three of Cups + Judgement: Can indicate various types of anniversary celebrations, so check the card before to see
which. May also appear in the opposite order.
6. Five of Cups + Judgement + Three of Swords: Bringing up old hurts can lead to new arguments. This combination
would not bode well for reconciliation either. Even if there's a brief chance, it still results in going separate ways,
usually due to disagreement. Watch for a pattern of alternating cards moving forward, like Temperance, as it can
indicate on-again, o -again relationships.
7. Judgement + Five of Swords: Old habits die hard. Watch out for a repeat of dishonest or unfair dealings; a repeat
performance of a past scenario.
8. Judgement + Nine of Swords: Old fears are reawakened. If appearing in the opposite order, you have the chance to
face and learn from them to nally move forward.
9. Judgement + Five of Pentacles: An old nancial problem reappears and will need to be dealt with.
10. In the opposite order… Five of Pentacles + Judgement: …can show paying o old debts and starting fresh with a
clean slate.
11. Ten of Pentacles + Judgement: Can indicate home renovations and refurbishments.
12. The Hermit + Eight of Pentacles + Judgement: May indicate studying to retake exams.
*Collectively, watch for: Six of Cups, Temperance, and Judgement appearing together. They emphasize past aspects,
renewal, and reconciliation.

The World Featured Combinations

1. Ace of Wands + the World: Guaranteed success from the start. Your new project will be a triumph; overnight
success. For new work or business, it can sometimes suggest foreign connections or international deals.

2. Five of Wands + Knight of Pentacles + the World: Although it will take time, and you might face obstacles and
tough competition, your hard work will eventually bring guaranteed success.
3. Six of Wands + the World: Prestigious awards and honors of the highest level, possibly on the world stage.
4. The World + Ten of Wands: You might feel like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders; the pressures
of success, or success bringing extra responsibilities.
5. The World + Four of Cups: An anti-climactic result once the excitement has faded. There might be a lack of
appreciation for how good things are, but it suggests a feeling of emptiness despite success.
6. Knight of Cups + the World + Eight of Cups: Walking away from what seems to be an amazing o er.
7. The World + Two of Pentacles: Keeping things as they are and maintaining your position; reaching the top can be
hard, but often requires careful planning to stay there.

top), which could lead to moving (possibly even internationally), or might involve a lot of foreign travel.
10. Ten of Swords + Wheel of Fortune + the World: From one extreme to another, and a blessing in disguise. What
seems like a disappointing end opens the door for a wonderful opportunity, and the results are better than you
could have imagined. The Ten of Swords and the World both show completion, from opposite ends of the
spectrum.
11. Strength + Ace of Swords + the World: This triumph is hard-earned through sheer persistence and determination
over challenges and leads to everything turning out perfectly.
12. The World + the Hermit + Temperance: Quiet and understated success. The simple enjoyment and appreciation of
success with a moderate and balanced lifestyle brings harmony.

can represent the full integration of material and spiritual aspects, complete ful llment of your inner and outer world.
Harmonious aspects; "as above so below," heaven on earth, and being at one with the world; perfect alignment.
