On the card

A crowned figure sits with a sword upright in one hand, the other extended, clouds below and a bird above.

Upright

Discernment
Honesty
Experience

Traditionally clear sight bought with experience — the card of the person who will tell you the truth and does not enjoy it.

Reversed

Coldness
Bitterness
Guarded

Reversed, discernment hardens: honesty that has become a defence, or a guard raised so long ago its reason is forgotten.

About this deck

The artwork is the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, drawn by Pamela Colman Smith to Arthur Edward Waite's direction and first published in 1909. It has passed into the public domain, which is why it can be shown here in full — but it is her work, and the reason this deck became the one nearly every other deck answers to.
