"Something has definitely been done." - TAC

4. The Emperor

Captain of industry, lord of steel.

The seeds of discontent lie in happiness.

4 of Pentacles

Rest after labor; pastoral life. Completion.

4 of Swords

Peace, truce. Compromise. Rest after struggle.

Four of Wands

Material gain - success, rank, power. Judiciousness, covetousness, suspicion - or carefulness and order. A hint of discontent and boredom.

5. The High Priest

Look up his meaning yourself; I'm too busy being happy I'm DONE!

5 of Cups

Thrown from luxury into emotional emptiness.

Strife, rashness, cruelty, violence, lust...

7. The Chariot

Mind rides body; body drives mind. Light and wisdom assist.

Debauchery, decay. Lost in impossible dreams.

7 of Swords

Futility.

7 of Wands

Promises of success unfulfilled.

8. Fortitude

No column stands alone.

8 of Cups

Indolence, stagnation, decline. The party's over and the headache sets in.

8 of Pentacles

Too much force applied too suddenly. A very rapid rush, but quickly passed and expended.

Swiftness, rapidity, courage, boldness. Theft and robbery.

YOU GOT THE POWER-UP.

8 of Swords

Too much force.

8 of Wands

Investment. Seeds waiting to grow. Putting something away for a rainy day; gambling with the odds thoroughly calculated.

99 of Pentacles

One of the things any artist doing a Tarot deck in this day and age must ask herself is "How can I update this 15th-century creation to reflect modern times?". This is my humble contribution for a much louder age: each suit has a 99th card, without the intervening 11-98.

The 99 of Pentacles - or Coins - is the Lord of Every Extend. It is in the house of Virgo. In divination, when upright, its meaning is <i>A FREE MAN!</i>. Inverted, it portends the loss of all your power-ups.

9. The Hermit

Retreating, searching. Time grows apart.

9 of Cups

Complete happiness, almost perfection thereof. Vanity, conceit. Goodness and generosity with a touch of foolishness.

9 of Pentacles

Immense, unstoppable force. Accurate delivery thereof. Success - but with strife. Victory - after fear.

9 of Swords

Despair, cruelty, lying, subtle dishonesty. Yet another unpleasant card from the high end of the Swords.
