So the five-second run-down on each one, start to finish - the Fool is beginnings and potential, the Magician is skill and power, the High Priestess is intuition and mysteries, the Empress is beauty and fertility, the Emperor is authority, the Heirophant is religion and tradition, the Lovers are union and relationships, the Chariot is willpower and victory, Strength is... well, strength, but also patience and compassion, the Hermit is introspection, the Wheel of Fortune is fate and good luck, Justice is truth and law, the Hanged Man is stasis or sacrifice, Death is change, Temperance is balance, the Devil is hedonism and addiction, the Tower is destruction, the Star is hope, the Moon is illusion and uncertainty, the Sun is success and positivity, Judgement is.. judgement in the spiritual sense, really, and the World is completion.
