Minor Arcana of Tarot Rider Cups
We begin to describe the Minor Arcana, and this long journey begins that will take us through an exciting world by the cups, since like a Spanish deck, they are also made up of these, along with the clubs, golds and swords.
Ace of cups
The first is the Ace of cups, with the number one. Its enormous power is synonymous with harmony, and as such, with happiness . In addition, its appearance is usually symbolized by the arrival of a great love that begins, or even by a fertility process.
Ace of cups inverted
As with the Elders, the inverted Minor Arcana also pervert their symbology, and what was once positive and full is now the opposite.
In this case, what used to be harmony is now pure instability . That is to say, the discord that could be presented by a false love that falls here strongly on the person.
2 glasses
Let's see now what tribulations we find when 2 cups appear. In this case, we find an excellent two-way letter, which we observe below.
On the one hand, it is an excellent letter for business . So, if you consider any type of investment or project, the appearance of 2 cups is a good sign for the success of how much you are undertaking.
It is also an excellent love letter . It is synonymous with harmony, friendship and a truly intimate relationship with a close person, including a soulmate.
2 cups inverted
Let's now look at the most negative face of this letter. If it appears in its inverted form, we are seeing that the love that was once fraternal and full is now false and reprehensible .
In addition, we can also say that it is a letter that offers opposition to everything that is logical, since it is symbolizing a misunderstanding, a pure nonsense .
3 cups
We continue investigating the mysteries of the Minor Arcana of the Tarot Rider and now focus on the 3 of cups, an excellent card that is synonymous with abundance . Do you consider yourself a hospitable human being, successful in life and able to enjoy the pleasure and good things of the world? If this is your case, congratulations, because you are under the auspices of this letter.
3 cups inverted
However, when the card falls from the inverted side, everything becomes darker and more negative . Now, if symbology is pure excess, both in drinking and eating and in sensuality. That is, an unbridled passion for the pleasures of life without any control, even reaching sex without love almost as a perversion or addiction.
4 cups
We are not in this case before an especially positive letter, although if you are a lover of luxury, always well understood and without excesses, you could be under the mantle of 4 glasses.
On the other hand, it is also synonymous with an abandonment to desire, which could become excessive if left unchecked. In addition, it is a symbol of a new ambition that has appeared in your life.
4 cups inverted
On the other hand, if the letter appears inverted, we are facing a case of luxury, but that does not bring happiness, in fact, it can even take it away. This implies a great discontent with material success, which is not accompanied by social, spiritual or personal.
However, this letter does inform you that the time has come to make a decisive change in life that will lead us to begin a new stage.
5 cups
Let's see the following of the Minor Arcana of our list, in reference to the 5 cups. In this case we find a letter that symbolizes a new happiness, that is to say the appearance of something new that fills us with joy.
In addition, it is also possible that it leads us to happiness for something that returns, such as the return of an old friend, or even an old love that returns to our life and fills it with joy.
5 cups inverted
On the other hand, if it appears inverted, it offers us the least kind face of reality, such as disappointment . Perhaps an unexpected disaster, an inevitable misfortune, a love that is lost, a friend who leaves or the loss of something very dear.
6 cups
In this case, the Minor Arcanum that concerns us brings us pleasure through a happiness that comes to us because of something that happened in the past. That is, nostalgia influences us to succeed in the past because we have planted a very lush garden.
6 cups inverted
On the other hand, we go to the other extreme, the most negative, to observe that it can also be a symbol of a person who lives anchored in his unfortunate past, and that makes him insecure.
However, although it could also be translated as we are in possession of a useless friendship, or even an unvaluable partner. It is also a symbol of a possible inheritance.
7 cups
We will continue with our journey through the world of the Minor Arcana. Following the logical sequential line of time, we focus on 7 cups. In this case we find a letter that introduces us to a world of new will . An intelligent decision or a short trip awaits us.
7 cups inverted
When this letter of the Minor Arcana is reversed, everything good that it represents turns upside down. In this case he informs us of the possible existence of corruption or exaggeratedly foolish expectations.
It is also a synonym for addiction, mainly to drugs. But not only that, it is a symbol of illusory dreams, intoxication of any kind or disappointment by someone or something that did not happen as expected.
8 cups
Let's focus our attention now on the next of the Minor Arcana of the Tarot Rider. In this case, the 8 of cups, of appearing in a roll, is showing us that we are facing an event or cheerful person, who is surrounded by happiness.
If the letter comes out, it is also a symbol of a new love, or even that a new interest in material things has been born, but not for that reason reaching an excessively materialistic, sickly or negative level.
8 cups inverted
On the other hand, when falling in an inverted way, all its benevolence is perverted. In this case, the profile becomes indolent and unstable . In fact, the material event has been abandoned, but it might be in search of something higher, or perhaps not.
In addition, it can be synonymous with an interest in something that has vanished or even wandering, a walk without a fixed course and without set goals.
9 cups
Let's now look at the next Minor Arcana, the 9 of cups. Here we are facing a powerful letter that is informing us that we are facing happiness . That is, it is a clear example of success, a material well-being that has been definitively completed. So, if the target person is in search of something or yearns for it, he is on the right track and has achieved it or is on the verge of achieving it.
9 cups inverted
On the other hand, if this inverted Tarot Rider card appears, everything that used to be happiness becomes imperfection in this case. It is showing us to be in front of a profile of a little judicious person, who suffers from intemperance and with a deceptive touch. That is, he has mistaken his goal and achieved something he did not want, clearly deviating from the goal.
10 cups
Let's see now what is the 10 cups, another of the Minor Arcana of the 78 cards that make up the Tarot Rider.
Here we talk about satiety, that is, that a correct point has been reached where everything is as it should . We have to be content with what we have obtained, which is almost perfect, whether it be a love or an objective achieved.
In addition, we cannot forget that it is also a synonym for love, and a wonderful letter that tells us that we finally reach peace, is all in a peaceful order.
10 cups inverted
On the other hand, when it appears inverted, everything becomes dark and undecided . Goodness has disappeared, it has dissipated, friendship has been lost because of a betrayal. That is, a lot of things and occasions have been wasted.
11 cups
Also known as the princess or the Jack of Cups, it is a reflection above all of young people, especially those who are studious and calm, with a touch of constant sweetness in their eyes, and also those who have a point of dreamers, but not like to be all day in the clouds.
Apart from this already mentioned, it also means the arrival of news, whether good or not, or of a future proposition.
11 cups inverted
On the other hand, when this letter of the Minor Arcana appears inverted, its meaning is perverted, transforming itself into pure sexual debauchery which, while not dangerous or especially harmful, does not serve as help either. Moreover, it also symbolizes the arrival of unflattering news, as well as a person whose profile is that of an egocentric or a flatterer in excess.
12 cups
The 12 of glasses is the gentleman or prince. In this case he is a young person, artist, funny and very poetic . It can also symbolize the most indolent dreamers, who die for sensual pleasures without reaching excess. In addition, it could be a messenger, an omen of news to come or even an invitation.
12 cups inverted
However, as usual, once this prince appears inverted, his meaning is perverted, becoming a deceitful person possessed by laziness . It is a ruthless and manifestly dissolute being.
13 cups
In this case we talk about the queen of cups, which symbolizes a dreamy and calm person . We are facing a lover of poetry, who is fortunate to have a wonderful and fertile imagination. He is kind and condescending, but he does not usually demonstrate an excessive disposition when taking the trouble to help other people.
13 cups inverted
However, and almost always referred to women, although not always, when the inverted card appears, it becomes pure vice. It represents dishonest people, totally unworthy of any trust .
14 cups
We finally know the last card of the glasses of the Waite tarot, Rider tarot or Rider Waite tarot, and in this case it is the king or the knight.
Here we find one of the Minor Arcana that represents a person knowledgeable about laws and commerce. However, not only legality is among their interests. Demonstrates extensive knowledge of science, philosophy, religion and art .
In addition, this is an ideal friend, always faithful, with a creative, idealistic and liberal touch. He is a kind person and with great responsibility, so he will not have any problem when helping out a loved one.
14 cups inverted
As usual, the king also perverts with the investment. Here, we find a superficial profile, which does not show any depth in anything, since it does not have a firm character, although it is enthusiastic. That is why he is a ruthless liar, unworthy of trust and quite vicious.
Minor Arcana of Wands of the Tarot Rider Waite
We continue on our way discovering the Minor Arcana of the Waite tarot, and now we focus on the clubs, 14 other pieces full of mystery and secrets.
Ace of clubs
We begin with the first card, in this case the ace of clubs, the symbol of creation and birth . This piece demonstrates great power when it comes to starting plans with energy. That is, it is synonymous with the ability to undertake any company, adventure or research with a way to carry everything plagued with determination.
Ace of clubs invested
On the other hand, if it appears inverted, we find a great perversion of its meaning, which transforms the profile into loss of employment or project, from false starts and from misfortunes.
2 of clubs
We continue on the pilgrimage that begins here with the branch of the clubs, and we now focus on its second card, pure symbol of dominion and self-control. In this case we discover a very mature profile, that is, a very bold person, with high self-control and an enormous capacity to influence others.
2 invested baskets
On the other hand, if the letter appears inverted, the meaning is very different, and much more negative, as usual. Here is a sample of riots . A person who despises the consequences of his actions, towards those who feel indifference, or is prey to fear or illness.
3 of clubs
We continue walking between the banks of the tarot and find the three, which refers to virtue . If there is any hope in your life that something is fulfilled, it will probably be realized thanks to this letter.
If the 3 de bastos appears, we are observing a cooperative spirit, capable of associating with other people due to its strength and its nobility.
3 invested baskets
On the other hand, when this inverted Tarot Rider card appears, we find a very negative meaning, since it is talking about an inconsistent personality, with a tendency to disappointment and deception.
It can also symbolize a robbery, or that there has been a loss in life, whether material or not.
4 of clubs
On the other hand, on our way we now stumble upon the 4th of clubs, a wonderful piece that symbolizes the complete realization of the individual .
In addition, this letter is very positive, as it represents an upcoming or ongoing romance, or a well-matched marriage. It is also synonymous with harmony, social peace or settlement.
4 spent baskets
On the other hand, whenever it is invested, it means that what was once beautiful and peaceful, not now . For example, an incomplete happiness, or a life full of contradictions.
It is also synonymous with insecure profiles, who feel uncomfortable with their life or who are very suspicious of their surroundings.
5 of clubs
Then, it is the turn of the 5th of clubs, a card that usually does not contribute anything positive, look where you look. This piece of the Tarot Rider Waite is pure conflict . The most positive thing it can represent is the competition.
It is a letter that speaks of violence and fights, of an upcoming trial, of the obstacles of life and of conflict in general at all levels.
5 invested baskets
And as you can imagine, the thing does not improve when it appears inverted. In this case he tells us about undecided profiles, which become dangerous for this reason. It can also represent a betrayal or a complication in your life.
6 of clubs
We continue with our analysis to focus already on the 6 of clubs, which warns us that after the storm, calm always comes . It is the victory after a conflict, the good news and the progress after hard work. It can also symbolize a help between friends and loved ones.
6 coarse invested
On the other hand, when it appears inverted, we observe that it is due to a postponement, but not so much by necessity, rather by procrastination.
It also shows a profile with an excess of pride, with a tendency to betrayal and with a high apprehension.
7 of clubs
We continue to discover mysteries and focus now on the 7 of clubs. This powerful card represents the value of the person, as well as the victories obtained through their courage.
In addition, it is a letter that shows personal effort, struggle and victory in a fierce and fair competition. That is, it is the representation of success, but also of the effort to negotiate or to close a contract.
7 invested baskets
On the other hand, if the card falls from the inverted side, it means the opposite of positive. That is, it is a sign of a complication, a difficulty that appears along the way . It can also be a symbol of someone who is insecure and fearful. Or finally it could resemble a pregnancy or a false appearance.
8 of clubs
We continue our long walk, now focusing our attention on the 8 of clubs. In this case we talk about pure speed, which could sometimes show a hasty decision .
This is a somewhat confusing letter, because it can be both positive and negative. That is, it could show that someone rushes a lot or is hyperactive, but it is also a symbol of a love letter or high hopes . In addition, more aseptically, it could be a future air trip or the reception of messages of any kind.
8 spent baskets
On the other hand, if it appears inverted, the meaning is totally negative. Represents someone jealous, who always seeks opposition or is delayed in a business or love affair.
9 of clubs
We go now with the 9 of clubs, a letter of great strength and strength. Thanks to his aforementioned strength, he can endure very long fights and extensive efforts to achieve the final victory.
It also symbolizes the recovery of health, which allows reserved forces. In addition, it is synonymous with a good arrangement .
9 invested baskets
On the other hand, this card represents if a weakness appears reversed. In addition, it is also synonymous with poor health, or something that is delayed or suspended. Moreover, I could be warning that some adversity is approaching.
10 of clubs
Now we continue with the 10 of clubs, which is not entirely positive, although something good has to extract. On the negative side, it presents oppression, the imbalance of an egocentric person .
It is also synonymous with someone who suffers a heavy burden, or who is strong, but all his strength is detached from a spiritual source, therefore, it is something sterile.
However, on the positive side of things, it could also symbolize a problem that is soon to be resolved .
10 spent baskets
On the other hand, if the letter appears inverted, we are observing that it is still extremely negative. In this case, it is synonymous with betrayal, separation, loss or forced emigration. In addition, it is an example of discomfort and sterility.
11 of clubs
Let's now look at the 11th of clubs, also known as a jackpot. It represents a princess, and is interpreted as a person who is young and bright . That is, it offers its best profile, which is enthusiastic and daring. In addition, he is also a messenger or news carrier, but these do not necessarily have to be good.
11 invested baskets
On the other hand, if it appears inverted, in this case I know that the meaning is cruelly negative. He appears loyal ways, but he is a theatrical young man, lover of frivolity and really hollow inside. In addition, it shows an oppressive and sadly cruel personality, as we have already commented.
12 of clubs
We continue our walk and we are approaching the end of the club of clubs of the Minor Arcana of the Tarot de Waite. In this case we refer to a prince, a gentleman who shows a man full of energy, fast, daring and with a passion for life.
However, be careful with this card, which is a double-edged sword. It can be an example of nobility and generosity, but also a rushed and affinity for violence .
12 invested baskets
On the other hand, if the letter appears inverted, we again pervert the meaning. In this case, all strength and nobility become jealousy, weakness and intolerance . That is, it leads to discord, frustration and empty fights.
13 of clubs
Let's see below the next Minor Arcana of our extensive list, which in this case is the 13th of clubs. We speak of a profile that shows a queen, in this situation a kind woman capable of showing a calm but energetic attitude .
Be that as it may, not everything is positive in this letter. It could be conservative and authoritative, but also pragmatic and practical. In addition, it is fruitful of both mind and body.
13 coarse invested
On the other hand, if it appears inverted, we do find a totally negative profile. He is someone jealous, dominant, who is carried away by his irrationality and dogmatism. Also, it offends quickly and easily.
14 of clubs
We finish the club of the Minor Arcana of the Tarot Rider Waite with the king, the knight or 14 of clubs. This is a fast, daring and broadly generous man . He is passionate and demonstrates great strength and decision. He is also proud, although sometimes he shows a paternalistic attitude.
He usually represents married men, even from the countryside, but with a noble spirit. It also shows a well-matched marriage or an unexpected and juicy inheritance .
14 coarse invested
If it appears on the 14th of inverted clubs, with its perverted meaning, it shows a despotic man, with intolerant attitudes . It is prejudiced and its way of acting is usually signed by bad intention.
Minor Arcana of Tarot Rider Waite Golds
This detailed article dedicated to the Minor Arcana of the Tarot Rider Waite continues, one of the most beautiful and extensive symbolism of all that exist in the world. Now we enter the Golds suit, within which we will know the 14 cards and their meanings in the roll.
Ace of golds
We start at the beginning, as it should be, and that is none other than the ace or 1 of clubs, which entrusts us and warns us that we are starting a wonderful period full of wealth and prosperity .
It should also be noted that this letter is very interesting, since it is synonymous with great pleasure, as well as great beauty, both inside and outside.
Ace of golds inverted
In this new suit, we do not find that the inversion of the cards is something positive, rather the opposite. In fact, here we see a symbology that leads us to face a person whose success has been delayed, and also, once it arrives, has it been accompanied by the happiness that was presupposed. It is also the meaning of someone possessed by greed.
2 golds
We go now with a card that represents the change, the 2 of golds. Here we see a profile of a person who is able to alternate success and failure, as well as profit and loss, which means that he maintains a very good balance in times of transition and difficult.
We observe someone with the ability to adapt to changes and new circumstances, even though complications may occur. However, you could also tell us about someone with a somewhat unstable temperament.
2 golds inverted
On the other hand, if it appears inverted, we observe that instability comes associated with insecurity . That is, where before someone adapted perfectly to the new, now he is incapable and has many difficulties to accept the changes.
3 golds
We will meet another of the Minor Arcana, and we focus on this occasion on the 3rd of golds. A letter that is synonymous with a task well done, and that has to do with work. For example, it can be symbolized as a business transaction, or perhaps as a person who is advancing in his job and who feels he is growing professionally.
We must also remember that it can be symbolized as human dignity, or as a child.
3 golds inverted
If it falls inverted, this gold 3 spoils everything that was good and professional. Now it is just the opposite, since the work undertaken cannot be finished because there is a lack of knowledge or ability to carry it out, that is, it has been all useless. It could also be a serious lack of seriousness.
4 golds
Follow our review of the Minor Arcana of the Rider tarot with the 4 golds, symbol of power. That is, he could be reporting a future profit, or that we have sufficient material security.
Add that this letter is a symbol that we will receive a gift, or that there is an inheritance waiting for us. It is also a child's sign of the girl.
However, not everything is positive. I could be revealing a strong greed .
4 golds inverted
On the other hand, it symbolizes when a prejudice or a serious limitation is reversed. In addition, it is synonymous with stagnation, even a great material loss. In the same way, it is a very excessive expense of money.
5 golds
Now it’s 5 gold’s turn. In this case we find a quite dystopian letter that offers various interpretations, both positive and negative.
On the one hand, it is synonymous with losing money, ending a job or suffering certain concerns. In addition, it is a symbol of defeat and poverty.
However, it also has its positive connotations, such as having luck in love, enjoying with your lover or finding a wonderful friendship between various problems or because of them.
5 gold inverted
Also if it appears inverted it has duality, since it can be the arrival of a new opportunity, a job well done or a long-awaited job, but it could also mean bad luck in love.
6 golds
A wonderful letter this 6 of golds, since it is synonymous with personal success, but also economic, through material power and profit. In addition, it shows a clearly generous profile, which has no problems in sharing its wealth and shows a great capacity to do good with its fortune.
6 golds inverted
However, if this reversed card appears, the meaning changes a lot, going on to show prodigality and temporary gain that as quickly as it came can disappear. It could also mean a person who bribes another or makes unnecessary display of his wealth.
7 golds
The knowledge about the Minor Arcana of the Waite Tarot continues, now focusing attention on 7 golds. In this case we also observe that, whether it appears inverted or not, it has positive connotations in excess.
It is a symbol of failure, loss of money and defeat . A greedy being, or someone who even after very hard work, does not get the deserved profit.
7 golds inverted
As we have already commented, if it appears inverted, its meaning is not eminently positive either. In this case, it shows a success that comes too late despite hard work . Moreover, it could be synonymous with a job in which no material compensation is expected.
8 golds
On the other hand, in relation to the 8 golds, the Lesser Arcanum who now confers our attention, we find a letter that shows total prudence . In addition, it is a first step in the search and location of a profitable job or profession, while learning the business. That is, it is a profile with great skill in material and economic matters.
8 golds inverted
On the other hand, and always in the most usual line, the reversal of the card becomes extremely negative. It is synonymous with someone vain and greedy, showing a strange childish egocentrism.
9 golds
We will know more about the many Minor Arcana of the tarot, since they are a total of 56, plus another 22 Major Arcana. In this case, 9 gold tells us about profit and wealth .
This letter informs us about a profile with ample wisdom and practicality for everyday affairs. That is, it is synonymous with someone with broad stability. However, you could also report on an inheritance or loneliness.
9 golds inverted
For its part, when it appears inverted, the Arcane loses much of its positivity. That is to say, here it is synonymous of material loss or end of a beautiful friendship. In addition, you could report on a project that has been canceled or the proximity of rascals and people of bad living that can harm you.
10 golds
We now know more about 10 golds. In this chaos, we also find a Minor Arcanum who speaks of wealth, of a great material fortune that lacks nothing.
However, we could be talking with this Arcanum about other family matters, such as an inheritance, a family home that is left to us or something similar in relation to our loved ones and closest ones.
10 golds inverted
Bad fortune is added if this Arcane falls invested. In this case, the Rider Waite tarot card informs us of a family misfortune or that an important family inheritance has been lost.
In addition, it is basic if this reversed card falls, be careful with too risky or under-planned projects, as they could fail.
11 golds
We go now with the princess, jack or 11 golds. In this case we speak of a Minor Arcanum who refers to a person who is already quite educated in his youth, which leads him to be someone careful and thoughtful. He has a good capacity for administration and shows admirable, benevolent and friendly behavior. Therefore, he is always a spokesperson for good news and positive messages.
11 golds inverted
Por su parte, cuando cae en las garras de la inversi n, esta princesa se vuelve una joven rebelde sin causa alguna . Es un perfil despilfarrador y falto de l gica, que porta malas noticias y que pierde todo el dinero que cae en sus manos.
12 de oros
Llega el turno del caballero, el príncipe o 12 de oros. Un hombre maduro que demuestra ser digno de toda confianza . Es un ser responsable y muy trabajador, en quien se puede delegar cualquier tarea. De hecho, demuestra buena capacidad administrativa y se desenvuelve bien en los asuntos importantes tocantes al dinero.
12 de oros invertido
Después, llega la otra cara, la parte negativa de esta carta. Este Arcano Menor del tarot es un hombre tonto cuando aparece invertido, ya que se demuestra como un ser perezoso y descuidado, no exento de amplia torpeza. De hecho, es puro estancamiento.
13 de oros
Veamos ahora de qué se trata el 13 de oros, ya que nos acercamos al final de este palo. En este caso, también denominado como reina, representa a una mujer con gran encanto y que muestra enorme generosidad .
Estamos ante una mujer que es tranquila y muy pragmática, pero que no se cierra a su propia ambición, siempre dentro de un límite normal. Además, también simboliza la seguridad y la opulencia.
13 de oros invertido
Sin embargo, al aparecer invertido, el 13 de oros se convierte un perfil dado a las tonterías, con un exceso de temperamento. Es una mujer que se da mucha prisa en desconfiar de los demás, antes incluso de conocerlos, ya que es negligente y temerosa hacia el fracaso.
14 de oros
Acabamos el palo de los oros de los Arcanos Menores del Tarot Rider con el rey, el caballero, es decir, el 14 de oros. Aquí encontramos la representación de un hombre casado con elevado entendimiento en asuntos monetarios, por lo que es adinerado.
Sin embargo, todos los beneficios obtenidos por este caballero provienen de su trabajo bien hecho y de su paciencia. De hecho, es un jefe con amplia experiencia, y puede ser una alianza de gran confianza.
14 de oros invertido
Por su lado, si aparece invertido, estamos frente a un hombre de gran avaricia, que demuestra ser puro vicio. Puede ser un jugador experimentado, o igual un especulador con pocos reparos. Es un ser al que se le soborna con facilidad, por lo que no es confiable, sino más bien peligroso.
