From DeviantArt page:
Waite noted that the historical interpretations for this card are contradictory. On the one hand is ambition and on the other is the results of having ambitions without the means to realize them.

Riches, fortune, opulence, magnificence, grandeur, strength, dominion, boldness, courage, fierceness, shamelessness, revenge, resolution, generous, proud, sensitive, ambitious, refined, restless, turbulent. Chagrin, sadness, melancholy, displeasure, dolor, desolation, mortification, sourness, anger, spite.

Reversed, the card indicates extraordinary surprise.


Artist's Note: I gave myself a day to think about this composition, and I think I'm going to decide to be happy with it. It's sufficient. The Swords suit will likely remain my personal favorite. It's difficult to follow it up when that suit flowed so easily and beautifully (right from the preliminary sketch stage). Also, Diamond Tiara is a bitch to draw.
