This is the complete and ordered list of the cards of the Major Arcana
The fifth (arcane) depicts the wise, indulgent character to whom one turns to ask for advice and obtain forgiveness.
The Pope too sits, like the Popess, between the two columns of the temple and addresses two listeners with a contrasting mentality, because his task is to reconcile opposites and make the highest truths accessible to the simple. He wears the triple crown on his head, which alludes to the discernment of abstract truths, and in his hand the scepter, emblem of his spiritual power. He is dressed like the Popess in blue and purple, the colors of the priesthood; the faithful, bowing to him, wear respectively, one a red dress (activity) and the other black (submission, credulity). The Pope is connected to Jupiter and corresponds to Aries and the fire element, to the letter hé, to the Sephirah Hokmah, wisdom, creative thought.

The blade is inspired by a mythological scene: the young Hercules, having completed his education with the centaur Chiron, must choose about his future existence. Two young women then appear to him, virtue and softness, which promise him different ways and advantages.
Like the Greek hero, the young man of this arcane hesitates before the austere woman, who prefigures only moral satisfaction, and the courtesan, giver of pleasures; her red and green dress, complementary colors, indicates her human nature, undecided in the face of the question. The virtuous Queen dresses, like the Popess, in red and light blue, the bacchant in yellow and green, the colors of the material.

The Chariot is the arcane of victory, the cubic vehicle, still tied to the material realization, on which the victor travels the world. He steers his chariot confidently, looking straight ahead, concretely determined not to get lost in sterile mysticism. The triumphant wears a red armor which protects him from material temptations (the yellow and green columns, support of the canopy). Adorned with the square, a Masonic emblem of universal order, he aims at moral improvement which reconciles spirit, soul, and body.
The Chariot is analogically related to Netzah, the Sephirah of triumph and victory. Therefore, it symbolizes success, evolution, protection, a victory over oneself and over obstacles. Indicates money, displacement, travel, favorable union and marriage, social ascent, and professional advancement.

Similar to the Empress in the hieratic attitude, the blond hair and the color of the clothes, Justice has however lost its wings. Her "throne appears massive; the iron crown alludes to the rigor of the law. In her right hand she holds the sword of fatality which, relentlessly, acts to restore a broken equilibrium, as well as the balance, the remedial instrument, to the errors committed that holds in the left.
She astrologically connects to Astrea, the Virgo of the zodiac who holds the scales of the autumn equinox, and to Hod, the Sephirah of radiance, glory, power, conservative of the cosmos.

The Hermit is the wise old man who bases the future on the knowledge of the past, walking with slow, cautious steps and leaning on the seven-knotted bamboo cane. His right hand holds up a lantern which illuminates his path, but which he himself partially veils with a hem of his cloak so as not to hurt his weak eyes, unaccustomed to the light.
His great gift is modesty, the awareness that one's knowledge, compared to the entity of science, is still nothing.
