About The Visconti-Sforza Tarot (Pierpont-Morgan Bergamo - circa 1451)

The Visconti-Sforza tarot is a collection of Milanese 15th-century tarot decks belonging to the Visconti and Sforza families, and one of the oldest collections of tarot decks known to exist.

The Pierpont-Morgan Bergamo deck was produced around 1451 and originally composed of 78 cards. Four of the original cards are lost, including two trumps: the Devil and the Tower. We have included blank placeholders for the missing cards. The trump and face cards have a gilt background, while the pip cards are cream coloured with a flower and vine motif.

The figures on the suit of staves wear silver and blue pleated garments and carry a staff, whilst those on the suit of cups wear gold garments and carry a chalice. The swords suit shows figures dressed in full silver armour and carrying a sword, and the coins suit shows figures wearing blue garments decorated with a gold sun motif and carrying a coin.

Seven of Swords

Present: Seven of Swords

Swords were typically depicted with curved blades in ancient tarot decks to distinguish them from staves. They correspond to the playing card suit of Spades, (in Italian, spada means sword). This suit represents the element Air, and the social classes of Nobility and Military. Swords are considered a Masculine suit. Swords typically represent intellect, reason, mental clarity, and the sciences. They may also represent conflicts surrounding the questioner.

The Sevens typically concern commitment, dreams, striving, courage, will, intelligence, perseverance, strength, long-term success, coping, resistance, and transcendence. Sevens may also represent self-delusion, temptation, and wishful thinking.

Betrayal. Deception. Getting away with something. Stealth.

The Seven of Swords means to use your wits for diplomacy and not to use aggression. It can be viewed as secret planning or hidden dishonour. The questioner's acts may be legitimate, however, they may prefer to use their mind and intellect rather than use force. It may also indicate a betrayal by a companion.

Nine of Swords

Challenge: Nine of Swords

Swords were typically depicted with curved blades in ancient tarot decks to distinguish them from staves. They correspond to the playing card suit of Spades, (in Italian, spada means sword). This suit represents the element Air, and the social classes of Nobility and Military. Swords are considered a Masculine suit. Swords typically represent intellect, reason, mental clarity, and the sciences. They may also represent conflicts surrounding the questioner.

The Nines typically concern completion, perfection, the end of a cycle, independence, self-reliance, inner strength, and satisfaction. Nines can also represent defensiveness, an inability to give and take, loss, and martyrdom.

Depression. Nightmares. Intense anxiety. Despair.

This card can mean deception, premonitions and bad dreams, suffering and depression, cruelty, disappointment, violence, loss and scandal. However, all of these may be overcome through faith and calculated inaction. This is the card of the martyr and with it comes new life out of suffering. This card can also represent being plagued by fear, guilt, doubt, and worries that are to a large extent, unfounded. The chances are that the questioner or the person represented is dealing with a problematic situation or a difficult decision, but their worst fear is unlikely to materialize.

Three of Coins

Past: Three of Coins

Coins are also referred to as pentacles and may be represented by a five pointed star in a circle, or a coin decorated with a five pointed star. They correspond to the playing card suit of Diamonds. This suit represents the element Earth, and the social class of Merchants. Coins are considered a Feminine suit. Coins typically represent material wealth and possessions, the body and health, and the environment of the questioner.

The Threes typically concern action, production, creativity, early results, mastery, achievement, birth, or loss. They can represent groups, or "three's a crowd" situations. Three can also represent the synthesis of a thesis and antithesis.

Teamwork. Initial fulfilment. Collaboration. Learning.

Positive attributes of the Three of Coins in a spread include the mastery of a skill in trade or work, achieving perfection, artistic ability, and dignity through renown, rank, or power.

Wands are also referred to as Staves, Staffs, or Batons. They correspond to the playing card suit of Clubs, and many early tarot decks depict this suit as wooden clubs.

Wands typically represent creative or entrepreneurial projects, information, travel, and will - whether it be free will, or strength of willpower.

The Sixes typically concern choice, gratification, completion, good news, success in struggle or conflict, reward, recognition, triumph, innocence, nostalgia, solutions, movement away from danger, and passage from pain. Sixes may also represent desire and envy.

Public recognition. Victory. Progress. Self-confidence. Completion. Good news. Reward. Recognition. Success. Triumph.

Eight of Wands

Advice: Eight of Wands

Wands are also referred to as Staves, Staffs, or Batons. They correspond to the playing card suit of Clubs, and many early tarot decks depict this suit as wooden clubs. This suit represents the element Fire, and the social class of Peasantry. Wands are considered a Masculine suit. Wands typically represent creative or entrepreneurial projects, information, travel, and will - whether it be free will, or strength of willpower.

The Eights typically concern solidity, thick walls, skill, patience, achievement, change, and future contentment. Eights may also concern being enmeshed in the material world, trapped, caught between a rock and a hard place, revolution, travel, and showing strength to move quickly and escape a difficult situation.

Speed. Action. Movement. Swift change. Hasty actions. Journey. Travel. Flight. Motion. End to a delay.

A card of action; swiftness. Rapid growth in a business or creative project. Conveys immediate information or action. News swiftly travelling. Because the suit of Wands relates to information, look for new communication and unexpected news. Depending on surrounding cards in the draw, may indicate the speed of these events.

The Pope

Influences: The Pope

Education. Knowledge. Status quo. Institution. Conservatism. Discipline. Maturity. Formality. Deception. Power. Respect. Duality. Social convention. Belief system. Group identification. Experience. Tradition. Naïve. Religion. Conformity. Tradition. Beliefs.

The Hierophant is also known in some decks as The High Priest, or The Pope. He represents traditional education, orthodox knowledge and theology, and religion. In his positive aspect, he is a benevolent teacher, possibly of holy knowledge, and a moral advisor who prepares the questioner spiritually for life. He may be an enlightened spiritual prophet, or an intermediary with the divine. He is a conservative force, and may advise the questioner to do the right thing, to stick with what is tried and tested, and to have faith.

The Devil (Reversed)

Hopes & Fears: The Devil (Reversed)

Materialism. Ignorance. Stagnation. Bondage. Self-bondage. Selfishness. Lust. Egoism. Obsession. Anxiety. Anger. Hedonism. Passion. Instincts. Sexuality. Temptation. Doubt. Vice. Futility. Physical attraction. Pessimism. Insight. Addiction. Sexuality. Materialism.

The Devil is a symbol of evil and a warning against temptation. It represents self-bondage to an idea or belief that is preventing the subject from growing or being healthy. The Devil represents our bondage to material things, and indicates an obsession or an addiction to fulfilling earthly or base desires. This may manifest as a greed for wealth, as lust, anxiety, anger, hedonism, egotism, obsession, control, or a bondage to fear. If The Devil represents a person, it is important that the questioner understands that the bonds they wear are freely worn.

Reversed Meaning: Detachment. Breaking free. Power reclaimed.

This card can represent a release from bondage, power reclaimed, or a detachment from the material world. It may be a warning to someone who is too restrained and dispassionate that they should allow themselves to loosen up and be wild and ambitious, as restraint can be another form of enslavement.

Temperance

Outcome: Temperance

Temperance. Harmony. Balance. Health. Moderation. Joining forces. Wellbeing. Recovery. Equilibrium. Transcendence. Unification. Healing. Synthesis. Bringing together opposites. Feeling secure. Patience. Purpose. Meaning.

The Temperance card is often depicted as an individual pouring water or wine from one vessel to another. Temperance is usually female or androgynous, and frequently has wings. Temperance means moderation, and suggests to the questioner that moderation is required in some aspect of life. It can be interpreted as a need to bring balance to the questioner's life, or as a reminder that a compromise between two seemingly incompatible options is often the best option. In addition to this literal meaning, Temperance can also be interpreted as symbolising the blending or synthesis of opposites.

About Tarot Reading

Thank you for using our completely free online tarot reading. Fortune telling through tarot card divination is an old tradition. The tarot was originally invented in Medieval times to play card games. The divinatory meanings of the tarot cards commonly used today are largely derived from the works of cartomancer Jean-Baptiste Alliette, also known as Etteilla. The modern occult tarot emerged with the publication of a book, Le Monde Primitif, by the Freemason Antoine Court de Gébelin in 1781, who claimed that the tarot was derived from a book of ancient Egyptian arcane wisdom. This was followed shortly by Etteilla's divinatory book, Manière de se récréer avec le jeu de cartes nommées Tarots ("How to Entertain Yourself With the Deck of Cards Called Tarot") in 1785.

Our tarot includes numerous different classical and historical tarot decks, such as the Rider Waite Colman Smith tarot, two variations of the Soprafino deck, a classic Marseille tarot, the Sola Busca, and two of the Visconti-Sforza decks. Some of our decks are beautiful black and white line drawings, whilst others are full colour facsimilies. The Visconti-Sforza decks cannot be reproduced here in their full glory as they were heavily decorated in gold and silver leaf. We have included a choice of many different classic tarot spreads, such as the Diamond, Mirror, Mandala, and Medicine Wheel spreads. Also included is the traditional Celtic Cross spread, the archetypal spread used to tell fortunes through tarot cards.

Tarot card divination is an interesting and unique way to take a step back from a situation and interpret it from a new angle. Interpreting a tarot spread forces a fresh perspective on the questioner and may help them gain new insights into their question. Enjoy your free tarot reading!
