Do an intensive study of that card, ruminating on the following:
- What story does the imagery of the card seem to tell?
- Are there any secondary stories going on in the background of the card, or among the other figures?
- How would you describe the expressions on the faces of any characters depicted?
- Are any archetypal figures featured in the card?
- What is the dominant color scheme in the card?
- Are there any historical, religious, or mythical references in the cards?
- Note every symbol in the card and consider what each symbol might represent to you.
- When you flip the card over in reverse, how do your impressions of the card change?
