Levi’s wheel also offers some additional interpretations of the four tarot suits, the four ranks of court cards, and the meaning of the letters T, O, R, and A

Present – Present situation.
Position : 2
Waning influences – Obstacles already overcome. Changes which have occured in the past.
Position : 3
Hidden – Hidden or unconscious influences.
Position : 4
Emerging – Emerging influences.
Position : 5
Synthesis – Draws together the other four influences.
