The tarot cards play a central role in the film, featuring heavily in the film's imagery and plot. When Bond first meets the beautiful tarot reader Solitaire, he points out the 'High Priestess' card, "that's you quite obviously, an amazing resemblance. Tell me, am I in there as well?" at which Solitaire asks him to pick a card. As Bond turns it over to see 'The Fool', Solitaire proclaims "you have found yourself". Before Bond leaves he asks "nothing about my future?", and picks another card, 'The Lovers', turning it to Solitaire with a smirk, "us"?. Later Bond discovers the upside-down 'Queen of Cups' card with his breakfast while waiting for CIA agent Rosie Carver. A foreboding message, the card implies a deceitful woman, prompting Bond to realise Carver is a double agent working for Kananga. Later, to trick Solitaire into believing seduction is in her future so that he can seduce her, Bond makes sure that he predicts 'The Lovers' by having Solitaire choose from a stacked deck of only 'Lovers' cards. When Kananga discovers that Solitaire has lost her virginity, and her power as a result, he declares "there's only one proper way to deal with this", as Baron Samedi turns over the 'Death' card.
