Ace of Flowers Eliza Doolittle from My Fair Lady The beginning of love, joy and beauty is represented by the Ace of Cups, of which this card is the equivalent. Here Barbie as Eliza is peddling flowers in Covent Garden and dreaming of a loverly warm room; she is about to meet Henry Higgins and have her fortunes changed. (Rider-Waite)
Two of Flowers Blushing Orchid Bride from the Wedding Flower Collection The name of this doll is very nearly an oxymoron, for the orchid represents luxury, beauty and aphrodisiac qualities; the bride may be blushing but she's very happy. The Two of Cups portrays a new and blessed romance or mystical union, often a wedding, so it's appropriate to have Barbie as a bride here. (Rider-Waite)

Three of Flowers Flower Power Barbie, Teresa and Christie In the Rider-Waite deck, three women dancing in a garden raise their glasses in a toast to one another. The card represents hospitality and fertility, and here we see Barbie and her friends sharing similar sentiments in their flowery clothes. (Rider-Waite)
Four of Flowers Lily from FAO Exclusives A card signifying of dissatisfaction and reevaluation, here is the Lily, which is sometimes the symbol of purity and innocence (associated strongly with the Virgin Mary) but sometimes a significator of marriage or lost innocence and sometimes of death (see the flag on the Rider-Waite Death card). This Barbie could represent innocent sweetness or impending tragedy. (Rider-Waite)

Five of Flowers Iris from Flowers in Fashion The card of disappointment and sorrow bears Barbie as an iris, a flower associated so strongly with the hated French monarchy during the Terror that people were guillotined for bearings its image on jewelry or embroidery. The goddess Iris was a messenger who left rainbows in her wake, but she lived isolated and at the beck and call of other gods. (Rider-Waite)
Six of Flowers Sunflower from the Artists Series A card representing unexpected gifts, happy memories and surprises from the past is here adorned by Sunflower, a Barbie dressed in Van Gogh's colorful imagery and bringing unexpected brightness to her surroundings. (Rider-Waite)

Seven of Flowers Flower Ballerina from The Nutcracker The image on the Seven of Cups is of a man trying to choose among dreams and illusions, while the card meaning concerns willpower and determination. Here is Barbie as a fantasy ballerina, balanced perpetually on tiptoe as this delicate dancing flower. (Rider-Waite)
Eight of Flowers Pioneer Shopkeeper from the American Stories Collection
The Eight of Cups is concerned with striving for something higher, even if it means abandoning one's current path. This young woman has moved out to the frontier to create a new life for herself despite the hardships of the journey west. (Rider-Waite)

Nine of Flowers Radiant Rose from TRU Exclusives Society Style One of the most positive images in the Tarot, the Nine of Cups represents security, well-being and fulfilled wishes, sometimes even overindulgence. This elegant, self-assured Barbie is dressed in the color of love, in velvet and satin, and smiling widely. (Rider-Waite)
Ten of Flowers Water Lily from the Artists Series Barbie wears a dress based on a Monet painting of a calm pond on this card representing lasting happiness, peace and delight in family and nature, often adorned with flowers and a rainbow. (Rider-Waite)
