This is a great basic Rider-Waite deck. Sometimes the instructions that accompany a deck are hard to work with - but beginners can also learn a lot from places like http://www.learntarot.com/ (which is a free online version of Joan Bunning's great book). Watching! (One thing caught my eye though: VIII of Cups = "Marriage with a fair woman"? That's an odd interpretation, and of course no card in a tarot deck has a single meaning. These are printed on the cards?)
It appears that "Marriage with a fair woman" is printed on that VIII of Cups card. Thanks for adding your comment on the learn tarot free online version of Joan Bunning's book.
