The way I understand it emotions arise from unconscious aspects of mind (High Priestess) which, through the roots of the mind, are closer in touch to the instreamings of spirit; feelings are emotions which have been clothed (or ennobled as Ra might say) by conscious aspects of mind (Empress); complex thoughts arise as a result of the experience of feelings (Emperor).
I'm not 100% happy with this assessment though, and I'm sure it's a little oversimplified
