MORE ABOUT THE MINOR ARCANA CARDS

The function of the Minor Arcana is to describe the everyday world or life of the person. There is no mystical meaning about them It provides a background to the individual's struggle to come to terms with his or her inner reality. It is the Minor Arcana which reveals and describes just what the larger world is up to at any given time and exactly how that will affect you.  The lessons of the Minor Arcana therefore are no less important than those of the Major Arcana. It teaches that no event happens in a vacuum, everything follows from something else. 

The four suits of the Minor Arcana that is the cups, swords, wands and pentacles also correspond to the four elements:

WANDS represent the FIRE ELEMENT

CUPS represent the WATER ELEMENT

SWORDS represent the AIR ELEMENT

PENTACLES OR COINS represent the EARTH ELEMENT

WANDS are associated with growth, energy, personal enterprise and with new ideas and creativity.

CUPS symbolise  love, happiness and the emotion. Cups refer to the subsonscious mind and natural instincts  rather than to intellect or reason. 

SWORDS represent aggression, force, ambition, struggle. In the world of action, there can be both positive and negative dynamics and these differing dynamics emerge in the different cards of the Minor Arcana.

PENTACLES are associated with property and financial interests. They are also shown as coins. They represent the fruits of labour in everyday life. 

In the Minor Arcana, there are sixteen Court Cards in the Tarot Pack in each suit: King. Queen, Knights and Page. While reviewing a Tarot spread, we can make the following associations:

King is associated with Power;   Queens with Support and Creativity;  Knights with New Projects, Goal Orientation and  Page with New Information

Within each suit, the relationships of the cards are similar; they describe events or situations. These events progress in a logical and coherent order. The court cards sometimes describe situations as well. But they can also describe specific people who will influence the outcome of a series of events.
