About the Court Cards
The four levels of human expression apply to the court cards, too. Wand court cards portray willful people with strong intent and/or a spiritual inclination. Cup court cards represent creative, passionate, and romantic people with cultivated feelings. Sword court cards illustrate intelligent, discerning, and analytical people. Pentacle court cards personify practical, down-to-earth, realistic people.
Each Enlightenment Tarot court card displays a set of human character traits to ease the recognition of the people involved in the querent’s challenge.
The court cards correspond to the four astrological quarters:
Wands/fire: Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius
Cups/water: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces
Swords/air: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius
Pentacles/earth: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn
The querent may identify the people involved in her challenge by considering their sun sign. But she needs to take this with a grain of salt, since the ascendant and the Chinese signs play a role, too.
