In Tarot, some suits are used to designate the different areas of life that are represented in the Tarot. Specifically, four suits talk about the different conditions that we go through.
In this article, I am going to talk about the suit to give the reader a better understanding of them. This knowledge is important for you to become a proficient reader, so you will be able to help yourself or others.
So, the different suits represent the different themes of Tarot, which we will go into later on in this article. I will now explain the different themes of what we need to understand.
The suits represent the different elements in the tarot. They represent the situations and events that are daily occurrences or people within your life. Just because these cards represent smaller occurrences of daily situations, it does not mean that they are insignificant or something to not concern yourself with. The thing about the minor arcana is that you can see the energies of the day-to-day activities that are going on. So, now that I have mentioned the importance, I am going to talk about the 4 suits and the meaning behind them.
Cups Suit
The cups within Tarot represent emotions and feelings. This is because the cups also represent water or water signs, and in astrology, the water signs are normally associated with feelings and emotions. When a cup card comes up in a Tarot reading, your spirits are giving the information that whatever pertains to your reading, there are influences of emotions, or there is an emotional decision that will need to be made. Whenever you see the cups within your reading, you can decide that the situation is based on emotion. Also, the cups are associated with intuition. Intuition is a very important sense that people do not pay attention to like they should. With the suit of the cups, through a single card or throughout a whole reading, you can see how intuition will play a role in the actions of a specific person. There is much more that I can write, but for now, this is a good stopping point for the suit of cups.
Wands suit
This represents inspiration and action; the wands also represent fire. When you see the wands in a Tarot spread, you can know that the situation you are dealing with will need some form of action or inspiration, or some form of creativity. Also, in some cases, the wands suit, for example, the Ace of Wands, can mean fertility. Whenever I see the wands in a Tarot reading, I know there is something that the querent is doing, and there will be a lot of energy and action involved, which is a positive indication that the person will be successful in their endeavor. The wands are a great suit to see, or it could be an indication that you will need to be motivated if you want to accomplish your goal.
Swords suit
The swords represent the mind, intellect, or spoken word; also the swords represent air. Whenever you see the swords within a tarot reading, you will be able to see what is going on in terms of intellect or things pertaining to the mind. Whenever I see the swords within a Tarot reading, I always know that there is a thought or something that is weighing down on the querent in a reading. This thought is something that needs to be handled, but the situation is not easy to handle. Also, when you see the swords in a reading, it could mean that the querent needs to be discerning and that they need to use their mind rather than their emotions when engaging in a situation.
Pentacles Suit
This represents all monetary or material matters. The pentacles also represent the element of earth. Wherever you see the pentacles when you are talking about things that are happening that will have an effect on things with money. Also, pentacles represent matters with work or your career. Seeing the pentacles in a tarot spread means that you are going to come into some money, or there is going to be an event that happens pertaining to material matters.
So this explains the suits within Tarot. I hope that when you read this, you will be able to further your Tarot journey by understanding what the different suits mean. With this guide, you will be able to use this information to improve your Tarot readings. Also, there is a lot more information within each card that you can do the research behind to have more information for your reading.
