Below is a chart outlining the qualities of the elements:
Suite | Gender | Focus/Direction | Expression | Traditional Meaning |
Wands | Fire | Inner /Self | energy, creativity, passion, and spirit | actions |
Cups | Water | Inner /Self | emotions, relationships, love, and intuition | emotions, feelings |
Swords | Air | Outer/Others | the mind and intellect, communicating, and conflict | indication of trouble and problems |
Pentacles | Earth | Outer/Others | represent money, material matters, and physical well-being | material things |
When an suite (one of the elements) frequents your blessing cards, consider if you are honoring the path being presented to you. If many cups are appearing, are emotions a large part of your life, or is there an emotional issue you are avoiding? Remember that blessing cards can be an affirmation that you are doing the right thing or they can be a warning that you need to refocus your life.
