General Overview: The Court Cards



Now that we have covered the aces through to the tens of the minor arcana, as well as their ten parent major arcana, it is time to move on to the court cards of the minor arcana. The court cards include the pages, the knights, the queens and the kings of their respective suits.





Often court card will represent a particular person in the querant's life. When suggesting a particular person the pages usually represent children, the knights represent older youths, teens, and perhaps young adults; whilst the queens and kings represent male and female adults respectively. Remember though that this is a generality.






Pages may also represent a messenger of information. They are also aligned with the Fool, someone new to their element, immature in some way, perhaps eager and excited, such as a student or apprentice. The knights may represent travellers or journeys. The queens can represent creators and passion, whilst the kings can also represent levelheadedness and managerial tasks.
