Open post again.
I've been playing with using playing cards instead of my tarot deck.
Hearts - Water
Clubs - Fire
Diamonds - Earth
Spades - Air
There are thirteen cards in each of the four suits, corresponding to the 13 lunar months in a year. Fifty-two cards correspond to fifty-two weeks in a year.
Hearts correspond to the element of water, and signify love, friendship, happiness, and domestic concerns. Generally speaking, they are "happy" cards.
Clubs correspond to the element of fire, and generally signify business, ambition, and achievement issues. They generally indicate success and happiness.
Diamonds correspond to the element of earth, and generally signify career, and money issues.
Spades correspond to the element of air, and generally signify gossip, challenges, messages, and upset
Comparing them to the same question I put forth on the tarot deck, I find they run parallel. Of course, the old playing card breakdown is far smoother, simpler really. I'm going to keep track a bit longer, then, see if there if this continues to follow the same pattern.
Curious minds!
