The four suits of the minor arcana are the cups, pentacles, wands, and swords.
The tarot suits, however, carry additional symbolic freight.
Pentacles are associated with earth and earth signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn.
So what do these tarot suits mean when they turn up in a tarot reading?
Cups may have to do with emotions, possibly including matters of the heart.
Wands bring to mind ideas and communication, while swords speak of passion and possibly conflict and anger.
It starts with the first card, the innocent fool.
The ultimate prize we receive is the world and perhaps other worlds and journeys that lie beyond.
