The Minor ArcanaWhile the Major Arcana deal with the grander order of existence - how matter, energy, space, time, thought, and idea interact; astrological influences and impulsions; Qabalistic Pathworking, spiritual progression, and the ultimate journey of the Soul - and the Court Cards handle the levels of power, the focus and implementation of of energy through astrological signs and physics of change, and the relational impact of the people in the querent's life; the Minor Arcana cards, in contrast, handle the here and now, the realm of Earth, and the day to day delight (or drudgery) of being human.
The Kingdom Within Tarot begins with the transcendent, moves through the dynamic, and ends with the mundane: The Minor Arcana. The Minor Arcana & the Seasons of the YearThe four Suits of the Minor Arcana in The Kingdom Within Tarot correspond to a particular season in the year’s cycle:- Pentacles are set in Winter - Wands are set in Spring - Cups are set in Summer - Swords are set in Autumn On the Wheel of the Zodiac, the Sun enters the constellation of Aries (the Cardinal Fire Sign) at the start of Spring, travels through Cancer (the Cardinal Water Sign) during Midsummer, journeys through Libra (the Cardinal Air Sign) during the season of Autumn, and enters Capricorn (the Cardinal Earth Sign) in Winter; thus, each Suit is set in its corresponding Astrological Season of the year. The four court card characters correlate to the time-honored events and significances that represent the seasonal celebrations and customs attributed to their Suit.
