The Archetypes of the Tarot
The Court Cards represent the people, personalities, and evolving energies that shape our journey. Unlike the numbered cards, which capture experiences and events, the Court Cards embody character, attitude, and personal growth.
Each suit—Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles—has its own set of Court Cards: the Page, Knight, Queen, and King. These figures reflect different stages of development, perspectives, and approaches to life’s challenges and opportunities.
- Pages symbolize curiosity, learning, and fresh beginnings. They bring new insights and inspire exploration.
- Knights embody action, ambition, and movement. They urge us to pursue our goals with passion and determination.
- Queens represent mastery, intuition, and profound wisdom. They teach us to nurture and embody the energy of their suit.
- Kings represent leadership, authority, and mastery of their domain. They guide us to take responsibility and act confidently.
Do these figures remind you of yourself or someone in your life? Or do they reflect a mindset you’re stepping into?
