Minor Arcana

The fifty-six suit cards — wands, cups, swords, pentacles — the daily weather of a reading.

If the Major Arcana are the seasons, the Minors are the forecast. Four suits of fourteen: numbered cards (Ace through Ten) show situations, and the court cards (Page, Knight, Queen, King) show people or energies.

Most daily readings lean minor — errands, moods, small wins. A minor-heavy day is not a lesser day; it is a usable one.
