Welcome back Tarot Lovers, to our Tarot Journey!  Now that we've covered the Major Arcana (the major, life altering cards), now we can take a closer look at the day to day situations we find ourselves in, and gain some new insights.

There are 4 suits in the minor arcana, the cups, the wands, the swords, and the pentacles.  These are numbered ace through ten, the basic numerology will be seen across all suits, but each suit has it's own theme.

The theme of the cups suit, which is where we are starting, is EMOTIONS.  The cups card represent our emotional state of being, whereas the sword cards represent our THINKING state.  The Pentacles symbolize our PHYSICAL STATE of affairs, and the wands represent our PASSION, our CREATIVITY, and that which drives us from our core.

In addition to the 10 minor arcana cards in each suit, we have four COURT CARDS.  The Page, The Knight, The Queen, and The King.  Unlike the meanings of the minor arcana, the Court cards represent different people or personality traits, so they are more specific to characters in your life, they could also represent an aspect of your own character.

With that in mind, let's begin our minor arcana tarot journey with the suit of Cups, knowing that all of these cards pertain to our emotional state.
