Court cards: people, roles, and behavior modes

Court cards do not always mean a specific person. Sometimes they show a behavior style, role age, or way of acting.

Pages

Page brings a message, learns, tries the suit's language, and often shows the beginning of a skill.

Knights

Knight moves the suit outward: quickly, stubbornly, inspired, or anxious.

Queens and Kings

Queen governs the inner space of the suit. King is responsible for outer form and result.

Practice questions

  • Is this a person or behavior mode?
  • What does this role know, and what is it still learning?

Common mistakes

  • Automatically making the card a person
  • Confusing King's maturity with rigidity
