I will start with June 29, Monday, but this is the start of the July thread.
So, Elements: Air: Represented by the Swords, is for the mind…thought, intellect, learning
Fire: Represented by Wands, is for passion (fiery will)…actions, enthusiasm, movement- think what does fire do, it burns (transforms), creates, destroys, pushes, in essence it makes you take notice.
Water: Represented by Cups, is for emotions…feelings, but do not get confused with intuition, which is considered a feeling of the mind (air/swords), water/cup feelings are emotional.
Earth: Represented by Pentacles is for resources…I prefer the word tangibles, the things that I can touch, that I have, that are “real”, other words are assets, responsibilities (you are responsible for the things that you have, home, job, kids, car…the tangibles. This word works for me.
I will make a completely different post for the meaning of the numbers.
Getting ready for Monday and July Tarot talks, next week. Above are the Elements and what represents each element in tarot. Now I will tackle the meaning of the numbers 1-10.( {xyz} will be my choice for the number.)
Potential, possibilities {beginnings}
Choice
Growth, think 1 plus 1 [the first 2 cards] equals 3, (man and woman, equal child) {harmony}
Stability
Disruption {obstacle}
Harmony (I know, this is my word for 3…3 cups harmony, 3 swords not harmony, 3 pent harmony [working together]) so for this number I see/use {relation to others}
Predicament, I have a hard time wrapping my mind around this, I have used “relationship to others”, “reflection”, “right choices”, I just cannot come up with one word for this one.
Discipline, as in self-control, not punishment
Fulfillment, you are reaping your rewards
Culmination, completion and realization,
If you are into numerology there is more to look at with these numbers and cards.
To go to the Royalty-
Page- Earth, represent their suits aspect of grounding (remember they are the closest to the earth in the pictures and hierarchy. The page also represents Impetus.
Knight- Fire, represent the action and movement taken in their suit. The knight takes the ideas and energy of the page and puts it into motion.
Queen- Water, represents the divine feminine of their suit, the nurturing, reception, and comfort of their suit
King-Air, they take it all in and have it make sense (your mind)
The Queen and Kings used to represent female and male almost literally, with modern times letting people be more genuine with themselves, these 2 cards refer to the feminine and masculine energies.
Well, this will get us started for Monday the end of June,
Have a great weekend wonderful witches!!!

Figured I’d hop in over here to continue - seems like a good place to split up the conversation.
Oh yes… much more. When you apply numerology a lot of those meanings change.
This is very interesting to me because I’ve never applied the elements to the royal cards universally in this way. I’ve always assigned the elements individually based on the suit of the card. Like the King of Wands would be a Fire King. The Queen of Pentacles would be an Earth Queen. The Page of Swords would be an Air Page, or the Knight of Cups would be a Water Knight.
Air: Represented by the Swords, is for the mind…thought, intellect, learning
