Each Sign of the Zodiac may be related to one of the court cards. The classification of the Signs by the metaphysical qualities Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable, reflects the three basic principle of life: creation, preservation and destruction, respectively.

The Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn): generate outgoing, dynamic energy. The Kings are connected with the Cardinal signs. They are authoritative, powerful, and energetic. They represent creative, enterprising ways of relating to life, with a strong will to accomplish goals and realise ambitions.

The Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius): are more consistent, steady, loyal and reliable, with great reserves of patience. The feminine, homemaking qualities of the Queens correspond to these Fixed signs. They are images of stability and containment.

The Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces): are more volatile, always ready to change to suit the current mood or the surrounding environment. The Knights, restless, excitable, seeking new challenges and adventures, display the adaptable characteristics common to the Mutable signs.
