I tend to see 10s as cards of outcome or completion, both in the positive and negative sense; also viewed as a "wins or losses" card. | | COURT CARDS | Court cards may symbolize specific persons, personality attributes of a specific person, and/or astrological associations. Some "rules of thumb" to bear in mind are: Pages are unisex cards for depicting young people, Knights are as easily interpreted as thoughts or actions as they are young men, and Queens and Kings can be adult females and males. | Note: This list of possible interpretations has been provided using the Rider-Waite Tarot as a source of inspiration; due to their very general nature, they should apply (in part or in whole) to most traditional-style Tarot decks. These interpretations are very brief; for more in-depth card meanings, consult the pamphlet or book which came with your deck. Blessed Be! |
