Court cards may represent actual people involved in a situation or just particular aspects of a personality.
Real people are complex and nuanced but the court cards represent only one particular facet of that person in a given situation and sometimes the characteristics are simplified to the extreme.
We had fun coupling the court cards traits with fictional characters to help you visualize the card’s meaning.
While you are reading the typical traits of each card, you may happen to think of someone you know or a character that represents that particular type of personality.
