Four elements and the overall structure of Tarot

In Western mysticism, the four elements of fire, wind, earth and water are the most basic concepts. Their positioning is equivalent to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth and earth in the East. Everything in the world can be classified and summarized with these four elements or five elements. Therefore, the construction of the tarot card is certainly related to the four elements. The four card groups of the small Akana card belong to the four elements, while the large Akana card represents a more abstract spiritual level. In other words, the big Akana card talks about the deep causes of things, while the small Akana card presents superficial events.

1. Fire (Scepter)

Fire is related to the sceptre card group in the small cards, showing initiative, positivity, extroversion and creativity. Like the word "passion like fire", fire is usually related to movement, war, action and intuition. People with the characteristics of fire element have a quick personality. They are always energetic and stand out in the crowd. The astrological fire signs lion, Sagittarius and Aries all have this characteristic.

2. Wind air (sword)

The wind is erratic, unpredictable and highly changeable. In astrology, wind represents abstract thinking, analysis and clear judgment, focusing on theory. Practical examples are publishing, writing, traveling, studying, etc. However, on the other hand, wind is also related to troubles, problems, disputes, diseases, deaths and other negative things, so the traditional sword card group related to wind is almost avoided.

3. Water (Holy Grail)

People say that women are as gentle as water. Water is the feminine element related to feelings, feelings and subconsciousness. Compared with the initiative of fire, water plays a passive role. People with water characteristics pay special attention to interpersonal relationships and feelings. They are more feminine, delicate and sensitive. Sometimes they are sentimental, and they like to take care of others and need to be protected. Astrologically, the water signs are Pisces, cancer, and Scorpio.

4. Earth (Star coin)

The earth nourishes all things and is the most stable and reliable. If the wind is a theorist, the earth is a practitioner. People with native characteristics are diligent and unremitting. They attach importance to the sense of security given by wealth. With economic security, they can enjoy themselves, but they are less flexible. Therefore, the star coin card group related to earth not only represents money and material aspects, but also represents material enjoyment and entertainment. Earth signs include Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo.
