The Minor Arcana

Minor Arcana is the suits: Wands, Cups, Coins (Pentacles) and Sword.

​There are 14 cards in each suit, from Ace to 10, and the personality cards are Page, Knight, Queen, and King.
​Each suit represents an element:
​Wands - Fire
​Cups - Water
​Coins- Earth
​Swords - Air
The connection between the suits
These 56 cards from the Minor Arcana should be seen as a whole and not just as a suite. If you notice that there are mostly Wands in one spread, it indicates a lot of work. If, for example, there are no Coins in a spread, the person either has too much of that kind so they don't need to show it, or they have none at all - but you'll notice that in the laid-out cards.

Later, you'll have access to additional guidance while having the Major Arcana. If many of those cards appear in a spread with a specific suit, it either indicates many "transformative" events, or you can control a lot yourself.
