Four symbolizing the material universe and material experience. Four court cards can represents living people in your life, but also your qualities that you exhibit in some situations. Cards from 1-10 usually represents situations in your everyday life in a positive or a negative context. Ace is alwasy an essence of the suit and element. Two usually has some sort of duality indicated. Three are growth and results. Four are stability, logic and solidity. Five are fluidity and change. Six are peace and harmony. Seven are rest and consideration. Eight is equilibrium of opposites. Nine is the power of the suit. Ten is the final acomplishment of the suit.
