Each of the colors consists of an Ace, cards with numbers from 2 to 10, and personal cards - the Page, the Knight, the Queen, and the King. In interpreting them one may find inspiration in symbols related to astrology, metaphors of the elements and characteristics assigned to numbers in numerology. Personal cards usually symbolize certain people, personality traits, character traits, but also social roles or functions. They should be interpreted within the context of all the cards in a given spread.
