Minor arcana cards

Now that we've covered the major arcana cards, lets begin looking at the minor arcana.  The minor arcana cards include cards of four suits; the wands, the pentacles, the swords, and the cups.  The wands correspond to fire sign energy and often are connected to creative projects.  The Pentacles correspond to earth sign energy and are connected to our business and financial matters. The swords represent air sign energy and our thoughts and beliefs.  The cups are connected to water sign energy and show us our emotional states as well as clueing us into the state of our relationships.  The minor arcana give us the more nitty gritty details of a situation.  For example the death card next to the two of cups could tell us that there is going to be a huge change in our relationship, but if it were next to the ace of pentacles it might represent a new financial venture or change in occupation. Court cards can even show us what people are involved in a situation.  If The Lovers showed up next to the page of pentacles it could be an indicator that an potential love interest would be an earth sign (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn).  The major arcana cards may tell you the most important messages or themes in a reading, but the minor arcana cards will tell you the real drama.
