Minor Arcana represents the specific, daily, or micro aspects of issues. Their presence does not usually signify a major life event, unless it is strongly supported either by Major Arcana or a significant ratio of other supporting Minor Arcana cards. While all Minor Arcana cards are in some way linked to the Major Arcana, their messages usually zero in on specific aspects of an issue, or tend to
signify situations that are less permanent and less significant than those represented by Major Arcana. However, it is always good to keep in mind that sometimes it is, indeed, the little things in life that end up forever changing the way we see things.

The Minor Arcana consists of fifty-six cards that are divided into numbered cards and court cards. We will be looking at the court cards in the next section of this book. The Minor Arcana is divided into four suits: Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles. Suit and rank both have their own specific energies that combine to create the energy of each Minor Arcana card.
